The text(s) that we together as a class read we very meaningful and very true about the American Dream. The concept of the American dream is that everyone has an equal chance. Also, some of the text were very critical about the American Dream.

The text that we have read compare and contrast with the concept of the American Dream in many different ways. Some text may make the American Dream sound all about money for example in the article Hollywood Dreams of wealth, beauty, and youth. This article makes the american dream sound like it is all about money and it is very easy to obtain. In other text and picture the topic stay on immigrants migrating to the US for freedom and getting away from the terrors of war and poverty.

The texts that we have read compare and contrast to my concept of the American Dream in multiple ways. In the article, Hollywood Dreams of Wealth, Youth, and Beauty it talks about how Hollywood movies made others picture realistic things such as, rivers flowing with milk  or onions as big as wheelbarrows. The movies also don't show the hardships that many go through to become rich and famous. My concept is that as long you're putting effort and time into your work you will succeed. But movies just show how people magically become rich and famous.

Out of all the texts we have read and analyzed they have all shared a idea through out. My American dream idea is similar in ways and different in ways than the American dream we have been reading about. For instance in the text we have been reading it is primarily about getting rich and famous, while I mainly focus on the part about the family

# data[].attributes.body
The texts we have read compare and contrast to my concept of the American Dream because they all describe the perfect parts of America, even though all of America isn't perfect. In other words, these texts only highlight the presentable parts of America and the American Dream.

The text we have read all compare and contrast to my concept of the American Dream. They compare and contrast because the all have patriotism in them and speak about how amazing America is to retreat to and restart your life. They say how beautiful and peace America can be too.

The texts that we have  read compare the concepts of the America dream by showing how the true nature of America. It shows our true nature through the oath, which shows that anyone that is in this country and people that are coming to this country are ready and willing to defend the freedom that this country has fought so hard to obtain and keep. The American Beauty shows the true beauty of the land that we call home and it shows just how beautiful the land of the free really is. The New Colossus shows the American symbol of freedom. This is totally different from what I thought The America Dream was, I used to think that it was all about getting money and getting the newest things and the most innovative things out. But that is not it, it is about serving the country that has served us for so long.

The texts we compared and contrasted to my version of the American Dream because it contrasted that I thought most Americans were just greedy and wanted more than what we already have, but it proved that Americans are proud. It compared because I believe that (at least some aspects of) America deserve to be celebrated, and obviously people agree.

The texts we have read compare to my concept of the American Dream. They do this because they all have something to do with saying how America is a great place and is worth liviing here because of the freedom you have.

# data[].attributes.body
The texts we have read compare and contrast to my concept of the American Dream because all the talk about how America is a strong and powerful country and how it provided homes and jobs for foreign people that want to live better lives. The American Dream means that anyone from any country can come and live the life they want to live. With that, the text contrast from the American Dream because for most people the American Dream is built around wealth and becoming famous but in the texts it never talks about the American Dream being about wealth.

The texts we have read contrast my concept of the American Dream because they all put emphasis on the good things in America and the freedoms citizens can enjoy, or how great a country it is and that everyone has an equal opportunity to be successful. Although my idea of the American Dream is similar to how it is portrayed in the texts in many ways, it differs because to me the American Dream is also being able to achieve whatever you want in life, or being able to make your idea of success a reality.

# data[].attributes.body
Each of the texts we have read have portrayed the USA as a "golden City of beauty and joy however, none of the texts have actually talked about how thousands die of gun violence, those who cant afford doctors grow sick and die or the growing homelessness on the streets.

The texts concept of the American Dream talk about how in America there are lots of things that we have that have a big impact in our country. We have a military that serves and protects our country from being attacked by others. We should feel safe when we're in America. My concept of the American Dream is that we have lots of big things that happened in our history to make this country a better place. The statue of Liberty was built to show the immigrants one of our first beautiful sightings when coming to America.

They don't really combat anything I believe but they are just much more intense than what I think about The Dream. They relate in the way that I think part of the Dream is the greatness and freedom of America but, again much more intense.

The texts that were provided compare to my concept of the American Dream by showing a glorious image of what America could be, yet they contrast as well, as I see the American dream as a prestigious life of glamour and glitz, they express it as simply entering America, and experiencing liberty.

# data[].attributes.body
The texts we have read compare and contrast to my concept of the American Dream is that my vision of it is to be rich and famous, and most of the texts we read has the same concept. My vision is different because I thought of the American Dream as a thing that anyone can succeed at, but the texts proved it wrong and you have to be talented at start.

# data[].attributes.body
The texts we have read Compare and contrast to my concept of the American dream because the texts explain how America is a place where opportunity is available and how glorious the country is. I think that the american dream is based on wealth and fame and those are the opportunities that they are talking about, but people might no achieve this dream

# data[].attributes.body
The texts we have read compare and contrast to my concept of the American Dream because they all talk about America's greatness and the opportunity it provides. To me, the American Dream means that no matter where you come from, you can be successful. It contrasts because the texts all highlight America's eminence, while I feel like the American Dream is based greatly on wealth, a topic that was missing from the texts.

# data[].attributes.body
The concept of the texts that we have been reading compared to my concept of the American Dream is totally different. The texts explain the American Dream as this fantasy that is real. It includes being rich and famous when this reality isn't real. My idea of the American Dream is going from where you are at now and improving to your greatest. Both mine and the texts concepts have something in common, and that's how beautiful this country really is.

I think most of them contrast my concept of the american dream because I think the american dream is to have your own home and family. All of these stories do not tell anything about owning a home or having a family to live with. I can compare because when they are welcoming them into the US and their successful lives that they will have in america

# data[].attributes.body
The texts' concepts and my concept of the American dream are completely different. They talk about how beautiful and amazing America is, and how everyone should come to start a new life. I think that America has been going downhill and is not as amazing as everyone says it is.
