Why Dreams Fail

In my opinion, dreams fail because they are just dreams: dreams. They are a visual manifestation of hope inside everybody. They are based of an unrealistic idea that in the end everything will be great. Unfortunately, most of the time this does not turn out to be true. In this book, George and Lennie have the dream of owning a farm. In the end, it will not happen because it is one of those things that is just too good to be true. Another book I cite is Things Fall Apart. The people hoped that the new colonialist governments would go away, but they didn't. And in the end, they all lost. Even in life these moments happen. When family members are dieing and will not recover, we still hope they will. This is not a bad thing, as it does keep most of us from falling apart.
