It is also about hard work and dedication. It is true that anyone who comes to America can make it but, the people who make it work hard. It is not an easy task to "make it" in America but the American Dream is definitely possible. My personal dream is to make it into the MLB and go to college. I want to do this so I am able to be happy and support my family and make them proud.]]> 2022-05-16 20:52:04 UTC https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2186411607 5717601 https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2186416616 Another Dream of mine is to be able to afford a mansion. If I had enough money to afford it I would know I made it.]]> 2022-05-16 20:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2186416616 5717601 https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2186417663 Having a family is my American Dream I have always wanted to have a kid. I feel like if I had a family my dream would be complete.]]> 2022-05-16 20:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2186417663 5717601 https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2190167043 My dream job is to play professional baseball. This relates to the American Dream because this is quite literally my dream.]]> 2022-05-18 20:57:24 UTC https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2190167043 5717601 https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2191975110 The person I chose to my interview on was my mom. Her idea of the American dream was the ability for anyone to come to this country and be successful. Her plan when she grew up was to be able to work in the medical field. Her American dream was to be able to afford a house and have a family to support. Her parents were a great influence on her to become successful. Her dream ultimately came true, she has a stable job a family and a house. She believes that the American dream is achievable for anyone who works hard enough for it.]]> 2022-05-19 20:50:23 UTC https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2191975110 5717601 https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2191990182 The song I chose that follows the American Dream is Living in America by James Brown. This song represents the American Dream and he shows his appreciation for America. Lines like "I live in America Say it loud, you make me proud, uh Said, I live in America." prove the thesis because he is proud to be living in America because it is a a place where anyone can make their dreams come true. Another line that supports the thesis is "You might have to walk a fine line (say it)You might take a hard line But everybody's workin' overtime." This supports the thesis because it proves that the American Dream is alive and anyone can make it if they work hard enough. Overall I believe this song supports the American Dream well.

The person in the video goes on to describe the American Dream and what it means. The idea is that people are able to come to America and have successful carries. He also discuses how apart of this comes along family and home ownership which are huge parts of the dream. He ultimately decides the American Dream is still thriving which backs up the thesis I chose. In the end, there are many reasons why the American Dream is still alive and well in this video.]]> 2022-05-20 01:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2192228342 5717601 https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2193342749 The Distance Between Us is about a girls life as an immigrant coming to America. The girl comes to America because of the possibilities and opportunities it has to be successful and follow your dreams. In chapter 24 of the text before leaving for college she states "I thought about my father, about how eighteen year before he had been working fields near here sleeping in an abandoned car in order to save money." This quote supports my thesis because it shows that because she came to America through all the hardships she has been through she was still able to make her dream of going to college come true.]]> 2022-05-20 17:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2193342749 5717601 https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2193353122 The article I chose that supports my thesis is "Is the American Dream Still Alive Today." This article talks about how the American Dream is still alive today but has changed. For example it states "It's not impossible for groups to achieve the American dream, but you will have to work harder." This quote backs up the idea that the American Dream is still alive because you are able to achieve any dream you want in America as long as you work hard enough. Another example of the American dream still being alive is "In conclusion, the American dream is alive and can be achieved." This quote quite simply states that the American dream is alive and can be achieved. This obviously proves the idea that the American dream is still alive and well in this country.]]> 2022-05-20 17:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2193353122 5717601 https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2193476781  ]]> 2022-05-20 20:13:05 UTC https://padlet.com/5717601/htia98egeitr1iqr/wish/2193476781
