what is the attraction off the vision of the farm and the rabbits to candy?

Candy, like his dog, is old and worn out. He feels useless and that he does not belong to anything. Candy longs for a sense of belonging and purpose. This farm has a magical effect on him. It is a place where he can feel useful and call home. It is a place of friendship and camaraderie. The farm represents home and home is a very illusive concept in this novella. To these men it is a fantasy, somewhere that exists but impossible to attain.
