It showed us how different people can have different views about the American Dream. Walter for example, had the view that money was the key to achieving the American Dream and Lena's idea was to be happy and have a nice family. The play also showed us how difficult it can be for some people to achieve the Dream.]]> 2018-04-23 02:30:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonblu1705/7s534ppkguaj/wish/254223021 jasonblu1705 https://padlet.com/jasonblu1705/7s534ppkguaj/wish/254223994 This cartoon shows a man talking to his children about the American Dream. He is telling them that they can grow up to do whatever they want in America. I agree with this cartoon because everyone is given the opportunity to achieve the Dream. The thing is that, for some people, this is a little bit harder for whatever reason. Everyone has problems, what matters is how hard you are willing to work to overcome them and achieve what you want to achieve.]]> 2018-04-23 02:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonblu1705/7s534ppkguaj/wish/254223994 jasonblu1705 https://padlet.com/jasonblu1705/7s534ppkguaj/wish/254225561 This video does a really good job of explaining what the American Dream means, and how to go about getting there. It also covers some of the roadblocks on the way to achieving it such as being overworked, underpaid, being isolated from your family, etc.]]> 2018-04-23 02:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonblu1705/7s534ppkguaj/wish/254225561 jasonblu1705 https://padlet.com/jasonblu1705/7s534ppkguaj/wish/254226338 This quote doesn't directly relate to the American Dream, but I think it gives some really good insight on it. Pretty much everyone's definition of the American Dream has something to do with money in some way shape or form. This quote shows that there is a less materialistic side of the American Dream, the side about happiness. If you can experience your life with joy, than that is wealth. If you are stuck working forever, that is not living the American Dream.]]> 2018-04-23 02:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jasonblu1705/7s534ppkguaj/wish/254226338
