Lately in class we have been discussing  the book “Of Mice and Men” and what the American dream looked like in the 1930s. In the 1930s America was going through the Great Depression and times were rough for everyone. The american dream looked very different for people than what it looked like in prior years and the years to come.  The american dream in the 1930s was all about just having enough money to make it by and have enough food to survive. It is very interesting how different the American Dream is through different time periods.
