George and Lennie's Dream
In section three, George and Lennie's dream has a lot more detail than in the beginning of the book. They added their plan to achieve this goal in front of Candy. George and Lennie were so into it they probably didn't even notice Candy until he spoke. "When Candy spoke, they both jumped as though they had been caught doing something reprehensible,,, George was on guard immediately. I think George became on guard that quickly because he didn't want anyone else to know about the dream. Candy immediately wanted in and said that he'd even pay $350! The dream now can suddenly become possible, and soon. George and Lennie agree that Candy can join them and had a plan they could carry out so that their dream would come true within a month. I think that Candy wanted in on the dream because he said that he would be fired as soon as he could sweep (swamp) anymore. He said that he could work as long as he needed to on the property and that he would never get fired. If he were to get fired he said that "...want somebody to shoot me..." just like they did to his dog. He feels that if he were to get fired then he'd have no purpose and wouldn't be useful to anybody.
