This video is in regards to what the American dream is. Yes I do believe the American dream is what this video says. The American dream is a variety of different things and goals each and every American has. At the end of the video though its says, "Will they be equipped to pursue them?" Now of days its really hard to do that. People think the American dream is easily achievable. For some that may be the case but for most its not. People make sacrifices, leave the people they love, etc. just to have a better life.

In chapter 20 it talks about crossing the boarder and how Reyna was too young to but she did it anyways just to be with her family and for them not to leave her. This shows them in danger crossing the boarder just to get to America and all be together to achieve their American Dreams. This shows the realness to achieve dreams. The Grandes sacrificed a lot to get to where they are at now. Everyone thinks its so easy to achieve this goal when in reality it's not.

In this article it talks about how the American Dream is the ultimate facade. She talks about how we are convinced that there is one American dream status. In her article it says, "The "American Dream" has convinced us that to belong is to affirm one's status in the United States as "making it," particularly making it in under the ideological rules and principles of capitalism and white supremacy." In her article it also states ,"The "American Dream" is nothing but a facade used to socialize "Americans" to accept our places in the colonial hierarchy." Shes talking about how we need to really examine and look at ourselves. We are the ones that define the american dream.

This song is talking about the materialistic things, the overworking aspect, and feeling like your controlled in a sense. "When success is equated with excess

The ambition for excess wrecks us". This lyric is talking about over achievement, maybe even overworking. "want out of this machine It doesn't feel like freedom". This lyric is talking about being controlled.

His personal American dream is family, house, stable job,etc. He grew up wanting to be a musician. He said even though that didn't happen he is still living his dream. He has a house,wife,kids, and a stable job. What influenced his American dream was God and his family because he lived in poverty most of his life. He wanted to give his future family a better life than he did. His hopes and dreams did all come true considering he was a high school dropout. None the less he doesn't believe the American dream is realistic to achieve nowadays. He said the advice he has for people who fall short is to be content with what you have. He does still believe America is "a land of opportunity". The advice he remembers his family giving him is to always work hard. Advice my father gives me for my personal goals and dreams is to keep my eyes on Christ.

The American dream is whatever you want it to be. There is no one specific dream it's millions of different dreams/goals. Nobody understands that part of the American dream, it's all about making your dreams your reality. The American Dream requires hard work, sacrifice, dedication, courage, ambition, etc. The American dream is what you set your mind and standards too. My American dream is to go to college, have a job that I love, be wealthy, be content, give back to my parents, have a husband and 4 children, and make a better life for my family.

Another dream of mine is to have a stable job and make good money. I would like to have a job I love. I was always told you pick the job, don't let the job pick you. I hope the job I have pays me enough money to be wealthy so I can provide and give back.
