In Slaughter-house five one of Kurt Vonnegut's most famous works, he creates the idea that the American dream is a facade that money is entirety and can make a person feel content. We know this because the Main character of the book Billy Pilgrim, essentially succeeds in life and he still isn't contempt with himself. Billy goes through with this feeling where he can't truly accept his life, We know this because Billy feels as if he doesn't know if he’s really living that life or if hes just temporarily stuck there because in the book Billy gets trapped in time and thrown all over the place.

in Player Piano we see that the idea of the American dream is being criticized and  being put on blast. We know this because in the story, humans have become dependent on machinery. This results in humanity becoming virtually useless where only the upper class are considered “valuable”. This leads to a major deterioration of life and people questioning if they even have a true “purpose” in living. The American dream is being put on last because even though they live in this “perfect” society there is still a separation of classes which would be a complete opposite to the “equal opportunity” to succeed which is what the American Dream is all about.

In kurt Vonneguts “God Bless you,Mr.Rosewater we see that the book refutes the American dream with the main idea being that poverty is better than wealth, and that the rich should take care of the poor. Along with other ideas such as poor people are actually better than poor people. We see this with the main character Elliot when he has to keep his familys money to give back to the poor people from where his family amassed their fortune.

Kurt Vonnegut’s work refutes the american dream because in all of his writing.No matter how hard the main character seems to work they never seem to get closer to “achieving their dream”, In addition to not achieving their goal/dream his work kind of makes fun of “the American Dream” in a satirical way.
