He goes on to talk and say how this may seemed far fetched given the culture climate in the US today. But he did a survey from 2,411 people and 85% of them indicated that to accomplish your American dream you need to freedom of choice in how to live.

The book i chose to represent that the American dream is alive and well is The Distance Between Us by Reyna Grande. This is such a great book to read if your doubting the American dream and dont think you can do it. This book displays the American dream so well because it talks about how she grew up in Mexico for most of her life with no dad while he was in America making them money.

The song I chose to support that the american dream is alive and well still is Empire State of Mind by jay z and Alisha Keys. I chose this song because it talks about being in New York and saying how you can chase your dreams in New York. Such as Alisha Keys goes on to sing "Concrete jungle where dreams are made of there's nothing you cant do."This demonstrates how when in America you can accomplish your dreams. Next Alisha Keys also sings "these streets will make you feel brand new big lights will inspire you." Finally this shows how coming to America/New York will inspire you and make you want to chase and accomplish your dreams.

The term American dream means a lot to my dad because he grew up with nothing and he also lived in Peru and all he dreamed about was coming to America and becoming something. His American dream was to become a business owner and move my family out of Peru and create a good and better life in America. What influenced his American dream was when his mom and sister asked him if he would want to forget his life in Peru and move to America to hope for a better life. By them moving over to America it put his dream in action and he was able to accomplish his American dream. He was able to do this because now he owns his own business helped some of his family move out of Peru. He says he still believes America is the land of because most people still come over here from other countries to have a better life because you get so many opportunities in America way more than any other country. He said the best advice he got when going for his american dream was to not be content or settle because there is always someone coming for your spot and you shouldn't let them take it. Finally he thinks the american dream is still alive today and you just have to be willing to put in the time to accomplish it.

The definition and understanding I have of the American dream is that its a dream of a land which life is better with a good community and family and wealth. My understanding of this comes form James Truslow Adams when he says "The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement." This is where I get the understanding of the American dream. I get this definition because James Truslow Adams is the creator of what the American dream is. He came up with the Definition of the American dream in 1931. In conclusion the American dream is all about being richer fuller and better with everyone with opportunitys.
