I chose this video because it helps explain on why George and Lennie from Of Mice and Men share the same American dream. George and Lennie's dream is to have their own farm just to themselves so there will be no problems and Lennie would tend to rabbits there because of his love for soft things. As Courtney says in the video, "Labor is a way of knowing." and by saying that she means what we work on is what we understand. Lennie has a a mental handicap so he does not understand very many things but he does understand how to work on a ranch. This is because that is his labor so that is what he knows about the world
and that's why owning his own is his dream. George is also in the labor of working on a ranch so his dream is too not get bossed around anymore and be his own boss. Courtney claims that the healthiest, happiest, and safest people are ones who live with their friends. This shows to be true because without each other George would be miserable and probably and Lennie would be accidentally getting into trouble. Living with a compatible companion can change your life in a drastically good way. She also believes that the new better off is people who pledge to really look out for one another and if that truly is the new better off the George and Lennie are doing very good. They are booth people who certainly look out for one another and care for each other and together make a whole. In other words, blood could not make them any closer. Mrs. Martin also explains how you should not achieve a dream you do not believe in and instead work hard to compose a life of what you do and who you associate with every single day supports what you believe in. that seems a lot better than making money or buying a fancy house or car. Lennie and George have each other and that is priceless, no amount of money can replace either one of them. Their dream is perfect to have a place of their with just them and it makes both of them happy. They both have a person who they respect and love and makes them a better person as time passes by and according to Mrs. Martin that is the American dream.
