Being a part of George and Lennie's plan gives Candy a sense of hope and purpose, as he sees an opportunity to escape his lonely and isolating life on the ranch. It also allows him to feel included and valued in their dream of owning a piece of land together, giving him a renewed sense of belonging and companionship. However, his involvement also makes him vulnerable to the pitfalls of the dream's ultimate failure, leaving him even more desolate and defeated.
candy is the old swamper in of mice and men. he is the man with the stump (no hand, lost it in an accident)...but candy wants to get involved with george and lennies dream after the death of his dog, because carlson shot him all because he was too old and smelly. Candy is the man who describes the theme of ageism and loneliness..he is important because he is interested in continuing the dream with george and lennie. :)
Candy is enthusiastic and eager to join George and Lennie's dream of owning a piece of land, seeing it as an opportunity for a better life.

In Of Mice and Men, George is noted from the start as the sharp, practical one of the two.

Candy wanted to talk to Lennie about the dream of owning a piece of land with George and him. Candy offered to contribute money towards purchasing the land in exchange for being allowed to live there and work with them.
George is afraid to have Candy overhear his plans for the farm and his dream to join Lennie in owning rabbits. He worries that Candy will judge him or interfere with his aspirations.
Candy greeted George and Lennie at the bunkhouse when they arrived on the ranch where they were hired to work. He was an old swamper who cleaned the bunkhouse.
Both Candy's dog and Lennie are put down due to similar reasons: they are seen as burdens that pose potential danger to others. Candy's dog is old and can no longer perform its duties, while Lennie's mental challenges make him a threat to society. Both deaths are carried out to prevent further harm and as an act of mercy.
In "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, Candy is an elderly ranch worker who lost his hand in an accident. He is marginalized on the ranch due to his age and physical disabilities. Candy forms a bond with George and Lennie and dreams of one day joining them in their plan to own a piece of land.
George responds positively to Candy's question about joining him in owning the future farm. He sees it as a good idea and shows interest in having Candy be a part of their future plans.
