Dreams are just conceptions of our mind for longing for more out of our selves. The problem of trying to process or make these dreams happen is the fact that we feel that these dreams will become burden upon not just our body, but our mind as well. For many this may be true, but in the case of George Smalls, this is not the case. George’s Dream or main goal is to be able to care of Lennie. This one dream has influenced most of his choices and has actual become a part of him. This has been portrayed through his actual character and showed the point of activeness.

This one dream has influenced George by so much that it began to take most of his freedom, and in the process, becoming an aspect of his life.
