In your own words, describe George's and Lennie's plans for the future?

I would
suggest that the plans thatandhave are to find something permanent and lasting in a world that
is mutable and temporal.  The dream that George and Lennie have of owning a small farm in which
George could be his own boss and Lennie could tend the rabbits becomes their driving force.  In
a condition where the "bindle stiff" migrant worker moves from place to place,
collecting their "bit" and then going to the next setting, George and Lennie wish to
do something else.  Their dream is one that features roots.  While their state of being is a
rootless existence because they go to where the work is, their dreams reflect a hopeful opposite
of such a condition.  

The material reality in which they experience so much
brutality and hardship does not limit their ability to envision a world that is fundamentally
different and better from where they are.  Their dream is a reflection of this condition.  It is
one in which roots, optimism, and autonomy are evident, precisely constructed because these
elements are not present in the life they are living.  Essentially, I would describe George's
and Lennie's dream in as an example of what life can and should be as
opposed to how life is.
