Even though many will never achieve the typical "American Dream," the "American Dream" is synonymous to the American identity because the "American Dream" will evolve with each person and each era but it could not exist unless you were American and identified with that dream.

Yes!!! The American dream is formed by the American identity! I loved the way you put it! It's like the American identity is what enables us to live our American dream, and the American dream cultivates our American identity!

Americans are fueled by the opportunities handed to them. The American Identity is the common belief of individual freedom. The identity that Americans hold allow for them to dream and to have an equal opportunity to achieve success.

I like how you included that it takes motivation to achieve dreams.

I like that people are defined by their dreams because it is what drives you and makes you happy which is the American dream.

Americans are fueled by the opportunities handed to them which I think is the American dream and it ties into the American identity.

The American dream is what Americans hope to achieve in the future. Whatever they end up achieving, whether it is what they wanted to achieve or not, becomes the "American Identity". When we say "American Identity", this could mean two things: either the way Americans identify themselves, or they way everyone else sees Americans. These two "identities" could be very different.

That is a very interesting point, "Americans are fueled by the opportunities handed to them". I never thought about it that way.

I enjoy your point that the two identities can be very different. Do you feel like there is more than just two identities?

American dream is what you want to achieve as an individual. While American identity can either be what you view yourself and others as, or it could also be what other countries view Americans as.

I've never thought of people being defined by their dreams. I think that's an interesting and cool way to think about how American Dream and American Identity are actually connected.

# data[].attributes.body
People are often defined by their dreams. The American Dream and American Identity are one and the same. The motivation and effort needed to complete the dream shows the perseverance the American Identity represents.

There can be many different identities, but I think that these are the two main categories in which we can distinguish them.

# data[].attributes.body
The American Dream and the American Identity are different because the American Dream is harder and harder to reach, is no longer part of the American identity, and American Identity is more established now than when the American Dream was born.

# data[].attributes.body
The American Dream and the American Identity are definitely different, but in the future could come to the same thing. We have developed a lot of equality over the years so if we continue this path, the American Dream will become American Identity.

# data[].attributes.body
That is very true I never thought to view it as what a individual wants to achieve! It is a wonderful point I do think it would be taken further but it definitely is good!

# data[].attributes.body
Personally I didn't think of it this way, I guess it is how you define yourself though! I think there are certain things different but definitely not a ton!

Great job! I love how you put the way American Identity is what prepares us to live the American Dream.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel as though the American identity and dream are actually quite different.

# data[].attributes.body
The American Dream and the American Identity are without a doubt different because the American dream is a dream for only one, the American Identity is what you and others veiw you as, and the American Dream becomes your American identity.
