In the "Distance between Us" We see that Reyna achieved her American dream while her siblings did not. We saw the hatred that her parents gave her siblings for not fulfilling "their" American Dream. Their parents had a dream and since they weren't able to fulfill it they were forced to help their children. When their family drama crushed their dreams, many of the times people have tried to follow their parents footsteps but kids don’t always want to be their parents.

I began the interview with my mom by asking her when her American Dream began. She clearly told me she never had the intention to come to America and dream big. Her and my dad got married but my dad lived over here to work and provide for his family. When he met my mom he asked her to get married and come live with him. She never wanted to leave her family. Her “American Dream” wasn’t the dream she hoped for. She worked countless hours at taco bell before she became pregnant with my brother. She decided to stop working and my father continued being the main provider. My mom began to babysit kids that her friends would drop off since she was a stay at home mom. She didn’t have an American dream but she clearly stated that she got everything she ever wanted and more. She was very distraught about her not being able to see her family that she had to urge to get papers already in order to be reunited with them. She missed a lot of her sisters childhood that when she was able to see them again, she was all grown up. Every year after that, we began to go to Mexico at least once a year in order to see our family. My mom was the only child out of 9 that came to live in the United States and my dad was the only sibling as well to live a life “on the other side.” Many of the times, people and even our own family think we live the best life anyone could ever have because we live in america. Yes America gives us so many benefits and we are forever grateful for that but we aren’t the millionaires that they all think.

I found this poem that emphasizes that the American dream is alive and thriving. A couple lines say, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
an elusive american dream
a beautiful, continuous reverie
holding on to hope,
don’t waste your breath
chase, go on forever
the journey is the destination
when you dream, you see
you are growing"
We can see in this poem that he encourages to keep chasing our dreams and persevere. We shouldn't waste our time doing useless things when we have a whole journey ahead of us. We should chase those dreams and grow with them.

Poem Analysis The first poem is about how the American Dream is the pursuit of happiness. This poem displays how even though the great dream is elusive, it still gives Americans hope, and it is not a negative thing. The Dream, even if it is impossible to grasp, gives hope to those who live in America, and live their American dream. The poem also mentions how without the American Dream, there is no American. This dream is a part of American culture, and makes us who we really are. No matter how hardworking, or lazy, an American is, they still have that undeniable American spirit given to us by the idea of the American Dream.

Analysis of Poem 1:
Analysis of Poem 2:

The second poem is about how liberty and self-worth fit into the idea of the American dream. The poem is written to express the idea that everyone has an American Dream that they should chase, and that it is just waiting for someone to scoop it up. It also mentions how the pursuit of happiness is the joy of the American Dream, so how the journey can be more important that the destination, because who you became when you worked hard to achieve, is more important that what you truly achieved. The poem also touches on how you can always have another dream and change again, following a similar path of happiness in a journey.

Haikus:

The first haiku poem is about achieving distant goals, making a reference to Gatsby's greenlight across the bay.

The second haiku poem is about how America is the land of freedom and how it is the perfect place to achieve your dreams.

The third haiku is about taking it easy, but trying to keep the American Dream vibe of being hardworking. It is about how living out your dream is the final stage of the American Dream

The fourth haiku poem is about how with a dream achieved the whole world can be changed. A dream achieved can give people the hope that change will come.

The fifth haiku poem is about the oncoming old age and the inevitability of death. It is about how you must work hard to achieve your goal in the allotted time you have left.

The sixth haiku poem is about the elusiveness of that limited ecstasy of working hard to achieve a dream. It's displays how short that forever out of reach goal of being fulfilled is, how the fleeting happiness leaves after a goal is reached.

The seventh haiku poem is about reaching for a dream, and taking the hard road of trying to achieve your dreams instead of letting them die.

The eighth haiku poem is about, though it is hard and time-consuming, taking the path of working for the American Dream is better for everyone, how they can make life better for everyone.

The ninth haiku poem is about how the chase must be quick in the small out of time we all have left, and how if you wait too long the American Dream can be all but lost.

The tenth haiku poem is about the main goal of the American Dream's pursuit of happiness, that people grow and change due to their passion in following their American Dream. They managed to make themselves new, and make the world a better place

All of these poems are about the American Dream, whether it be related to how elusive it is, or how it is a beacon of hope in a foggy world. These poems display the hope and joy of achieving a dream, but after it is achieved the dream is destroyed. Even though the dream is gone, the person is a changed human being and become someone else, that is even more important than the dream itself. That is the goal of these poems, to exhibit the ideals of the American Dream.
