hello, i come in need of help.
I have this very important paper due next week and i cant seem to find a relevant answer to one of the questions, so i hoped we could start a discussion here and solve it together.
Question:
Although fictional, of Mice and men is a story of a failed attempt at the American Dream. Provide examples of this and explain how the novel can be seen as a metaphor, for the current political and social situation?
I got the first part of the covered, it is the second part about the current politic and social situation i cant seem to find a relevant answer to. please help me with this

Your teacher sounds like a white apologist or some neo-feminist libtard.

something to do with modern unemployment and the 'anyone can have the American Dream, unless you're poor/a minority/an immigrant/etc' today

You could try and spin it on SJWs(the woman who basically caused Lenny to die), and how they like to infest every subculture, medium, exhausting until nothing is left.

I hope /lit/ can do my homework for me.
This seems like a really awful question for a paper.

Also point out how Lenny is fully responsible for sabotaging his own access to his American Dream. This happens because of his affinity for petting soft things, such as women, without any regard for the consequences. People characterize Lenny as innocent, but his actions are anything but, instead showing a violent nature that ultimately dooms him to death by a responsible agent (George). Modern sentiment, as well as the characters in the book, give Lenny a pass because of his ignorance, and the end result is an innocent person dying because Lenny wasn't properly institutionalized. Of Mice and Men is a study in how pity of the less advantaged can get people killed.
