To have a well paying job and a job that I love and to have a family.]]> 2018-10-12 15:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kolkin0737/fm8ur33i2hn2/wish/292223862 Of Mice and Men Quote kolkin0737 https://padlet.com/kolkin0737/fm8ur33i2hn2/wish/292225434 "Well, we ain't got any," George exploded. "Whatever we ain't got, that's what you want. God a'mighty, if I was alone I could live so easy. I could go get a job an' work, an' no trouble. No mess at all, and when the end of the month come I could take my fifty bucks and go into town and get whatever I want. Why, I could stay in a cathouse all night. I could eat any place I want, hotel or any place, and order any damn thing I could think of. An' I could do all that every damn month. Get a gallon of whisky, or set in a pool room and play cards or shoot pool."
This was said by George and is in Chapter 1, page 11
This represents my dream because if I can work hard and maintain a well paying job then I can spend my money on whatever I want or need, whether that's my family or myself.]]> 2018-10-12 15:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kolkin0737/fm8ur33i2hn2/wish/292225434 LeBron James inspires me to achieve my American Dream kolkin0737 https://padlet.com/kolkin0737/fm8ur33i2hn2/wish/292887436 2018-10-15 15:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kolkin0737/fm8ur33i2hn2/wish/292887436 How to achieve your American Dream kolkin0737 https://padlet.com/kolkin0737/fm8ur33i2hn2/wish/293068200 2018-10-15 20:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kolkin0737/fm8ur33i2hn2/wish/293068200 Stanza from "Let America Be America Again" kolkin0737 https://padlet.com/kolkin0737/fm8ur33i2hn2/wish/293069963 "I am the farmer, bondsman to the soil.
I am the worker sold to the machine.
I am the Negro, servant to you all.
I am the people, humble, hungry, mean—
Hungry yet today despite the dream.
Beaten yet today—O, Pioneers!
I am the man who never got ahead,
The poorest worker bartered through the years.
Yet I’m the one who dreamt our basic dream"
The use of the repeated phrase I am provides the message that the system is cruellest to those who are poorest. From the farmer to the servant, from the land to the fine houses of the wealthy, for many the Dream means only hunger and poverty.
This stanza means to me that you are treated differently based on your social class so if you work hard and earn money you will have the least amount of problems.
