Silas Marner- Not all dreams are destined to come true

Authors Avatar

Of mice and men is a book set in the ‘Great depression’. Thousands of jobs were lost during the dive of mixed emotions. People rushed to withdraw money from their banks. Millions of dollars were taken out of the banking industry, leaving millions of Americans in deep mess. In this book, there are two men who have been circled out and are being followed throughout the book. Their dreams were stated at the start of the story, and constantly brought up throughout it. I will be explaining in my essay why not one of them come true, other characters have dreams too, I will be explain in my essay why these, too, are not destined to come true.
