Grade 10th
What is the American Dream is it suppose for you to be the best person in the world to have money, wealth, or fame. Well for Lennie and George it was to own their own peace of land that was a farm. But in order for them to get that farm they get some money. In the movie they started off running away because Lennie did something bad and and both men had run away.
The reason for the American dream was for them to save up find their own farm and run it they want to. So they went to another farm were they can get work because Lennie was in real trouble. There at the farm getting to know each other but then here comes the boss son by the named Curly who was a boxer and hates big guys because he wasn't big for himself. He was keeping his left hand for his wife. Curly wife who was married to him and had no kind of relationship is that the American dream for most husband not talk to your wife.
My second reason that the old man candy had dog that he like for years and was killed because it making noise while the men were trying to get sleep during the night light. It that really the American dream shooting a dog because it old and it makes noise while your trying to sleep. The next day while working George goes in the barn to put something and Curley wife walks in and talks to him but he doesn't talk back but he did and the Curly walks in there and see wife talking to another man. That can't be the American dream because she talking to some other man.
The last reason for this American dream is Lennie had killed the little dog by accident and Curly come in the barn and talks him but he trying to avoid her because George told him not to talk to her. She told him to feel her hair and Lennie did and keep rubbing her hair and she told him to stop but he couldn't. So he killed her by snaping her neck and ran out the barn. That is not the American dream. As soon the boys came looking for him Lennie had found and talk to George for the last time and shot him.
In conclusion to this essay it's has been a lot of American Dreams that be made and mess up if you don't try. So I say it was right for George to kill his friend Lennie he didn't want him to see the worst death that can happen to him. At the end of the book was sad.
