I believe the american dream is when people become so rich that they do not care about money anymore. The American dream is a concept that describes the idea that anyone can achieve success and prosperity in the United States through hard work and determination. It is often associated with the belief that upward social mobility is possible regardless of one's background or circumstances. The American dream is rooted in the country's history and ideals, such as freedom and opportunity. However, there has been ongoing debate about whether the American dream is still achievable for many people, particularly those facing economic and social challenges. Some argue that systemic barriers such as racism, income inequality, and lack of access to education and healthcare make it difficult for many Americans to achieve the American dream. Despite these challenges, many still believe in the American dream and strive to achieve it in their own lives.

My dad has the same american dream as me but he is the one to cause me to have that american dream. My dad is an extremely hard working carpenter and you would figure we would be living the dream right now but we have had a lot of issues in our life. This man has basically grown up broke and when i mean broke i me he had to sleep hungry sometimes alwase had long hair and had a younger sister he had to help take care of. Now my dad owns 20 acres has his own truck and completely provides for me, my younger sister, and my mom wail they are divorced. The man i can call my dad had me at a young age but made my life worth living because he guided me the right way. All the man wants to do is live on his land and forget about people and build all day with my kids(his grand kids).

The part of the book that showed me the american dream was when curly's wife told crooks to watch himself because he is black and to know his place. In the book people knew that was messed up because she is white and no one would believe a black man.

In the article they go around asking people if the american dream is real and if it is achievable. Majority of the people says the american dream is dead and no one know the true meaning is. Then people go into detail about the american dream and people just say that they are not happy so the american dream is dead to them. The true meaning of the american dream is to be happy with your job and to really make a difference and have a loud voice so people can hear you. What i mean by hear you is when people start to hate because you are doing better then them when you are showing them the way of life. The way of life it through God and only God because he will help you as long as you hear him and have a friendship with God.

What exactly is The American dream, and does it even exist anymore, and if so, does The American Dream have the same meaning today as it had in the past? Is The American Dream only for Americans, or do people from around the world still move to the U.S., hoping to achieve their dreams?

The phrase "American Dream" was invented during the Great Depression. It was the author James Truslow Adams who in his 1931 book Epic of America wrote, "But there has been also The American Dream, that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with opportunity for each according to his ability or achievement." The years that followed after the Great Depression, The American Dream came true for many of the young people, but the definition of The American Dream has changed over the years.

The American Dream is considered an opportunity for success, and according to Adams, success is earning money. For others, success is all about family and happiness. My ancestors emigrated from Sweden to the United States, hoping for a better life. During that time, the definition of The American Dream was something different compared to what it is today. Back then, The American Dream was more about survival rather than success in terms of money. When one struggles to provide food and shelter for their families, any change for the better is success. The great majority of people who emigrated from Sweden to the U.S overcame difficulties and became successful in their eyes. A few years later, my ancestors returned to Sweden financially strong and were able to buy land and start over but this time with a more stable foundation. We do not need money and fancy cars in order to call ourselves successful. Sometimes food and a roof over our heads is what we wish to have and therefore, my ancestors were living what I define as The American Dream.

April is from Sweden. She came to the United States three years ago without any expectations. April believed she had the same opportunities to reach her goals in the U.S as in Sweden. "The reason I moved to the United States was that I wanted to start over and try something different." April believes, "With high student loan debts and not being eligible to work, it is very hard to achieve my goals as an international student." Yet, the world still sees America as the land of opportunities. There are around 1.18 million international students in the U.S today. The American Dream is not dead for international students - but it can come at a cost. April explains that for her, it is a dream about freedom and success in terms of happiness.

Gabriela grew up in Peru and was living there until a couple of years ago with her husband and their two young children in a poor town. Gabriella admitted, "we were working long days for a minimum salary, which made it hard to provide enough food and shelter for the family." Gabriela and her husband knew that they had to do something about the unsustainable situation. "I moved to the U.S not only to fulfill my dreams but also my families dreams. I have been on both sides, but today, I can finally say that things are going well for my family and me and compared to our lives before, we are now living the dream."

The American Dream is still alive; it just depends on how you define it. For me, The American Dream is about success in terms of what you wish for. Compared to many other countries in the world, America is a place where you have the opportunity to determine your own success. The American Dream is also about getting an education, building a family and to reach happiness and satisfaction. In fact, it has a different meaning for each of us, but I'm sure we can all agree that the American Dream includes hope for a richer life with freedom and opportunity.
