The American Dream is almost never possible for humans and is usually a myth. Everyone has a certain American Dream, but no one really achieves that goal because people aren't ever satisfied completely. Someone may want fame and money, but someone that is famous and has money usually want more. If you do reach your goal, you'll just set more and more. You may think you have achieved your American Dream, but in reality there is always something else you'll want that you don't have.

Everybody has different views on what the American Dream is, but in my opinion I believe that you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to. In other words I do think that the American Dream is a reality even though some people don´t get to experience it.

The American Dream is reality and myth. If you work hard enough then anyone can have prosperity, happiness and equality, whatever your American Dream is with a little time and effort. However most people hold the American Dream to an unrealistic standard by thinking things will happen fast and it will be easy to achieve when this is simply not the case.

The American Dream is possible for anyone to achieve if they have the desire for it. They have to want to live the lavish lifestyle and to be happy. Some people think they can have it all by just being born into the fame or the wealth but that is not always the case.

The American Dream is different in everyone's eyes but it is possible to anyone. People who come here to live their American Dream might be working for it and achieve it, and the way they are living is different from your perspective of an American Dream. To some people it might be a myth because they didn't work hard enough to reach their dream, but to other it's a reality because their hard work paid off and now they're living their dream.

I think the american dream is possible for everyone in different ways, you just have to find your happiness for example there's people who have nothing and they are happy with what they got and their life then there's the rich who got everything but always ends up not being happy. You have to be happy in life no matter what happens.

I think it is possible if they really try for it. Some one doesnt really just sit around or work fast food all their live and really be happy. Being born into it, isnt really a american dream. you have to work for it. If someone works hard for it and go to school and gets a job they like and they are happy, then yes it can be true.
It also depends on the standards of someone elses american dream.

"The American Dream" is a trial of events to accomplish a goal. Anyone and can do it. You must overcome obstacles and face the hardships of life to see your results or goals in full effect.

i feel like its a myth but in a way a reality. a reality because people may think of it differently but a myth because there is no actual definition of what it is.

The American dream is possible for ALL Americans. Everyone can have happiness. Everyone can have a dream and can achieve it if they keep going and do not give up on trying to reach it.

The American Dream is possible for all Americans. Because the definition of "American Dream" is different for each individual. Anybody can change their life style at any time they want to make it more of the American Dream to them.

# data[].attributes.body
The American Dream is definitely possible because people can come from different places and change their lifestyle to give their family a better lifestyle that they had.
Each person has a different perspective about the "American Dream" people tend to have a different meaning about that.

Some people believe they are living the American Dream and based on their opinion, they are. Not everyone can live the American Dream, some ideas could be opposite to others and keep those people from reaching their version of the American dream. So, yes. I believe it is a reality, just not the same reality for everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
The American dream can be a reality of an individual chooses to make it one. Many people feel like they are living the American dream because of simple things. It is different for each individual and no two dreams are the same. One must choose to believe in something in order to make it a reality. So yes, the American dream is possible for all Americans.

Anyone can have "The American Dream" but you have to have the desire to live the dream, you have to work for it and earn it. People like Marilyn Monroe and Martin Luther King, They helped to shape an American Dream, she showed that you need to just be yourself and he showed that everyone is equal.

The American dream is possible for all Americans because each individual has their own definition of "The American Dream." They are free to work hard for what they want and by doing that they can make it to where they want to be. A lot of people are living "The American Dream" because they just think of that as having the simplest of things.

The American Dream tends to not happen often, but it is definitely possible. Anyone can fulfill their dreams if they work hard enough. Therefore, the American Dream is a myth to some, but it takes hard work and dedication to make it a reality.

I feel that the American Dream is a reality for most Americans that are already present in the land of America. For the new Americans, they are inexperienced to the culture and reality of the harshness that America offers. Therefore it is a myth. Although there are many opportunities that are available, many new Americans lack the resources to interpret them. This would include language barrier, or lack of knowledge for what is necessary- such as understanding what to do in order to achieve that American Dream. The current modern Americans are more likely to fulfill their "American Dream" because they are exposed to the culture of America. The American Dream varies from person to person, so each experience and expectations may be different than one another.

The American dream is possible for anyone who is willing to set it as their goal. But the difference is that each person has a different perspective as in their "American Dream".

# data[].attributes.body
The American dream is possible for all American's. Everyone has a different ideas on what the American dream is but people can change their lifestyle to accomplish whatever it is they want in life.

# data[].attributes.body
The american dream is possible for all Americans? Anyone can change their lifestyle and become what they've always dreamed of even if it takes them awhile, if they really want it they will work for it until they have achieved it, because everyone's idea of it is different
