Why Do Dreams Fail?

Dreams fail because they aren’t real. It is rare that somebody’s dream will ever come true because people often think too much about a dream and get their hopes up and think it will come true. Dreams are different from reality. Dreams happen when someone is sleeping. Most people’s dreams are unrealistic and they aren’t possible, so they fail. Some dreams are doable though if the dreamer works hard to make it come true. In the book Of Mice and Men, I think Lennie and George’s dream is going to fail because something will go wrong. Their dream of having their own ranch with lots of animals and crops and things was possible, but not under the conditions they are in. They barely have enough money to afford anything so that would make it hard for them to accomplish their dream. In real life though, I know people as well as myself whose dreams have been made into reality because they worked hard to make them come true. It is difficult but it can happen. Many dreams have failed though because they were thought about too much and people think that if they think it can happen that it will happen but that’s not true. Dreams are almost never made into reality.

Romeo and Juliet responses

Was it right for Romeo and Juliet to run off and get married? Or was it foolish? Or both? Explain your response.
I think is was foolish of them to just run off and get married right away, after knowing each other for only a few hours. I know they fell in love at first sight and everything, but I think they should have planned it out a little bit better and not rushed things right away. They were also very young. I think they should have waited at least a few years until they grow up a bit more and they can take the marriage seriously, because obviously they don't see marriage as a big deal if they are getting married so young and after knowing each other for less than a day.

Should Romeo have been punished for killing Tybalt? How should he have been punished? Explain why you think this.
I don't think he should have been punished at all. The Montagues and Capulets were even after Tybalt was killed, because Mercutio was killed too. The Capulets were over reacting when Romeo killed Tybalt.

Do you think Juliet should have faked her death? Why or why not?
I don't think she should have faked her death. If she had just run away with Romeo or if she had been honest with her parents about him, then she most likely could have lived. When somebody fakes their own death, it's almost certain that something is going to go wrong.
