Immigrant Perspectives: The American Dream

# data[].attributes.body
This video gets the perspective of people who have immigrated to the United States, they give their ideas of what the American Dream is. They are saying that the American Dream is alive, they say that as long as you work hard and set goals you will be able to achieve your dreams. There will be challenges and there will be times that you feel like giving up, but there are people willing to help you if you seek it, you can do something about it. Also, people may not accept who you are because of who you are, there are problems that can't be solved sometimes, there are problems you will just have to avoid and go straight through them. In my opinion, not everyone has a chance, but a lot of people still will try and some may find another dream that is achievable to them. People will always try to achieve their dreams, no one wants to give them up, but they may find out the hard way that they aren't attainable, that there are things in their way that they can't get around, and there will always be opportunities, but some may not be taken or they may be taken before you get to them, so not everyone is safe to believe.

The article talks about how the American Dream is very difficult to achieve now, but it isn't impossible. This matches my thesis because it talks about how only a few amount of people still believe in it, but many don't, I think that the American Dream can only be achieved if you believe in it, if you push yourself hard enough to succeed you will prevail. For example, "According to a survey of over 14,000 Americans, 37% of the population believe the American dream is less attainable than it used to be" (MH Contributor). People are still believing that the dream is still alive, but it isn't as easy as before, there are many more challenges along the way. Also, "Secondly, it is often argued there are more deep-rooted issues like race, gender, and class discrepancies. Historically speaking at least, it is considerably easier for a white, middle-class man to achieve the American dream than someone from a typically poorer class and different ethnicity/gender"(MH Contributor). Many people can't overcome some of there problems, also people are judged based on their appearance and ethnicity, there isn't much they can do about that, they can't change people's minds enitrely.

The chapter I used was the epilogue, this talks about how Reyna struggled and struggled, but she triumphed, she lived up to her dreams, and she succeeded.The text talks about all the things, she went through to get here, all the support she received and she questioned herself sometimes but she always reminded herself to keep going. She wanted to make her father proud, she wanted to prove him wrong, she wanted to do something, so she struggled and fell down, but she got back up and kept going. The American Dream isn't for everyone, it's not something everyone can attain, some people will have challenges that can't be overcome and some don't have the same opportunities.

The person I interviewed was my mom, Vanessa Handy. During the interview she responded to the questions as such. The American dream to her is to live with the freedoms America has given us, and her dream when she was younger was to become a teacher. Her American Dream was to raise kids who could be successful and happy adults, her biggest influence on her dreams were her parents mainly. Her dream has come true, because she has a family who she can be proud of and her life turned out in a good way. To her, the American Dream is realistic to achieve and if your dream doesn't come true, you have to make another one and follow that one instead.

The song is talking about how America has all these great things, all these possibilities that anyone can have. About how great it is in America and how he wishes others could enjoy the same joys and possibilities we have, to have the same freedom as us. This song supports my thesis because America has all these great things, but not everyone can have them, some can’t get them and some choose not to attempt to achieve their dreams. For example, "There's television, free religion, rock 'n' roll, Standard Oil
Times Square, Jimmy Darren, Corey Wells, and Smokey Bear
Price reduction, reconstruction, Peace Corps, and lots more
Culture that we got to lend"
The song is saying that in America has all these great things, there is freedom, and all these choices to make, there are unions and many cultures that aren’t judged here. Also, " And I wish every other kid could be one--in my country
The medium is the massage
'Cause it's impossible to give
Equality and justice to inferior foreigners
Too jealous to trust us"

To be happy is to live comfortably without having to worry too much about money or problems with the real world. To be able to cherish every moment with my family and to live life to the fullest and not to regret anything.

I want to be able to make my own choices, to be able to be able to take any path I want. I want to support my own opinions and others opinions, I want to let my family be able to make their own decisions and take their own paths and watch them grow and guide them if they need it, to support them.

I want to have a family so that I can support them and love them and be able to see them grow. To be able to be loved and to let them have freedom and to have children that can be who they want to be.

The American Dream in my opinion is to live a happy and prosperous life with freedom. To live without judgement from others, to live everyday having something to look forward to. When I think of the American Dream, I think of freedom and being able to do what you want, to make choices of your own, to have opinions and freedom of speech without having to worry of the consequences. To me, to have a family and to live a life I can be proud of, not to necessarily have wealth or fame, but to live comfortably. To have a family who can make their own choices, who can be free to do what they want and to be free to go down any path they think is right, to be able to support my family and be loved by them and to love them.
