Halloween

Ding-dong the clock struck midnight. It was finally Halloween...
I am Marybeth. I just moved into sunnyside last month. My favorite holiday is Halloween and I couldn't wait to go trick-or-treating. I didn't want to go to school but my mom made me. I decided to walk because I had extra time and want to think or what I want to do with all my candy. When I was walking I notice that no one else was outside. It was also oldly cold when I got to the school I was the only one there. But then I heard a swing and laughter comig from the playground.

When I got back there no one was anywhere to be found but just on swing was swinging. When I went up and started swinging there was a little girl that was on the slide that looked like she was crying so I hopped on the swing but once I got on the swing she disappeared. I decided to go home I was scared and started to get really cold. I thought I run and I was looking and got hit by a car so now I also haunt that playground every Halloween.

Dreams

         Everyone wants the "American Dream." Lennie and George are no different. They want to have there own land and have crops with cows, chickens, pigs, and of course rabbits, which Lennie would tend to.Their dream is very similar to a lot of other men, it's very realistic because many men have worked their way up to having their own land. But, during the Great Depression it would have been very hard.

         It's important to have dreams because without dreams there is no push to do anything to get further than where you are now. When others doubt your dreams you have trouble going for your dreams. Curley's wife doubted Lennie and George's dream, probably because she didn't fulfill her dream. After a long time of dreams not fulfilled they soon become forgotten and loss of hope. Traveling from place to place having no sett home or family makes it easier to keep to a dream rather than just facing reality.
