- The American dream is the dream of a land in which life should be better, richer and fuller for everyone. With opportunity for each ability or achievement.
- It's not a dream of motor cars and high wages but a dream of social order in which each man and woman shall be able to obtain what they deserve, regardless of birth or position.
- The idea of an American Dream is older that the US and dates back to the 1600's, which is when people began to come up with all sorts of hope and aspirations.
- Some say that it is meant to represent the possibility of living a life better than your parents did, and there is a desire amongst the parents that their children should lead a healthier and happier life.
George and Lennie have had their own American Dream for a long time. Where they wish to have a bit of land of which they can call their own. On this land, Lennie can look after the rabbits (feeding them Alfalfa) and several other animals.
During the course of the book, both Candy and Crooks hear about this dream. And between the four of them, they can raise enough money to make the dream a reality, something that not many workers have managed to do.
