The American dream I believe is different for everyone, it depends on what it means to you. For some people, it is dead and unattainable, but for me it is different. The American dream to me is a life free of worry and regret, a life you can look back on and be proud of. It is to have a life that you make your own, one that you do what you want and can be proud of. This makes it different for every person in my opinion as people would be proud of different things, so to me, it isn't one thing it is an idea of how to live life.

To me freedom is a big key to the american dream, freedom gives you the power to control your own life. The ability to do what you want with your life is important, it gives me meaning and purpose.

When interviewing my dad about the American dream he defined it as, the ability to come to the country and build the life you want. He continued by saying his American dream was to, leave a legacy for his children, and leave behind a future that his dad was able to leave behind. He got his American dream from his father, who moved from Cuba to have a better future for his kids. So far he has achieved some of his dreams but not all of them as there is always room for improvement. He ended by saying the habits you form today affect what you do tomorrow.

The song billionaire is about, dreaming of all the things they could do once they get a billion dollars. The freedom this would give them to do the things they have always wanted. For example "I'll probably take whatever's left and just split it up So everybody that I love can have a couple of bucks" To me this is about taking care of the people around you and having it so they can have a better life too. Which I think is important to the American dream so that not just your life is better but the people around you life is better. Another example is, "I wanna be a billionaire so fucking bad (so bad)

Buy all of the things I never had (buy everything, haha)" This represents the part of the American dream of not having a limit on what you can do. If you want something you can get it without worrying about the financial burden.

Is The American Dream Still Alive Today?By MH CONTRIBUTOR

The article covers the debate over whether the American dream is still alive. The article side on the side that the American dream is in fact still alive, but there are challenges. These challenges don't make the dream impossible and people are pushing through. For example "research suggests that a whopping 1.4 million startups were founded between June and September 2020. That's the biggest number than any other quarter in history!  So, with figures like this, it's easy to say that the American dream is very much still alive and well". This proves that it may be different from how it used to be, but America is still a land of opportunities which you can make anything out of. however, this doesn't make it easy, "But don't assume that it will be easy for you to reach".

The clip I showed shows the evolution of the American dream over the decades; from the people who founded America to the current day America. To how people value life and what they hoped to achieve and the growth of that. From the days of escaping prosecution to looking for a better life, to current day America. This video shows this change, shows how their has always been an American dream. How it still exist it might not be the same, but it is still their.

The Evolution of the American Dream - Madison Camplin

The epilogue shows her stance on the American dream, how coming to this country has changed her life. Everything she was able to succeed at with the opportunity she gained from being in America. She explains how she was saved from her life in Mexico, how even though she had to still go through hell in America, that she would do it over again. It supports my thesis as it proves that the American dream is still possible that with enough work it can be achieved, that if you want to do something you can make it possible in America.
