Establishment of dream page 16:
Georges says to Lenny:
‘Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world’
‘They ain’t got nothing to look ahead to’
American dream- Independence, having your own bit of land, money and family.
Speaking about the dream page 83:
Crooks says to Lennie and Candy:
‘You’re nuts’ ‘I seen hunderds of men come by on the road an’ on the ranches, with their bindles on their back an’ that same damn thing in their heads’. Rejects the dream and says how ridiculous it is.
‘if you guys would want a hand to work for nothing-just his keep, why I’d come an’ lend a hand’. Crooks now says he would like to join them being as everyone’s dreams is the same and everyone’s wants change.
‘We’ll jus’ forget it’. Crooks then rejects the offer influenced by Curleys wife coming in and saying their all losers.
