American Dream today changed.

ok how did it change

Answer 25

values were lost

Answer 26

Economy is very bad in US, so now, people don't go to America to make some money, unless special circumstances.

so back when the book was made it was mostly about value now that the Dream has changed its mostly about money and sucess

In the book, Lennie and George, the main character, wanted to have a stake. Since that's the American Dream. Stake is another way of owning something, like a big farm.

Answer 36

so as of today the American dream is based off of the success and the economy but back when the book was made it was mostly about how people lived and wanted to live...????

Answer 37

Well the book took place in the Graet Depression... so it was about owning something, making some money to live.
