I always want them to know there will always be food on the table and nice clothes for them and never having to worry about money or if I have money issues. ]]> 2022-05-16 17:14:51 UTC https://padlet.com/5722971/2a0lbaf636ebajqy/wish/2186113560 5722971 https://padlet.com/5722971/2a0lbaf636ebajqy/wish/2186116482 Having my own place is part of my American Dream. Because I would feel extremely happy and accomplished for getting my own place by myself. It doesn't have to be nothing fancy or big just something to keep me warm and cozy. ]]> 2022-05-16 17:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/5722971/2a0lbaf636ebajqy/wish/2186116482 5722971 https://padlet.com/5722971/2a0lbaf636ebajqy/wish/2188608466 Going to college is part of my American dream because that when I can start to feel more independent with things going on around me and on what I do. It also will make me feel like I accomplished high school in a way if i'm able to even make it into a good college. ]]> 2022-05-18 01:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/5722971/2a0lbaf636ebajqy/wish/2188608466 5722971 https://padlet.com/5722971/2a0lbaf636ebajqy/wish/2188681330 This poem supports my Thesis because they say "We are here simply because we are in search of a better place." This supports my thesis because I think peoples American Dream is to find a better place to live. Another quote from the poem is, "We are the stereotypes that you want us to be." This relates to my thesis because people chasing the American dream don't aspect to get stereotyped. Something else that backs my thesis is when they say "We are here because our villages are completely burned down to the ground." This backs my thesis because a lot of people from bad living situations come to America to follow the American Dream. ]]> 2022-05-18 02:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/5722971/2a0lbaf636ebajqy/wish/2188681330 5722971 https://padlet.com/5722971/2a0lbaf636ebajqy/wish/2188726658 What the interviewee was saying was that the American Dream is to live a peaceful and comfortable life. Everyone's American Dream is different for example the interviewees dream was to travel the world. The people that influenced the interviewee dreams was her parents. The interviewee also thinks that there are not equal opportunities for everyone. The interviewee did not take their parents advice because they decided to start a family. The advice they gave me was to follow my dreams and if it changes, change with it. ]]> 2022-05-18 03:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/5722971/2a0lbaf636ebajqy/wish/2188726658 5722971 https://padlet.com/5722971/2a0lbaf636ebajqy/wish/2190015403 This supports my thesis because it shows that some people believe in the American Dream and some don't. People base their opinions on it through situations they have gone through. For example in the video they talk about immigrating to America and the troubles that came with it. It also talks about how their parents had to work extremely hard. In the video they also talk about the people that came from dictatorships and how they came to America seeking a better life. Although some of them were stereotyped and racially profiled. ]]> 2022-05-18 18:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/5722971/2a0lbaf636ebajqy/wish/2190015403 5722971 https://padlet.com/5722971/2a0lbaf636ebajqy/wish/2190031843 This supports my thesis by talking about how some people do believe it and how some people don't. For example they talk about how majority of the lower class do not believe in the American Dream. The thought of the American Dream was very popular in 1940. ]]> 2022-05-18 18:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/5722971/2a0lbaf636ebajqy/wish/2190031843
