George could never bring it over his heart to buy the land without Lennie, the only person, he shared the dream with is now gone and has left a thought of guilt in Georges head knowing that he has killed him and is now unaided without him. In the first chapter John Steinbeck tells us about George and Lennie thinking about the future and filling their minds with happiness. He goes deeper into it telling the details about the bit of land they wanted, the house on a few acres and the rabbits which they were going to have along with a lot of other animals, their own rooms and the stove with the milk on it, which has cream so thick that one could cut it with a knife (1A, Steinbeck, Page 16-17).

Hundreds of them. They come, an’ they quit an’ go on; an’ every damn one of ‘em’s got a piece of land in their heads. And never a god damn one of ‘em ever gets it.’ ” (1C, Steinbeck, Page 73). John Steinbeck says this and takes a clear stand that a person is dependant on the other and that they have no chance alone in achieving anything in their live because there is no one to support them. He also shows that George and Lennie’s situa
