Simon believed that the American Dream was not true. The American Dream promised equality for all American citizens.

Ortiz has and will continue to advocate for his people. He has created a new wave of supporters and has really opened the eyes of the people.

Ortiz worked his way up in the social ladder year by year. As time went on he started to pick up writing and started to write poems and short stories. These short stories had such an impact on readers that identified themselves as a minority. Ortiz’s literature spread like wildfire and helped spread awareness on discrimination against Native Americans and their injustices. This supports my thesis that Simon did not believe in the American Dream. In the short story "New Story" Simon uses white arrogance as a way to teach a lesson. There was a lack of Indians."
36"Yes," I said.". The story describes a float that would dress white people into Native Americans and paint their faces. This short story spread across the country and taught ignorant White Americans in respecting Native American culture.
37"This year, we wanted to do it right.
38We have looked hard and high
39for Indians but there didn't seem
40to be any in this part of Colorado."

Ortiz created and put Native American literature on the map. Ortiz inspired hundreds of other writers and allowed them to create their own stories. These new writers created their own stories that helped bring support to Native Americans.
