The House with Ten Acres

The House with Ten Acres

      There is no future for George and Lennie in their eyes than the little house with ten acres. They become more and more serious with their plans in chapter 3, even including Candy in their idea. Candy has $350 saved up and wants to spend $100 of that to tie down the house and make sure they get it. Lennie wants to take his puppy and tend to the rabbits. I think that, even though this sounds bright and cheery, something will probably come in between them and their dream. During the Great Depression, few men owned ten acres and all of the farmland that went with it. Curley will most likely cause something that will get in the way of their dream due to the way Lennie liquefied his hand. Curley might cut a paycheck or can them if he finds out about their plans. But I do not think he hates Lennie enough to do this. I think he might do something on a smaller scale. He might make fun of Lennie. I do not think he will ever pick a physical fight again with Lennie, though. Also, Curley's wife might play a part in them not reaching their dream. Lennie could want to feel her dress or her hair and Curley might find out and can him. 

      Lennie has never been more excited for anything than their plans for the future.
