The dream in "Of Mice and Men" is on page 40 in some editions of the book. This is when George is describing to Lennie their shared dream of owning a piece of land and living off the fat of the land.
i think you are talking about 'of mice and men' and if so candy is told that his dog should be shot at the back of its neck to give it no harm but to get rid of it.
They have no money to get the land and raise it.
Because when George killed Lennie, their dream was crushed and Candy was essentially going to piggyback on their dream.
The mountains in "Of Mice and Men" are called the Gabilan Mountains. They serve as a significant setting in the novella, representing both hope and an unattainable dream for the characters.
John Steinbeck wrote "Of Mice and Men" in 1937. This novel explores themes of friendship, loneliness, and the American Dream during the Great Depression.
Candy is portrayed as an aging ranch hand who is friendly, lonely, and vulnerable. He takes a liking to George and Lennie, offering companionship and a sense of belonging in exchange for the hope of joining them in their dream of owning a farm. Candy's attachment to his old dog highlights his fear of loneliness and abandonment.
Yes, the killing of Candy's dog in "Of Mice and Men" can be considered a mercy killing. The dog was old, suffering, and no longer had a good quality of life, so it was a compassionate act to end its suffering. This event foreshadows later events in the story.
