An example of this is Gatsby, he had many obstacles such as dealing with poverty at a young age and having mentors teaching him what to do and how to act rich. While Gatsby attained the American Dream through unethical ways, in the end, he still got to experience it firsthand since he was considered in "elite" in society.]]> 2023-05-18 14:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2596356509 farhank1074 https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2596362183 To Fitzgerald, what makes the American Dream appealing is knowing that once you attain it, you'll want to keep going to higher heights.

There were probably many obstacles within this family's life in order to attain this happiness. It could've been things such as school, marriage, and having to keep good relationships with loved ones. In this photo, it looks like to attain the American Dream, you need to have a job that guarantees you a good salary so that you can be successful and take care of your wife and kids.]]> 2023-05-18 15:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2596399553 farhank1074 https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2597691818 To my brother, what makes the American Dream appealing is being able to provide for your future family without stress.

He said some obstacles that would get in the way would be primarily non-supportive parents and no motivation or dedication. To attain the American Dream, my dad emphasized that you need to put work in and you have to be different from the crowd around you. That means working when no one is working in order to improve faster than the people around you so that you can attain wealth.]]> 2023-05-19 14:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2597698235 farhank1074 https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2597703677 In my opinion, what makes the American Dream appealing is the wealth and status that you get after obtaining it. There would be tons of obstacles to attain the American Dream nowadays in our society. Getting wealthy is much harder now than it was in the past so that means even more work is needed to be successful. Things such as time management and loss of loved ones are major obstacles that might come your way when working your way to the top. This can interfere a lot but to obtain the American Dream, you have to put things like that aside in order to achieve your goals.]]> 2023-05-19 14:48:04 UTC https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2597703677 farhank1074 https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2597711708 To Jay-Z what makes the American Dream appealing is wanting to be at the very top at what he does. He had many obstacles such as growing up in a very poor neighborhood in New York, also he had to drop out of high-school in order to make money for his family. These things massively impacted his life and made it 10 times harder to obtain the American Dream itself. According to Jay-Z, to attain the American Dream you can never give up and you have to believe in yourself.]]> 2023-05-19 14:55:32 UTC https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2597711708 https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2599757435 2023-05-22 08:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2599757435 shaanmeh6821 https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2600195955 I like how they used a person for an example for why the American dream is still attainable. The examples on the bottom are all the stererotypical American Dream images, so I think the creator thinks the stereotypical American Dream is also attainable as well as the more extravagant one. ]]> 2023-05-22 14:48:05 UTC https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2600195955 farhank1074 https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2600213646 Through reading all my peers padlet's and looking at their personal takes, many of them stuck with me. The one that corresponded to my ideas the most was Justin's. This is mainly because he talked about experiencing firsthand racism because of his race and religion and that stuck with me a lot as I experienced the same thing. Because of our race and religion, our chances of achieving the American Dream go down tenfold due to something we can't even control. People may joke about it while we are in school but in the future, it can have a massive impact on your future because of the immense amounts of racism and discrimination within America.]]> 2023-05-22 15:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2600213646 farhank1074 https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2600214939 2023-05-22 15:01:23 UTC https://padlet.com/farhank1074/qc24x47gjj1xseew/wish/2600214939
