The American Dream isn't dead, just misunderstood. (by Jeffery McNeil)

The author of this article has the same topic mind set as I do. People tend to give up hope in the darkest times and make themselves believe that the dream is dead. Quote from the text :"Some people believe the American Dream is dead and the game is rigged against them." This line of evidence supports my thesis because it it the belief of the game being rigged.  Another quote: "Sometimes that means marching to the beat of your own drum." This also means that people rush their dreams and don't understand what happened when things don't pan out the way they want to.

This somewhat brief clip is about George and Lennie discussing their "American Dream". This takes place during the great depression causing money to get in the way of peoples dreams. These boys strive to make theirs come true through hard work at a ranch. Even against the odds the boys have hope that the dream is possible. The American dream is never dead unless you give up hope. Those who say it is dead simply don't believe in it anymore.

Of Mice and Men: George and Lennie's Dream

# data[].attributes.body
In chapter 1 of "Of Mice and Men" we were introduced to George and Lennie, and in this chapter they shared with the reader their "American dream". It was to own their own land with a house, like most people in the united states tat is often the dream .however money usually causes a problem and gets in the way .So for the rest of the book they find work at a ranch to pay for a house to live in. By the end of it they were unable to truly live the dream. That's the worst part of it, while the American dream is alive and well, it is very difficult for some people to obtain.

The Dream of Martin Luther king
by: Langston Hughes
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be engulfed, every hill shall be exalted and every mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plains and the crooked places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.

MLKJ's Dream was to have equality in a world that severely lacks it. Eventually he somewhat achieved this goal through hard work and protest. He became of a figure and put on a pedestal for what he did for the black community. Its similar to others because he had a dream and made it come true through hard work. Even though there would have been some rough patches he still made it happen. Most peoples dreams vary from family to owning homes. While it is a difficult task it is possible.

Noe Torres Interview Summary( POV ) :
The American Dream means to be self sufficient in whatever you do when you grow up. My own dream was to become a Homeowner and I have achieved that goal through going to college, getting a degree, and never giving up. Many factors play into someone "choosing" their American Dream and for me it was family. Telling me every day to be on top of school and work.  Everyday My parents would tell me the importance of going to school. It All payed off being able to support my children.

My American dream is to own property of some kind. Owning land or a building could create opportunities that can lead to everything else. You most likely wouldn't want your family to live in a box.

The way I have come to understand the American dream is to own property and have a family. Many people do have different ideas than me. Some believe that the secret is money. Others believe it is the land of opportunity. Essentially that is what it is. Opportunity is the main goal for any immigrant to move here.
