The characters in Of Mice and Men use dreams as a way to cope with the loneliness and hopelessness of their lives on the ranch. George and Lennie share the central dream of owning a small farm together one day. When they tell Candy about their dream, he joins their vision, hoping it will give him purpose and security in his old age. Crooks and Curley's wife also have dreams - Crooks of being treated as an equal, and Curley's wife of becoming a movie star - that provide temporary escape from their difficult realities. However, the novel's title suggests these dreams are unlikely to be fulfilled, and the characters' circumstances seem to ensure their dreams will remain unrealized. DreamsOf Mice And Men Powerpoint

Manga originated in the 1700s as standard artwork in Japan but became comic strips during WWII, used for propaganda. In the 1940s, many artist groups formed. Osamu Tezuka, dubbed the "Father of Manga," inspired others with his animated-style comics like "Astro Boy." Manga follows exaggerated cartoon styles with consistent facial expressions and is presented in comics and anime. Unlike Western comics focused on heroes and sci-fi, manga explores fantasy worlds and unusual settings through narratives that progress across pages from top-right to bottom-left.Initial film ideas
