Life is full of future dreams and goals.Some may come true, and others may cause misfortune. In the story, “Of Mice and Men.” Lennie, a big strong mentally challenged adult who doesn't know his strength, and George, a smarter more petite guy, travel together. Both have goals and dreams of owning a farm one day. They both have their dreams like many others but some may fail and can hurt each person in one way. Failed ideas cause misfortune in two main ways, the first is from not having another plan or goal, and also when achieving the set goal something goes wrong causing failure.

This is incorrect because, just like Lennie, George and Candy had planned to pursue their dreams, everything was going well until Lennie killed Curley's wife causing George and Candie's goals to fail even though it was not there fault. This shows that failed dreams can cause misfortune especially if something goes wrong or not having a backup
