To me, the American dream may include various different things depending on the person.. It may include being able to provide for their family, and protect them at all cost. Although for others it may be being able to buy the most expensive house on the block and having a flashy car to show off to the people around you. For some it may being able to work their dream job, going to college, or even graduating high school.. Me personally, my American Dream will be graduating college, working my dream job, and being able to provide for my family.

In this clip Kerry Healey talks about how despite changes of the economy and country in the past couple years the American dream is still thriving. She says as long as people persevere and work hard that they can accomplish it.  I agree with her statement as anyone can accomplish the American dream as it goes with my thesis of the American dream is alive and thriving. In the clip she mentions how Covid-19 may have been a bump in the road for some but to keep going and staying determined because it will be worth it in the long run. I agree with her statement ultimately I feel that everyone should try to accomplish their American dream because you can award yourself with the feeling of accomplishment and being proud of your self.

In the book The distance between us it really supports the idea, and picture of the "American dream". In chapter 24, she explains, "I looked at the ocean, and I realized there was no need to be afraid. I had gotten this far, despite everything." I feel she is saying in this that despite everything she had been through she was able to accomplish everything she put her mind too, because she was determined and did not hold back she able to succeed and obtain the accomplishment of her American dream! Reyna Grande is a great example of the American dream because she was the first person in her family to successfully graduate college, this shows that the American dream is a very real thing if you put your mind to it.

Micheal Jacksons song Man in the Mirror, supports my thesis that the American dream is alive and thriving in many ways. The first way it supports the thesis is it says "I'm starting with the man in the mirror" I believe this supports the thesis because these lyrics are talking about how he is going to start focusing on him self achieve his dreams. The second piece of evidence includes "i've got to make that change today" this shows that he is determined and isn't going to give up on his dreams.  The third and final support is when Jackson states "If you wanna make the world a better place, Take a look at yourself and then make a change" this really shows that he wants to improve himself and achieve his American dream!

I interviewed my mom Marci, and asked her a serious of questions all about the American dream. She believes that the American dream can be achieved by anyone if you work hard enough. Marcis personal American dream includes, being able to suport her family, live comfortably/ have a solid foundation, and as she has aged she says she now just wants to be the best person she can be. She says as she has gotten older she has achieved her dreams so she has changed and improved them. For example she says when she achieves one dream she makes another so she never gives up and is over all the best she can be. She says one source of insporation has come from her father she says as she grew up she watched him do everything and anything he could for his family or for others and that inspired her to never give up on her dreams, constantly persevere, work hard, and NEVER be lazy.
