Party in the U.S.A. captures my American Dream because it talks about the journey of moving somewhere different from where you come from. I started off very nervous and contemplated if I had made the right choice to leave home, but once I got to know the area, made friends, and started a life for myself, I let go. I, like Miley am from Nashville, and Atlanta is "definitely not a Nashville party," but as soon as the "DJ plays my song" I know "I will be alright."

some traits in the song that are represented is the feeling to be the best and the feeling or need to compete with anyone no matter who or what it is, Kanye sends the message through the lyrics, “Don't like bein' questioned and don't like bein' less than Any of competition in any of my professions”. And also “So I gotta guess then, I gotta stay the best man What else you expect from, uh, Mr. West, man” which my name is west so I feel like it connects to me personally and helps me understand it more

I didn’t know what to pick because I don’t really have an American dream right now. I picked this song because for now I want to experience my youth. I don’t want to grow up too fast. In the song the lyrics,” All we want to do is have a good time, Young, wild, and reckless is how we live life”. These lyrics mean that the song writer wants to live out their youth through impulse and not really thinking about what people might say.

My American dream is to work hard to get what I want in life and to provide for my future family. This song spoke out to me because it says “ When it feel like living's harder than dyin’ For me, givin' up's way harder than tryin” I chose this lyric because it’s hard to give up when you’re actually working for something you want in life and giving up is just taking the easy way out. Also it supports the characteristic of hard work in the American Dream.

Smaller acts represents my American dream because it talks about living a very simple life while doing the things you love. “She prefers things that are worthwhile. Like small towns, that old style, and smaller acts.” Zach Bryan is very descriptive with his lyrics which help them be so relatable to me. “She hates bullcrap and loves the noise of a coastal town, the early parts of fall”. Fall is my favorite season because of how laid back everything feels, especially on the beach. This song talks about my life long dream that I hope to one day live.

Learning and experiencing life to bring peace as an end goal. While still protecting the heart of yours and others”but I did both, I switched seat
That's a one man drill but i smacked like three, but i had to hop out with two feet
Yeah i hop out with two feet”

i like this song as my dream because he talks about doing many different things by himself and the ones close to him don’t believe in him. “it hurt when your day ones change like no other” “snakes in the grass, they gon’ be there forever.” “did it on my own, i’ma do my own thing” it shows even if people turn on you or dont like you that doesnt mean you should give up on who you are.

This song relates to my American Dream because it talks about wanting to make money. “Money, money, money. Always sunny. In a rich man’s world.” To me, the part ‘Always Sunny’ means that making money always means success. And when I get the right job in the future, I’ll hope that I’ll work hard for the amount of money I want so I can use it to spend on important stuff as well as dream items/stuff I really want.

How this song relates to my American dream is because it talks about working hard for things in life. I want to be able to achieve my dreams and overcoming my fears and things that are stopping me from what I am here to do. And what I want out of life. You have to have self-control. When she says "You got to work to get the green, On your hopes you must lean from your fears, you have to wean yourself, its all or nothing, give your everything" She talk about working hard to get the green, which is achieving your dream and lean from your fears. Don't be afraid or scared you won't make it. Have faith and hope in yourself.
