HONORS ENGLISH 10, 7th period: WHAT DOES "THE AMERICAN DREAM" MEAN TO YOU?? by Ms. LeMaster https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf Post some of your ideas, words, quotes, or images/symbols of what this iconic phrase means to YOU! en-us 2017-10-27 15:58:22 UTC 2025-09-24 06:39:51 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/prod/75791056/073175d92b33c56d5f2ac1d1a8e236fd/statue_of_liberty.png Harley https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201290425

“The american dream wasn't meant for me, cause lady liberty's a hypocrite she lied to me, promised me freedom,education, and equality never gave me nothing but slavery but now look at how dangerous you made me callin me a mad man because i'm strong and bold.” -Tupac Shakur 

Being able to sit here and gain education, I may not like it but it´s still something that I am given being in America. Not many people have things we do and we need to be thankful for what we have, especially with us having ´The American Dream´.

But you shouldn't be guaranteed success; you have to work for it. You should also be able to believe what you want to believe and have the ability to propagate your ideas freely. But you should not be guaranteed that someone will take you seriously.]]> 2017-10-27 17:15:26 UTC https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201290453 Brenton 20brobertson https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201290474 -Being in Mrs Lemasters Class

Read theses song lyrics below and this is the American Dream...
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River,
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Blowin' like the breeze
[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gathered 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye
[Chorus]
I hear her voice
In the mornin' hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Take me home, now country roads
Take me home, now country roads]]> 2017-10-27 17:15:29 UTC https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201290474 Colton Knight 20cknight https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201290478 The American Dream to me is a broken promise to attract people into the American lifestyle. The American dream is not a true representation of what our country is, it only describes the people that get lucky with life]]> 2017-10-27 17:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201290478 20elewis https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201290569  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaAF_3WMJGM

It means that everyone is created equally. I also think of freedom when I think of the American Dream. The American Dream has been losing its meaning over the years. ]]> 2017-10-27 17:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201290619 20kstickel https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201290631 The American dream is being able to learn what you want to learn, when you want to learn, being able to live where and how you want to live, being able to love who and what you want to love, and being able to work and do what you want to do, lawfully. ]]> 2017-10-27 17:15:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201290631 Payton Taylor 20ptaylor https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201290652 The American Dream is being able to do what you want (within reason). Your free to decide weather you want to join the military or not, your not forced to. You also are free to decide the career you want to take or what school you want to go to.]]> 2017-10-27 17:15:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201290652 Dominic Frybarger 20dfrybarger https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201290669 The American Dream is the opportunity to live in a country in which you are able to prosper according to the class of person you are. Not in a sense where your family is rich/poor, if you were an immigrant or not. Your success, according to the American Dream at least, is dependant on your work ethic and intellectual capabilities.

This is important to Americans and to people who want to become Americans because it gives them an idea of what our country should look like. However, I don't think our country is completely but in some ways we are getting closer. In others, though, we are getting further.

You should be able to live your life the way you want to without being treated differently than others. We should all have access to the same opportunities without having to fight for them. ]]> 2017-10-27 17:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201291071 McKenna Archey 20marchey https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201291365 To me, The American Dream is the idea that everyone has equal opportunity to be just as successful as any other person in in America.]]> 2017-10-27 17:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201291365 There used to be a TV commercial that had this jingle explaining what America was: tlemaster https://padlet.com/tlemaster/9yujvu96ipyf/wish/201293332 "Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet!"
