The nature described from Chapter 1 and Chapter 6 are the same but Steinbeck in Chapter 1 portrayed how heron leaves the water snake be in the pool, which suggests that anything is possible. By this the reader gets an idea that George's dream might be accomplished. However in Chapter 6, it describes how the heron kills the water snake which forshadows to Lennie's death. This indicates that the American Dream can never be real.
