Dreams.

    In the novel Of Mice and Men George and Lennie have a dream, a very great dream. Their dream was to own a piece of land and to have a farm where they could live off the fat of the land. They also wanted farm animals, specifically they wanted a cow, chickens, a pig, and rabbits. Lennie wanted to tend the rabbits and George wanted to make cream that is very thick. They wanted to work whenever they wanted to and especially on rainy days they wanted to be able to not go to work and sit around and listen to the rain. I believe that their dream is very realistic, however I do also believe that it would be awfully hard to accomplish such a dream with Lennie always getting into trouble. It is very important for people to have dreams, because without dreams they would have nothing to look forward to which in turn would give them no reason to do much of anything and people would be lazy. However, sometimes people doubt dreams that people have. When this happens sometimes that person with the dream wants to give up because they believe that it's not accomplishable, but when some people are doubted that just gives them more of a reason to work harder to get what they want, it all depends on the person and their mentality. If dreams go unfulfilled for a long time they can be forgotten about because it probably wouldn't seem like that person could reach their dream. On the flip side there are still those people that believe in themselves so much that they would still work toward it, if not work harder to fulfill it. This answer can be related back to the previous one because it too depends on the person. Sometimes with dreams it's easier to hold onto an unrealizable one rather than face reality because maybe reality is to hard to deal with or that person just doesn't want to deal with negativity. An example of this would be for a middle class person to dream of one day living an upper class lifestyle, sometimes this is accomplishable but it's highly unlikely so the person believes it's easier to dream of this lifestyle then to realize that it's probably not going to be accomplished.
