some traits in the song that are represented is the feeling to be the best and the feeling or need to compete with anyone no matter who or what it is, Kanye sends the message through the lyrics, “Don't like bein' questioned and don't like bein' less than Any of competition in any of my professions”. And also “So I gotta guess then, I gotta stay the best man What else you expect from, uh, Mr. West, man” which my name is west so I feel like it connects to me personally and helps me understand it more

American Ride is a good song that represents the hardworking aspect of the American Dream. That can be shown in the line “ daddy works his a** off payin’ for the good life “ you can see that this represents hard work when it says “ daddy works his a** off “ whit that meaning he is working really hard.

traits from it that i have is the fact that in the song he talk bout this girl who is very hard working and tries her best to get stuff done on her own and she doesn’t really need the help off alot of people she works for herself and is her own boss.The lyrics in it that supports my dream is “ She got her own thing thats why i love her” and also “ her favorite thing to say ‘ don’t worry i got it’.” it makes me think about the fact of how i want to be that person who helps themselves to be a better person and make a change and different in mine and also others lives.

I chose Firework to represent my American dream because the message of this song is to have personal empowerment. My dream is to be able to take control of my life and make it the life I want no matter which path I take. In the song Katy sings, “Do you know that there’s still a chance for you? ‘Cause there’s a spark in you. You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine…”

My American dream is to work hard to get what I want in life and to provide for my future family. This song spoke out to me because it says “ When it feel like living's harder than dyin’ For me, givin' up's way harder than tryin” I chose this lyric because it’s hard to give up when you’re actually working for something you want in life and giving up is just taking the easy way out. Also it supports the characteristic of hard work in the American Dream.

Smaller acts represents my American dream because it talks about living a very simple life while doing the things you love. “She prefers things that are worthwhile. Like small towns, that old style, and smaller acts.” Zach Bryan is very descriptive with his lyrics which help them be so relatable to me. “She hates bullcrap and loves the noise of a coastal town, the early parts of fall”. Fall is my favorite season because of how laid back everything feels, especially on the beach. This song talks about my life long dream that I hope to one day live.

The song represents living in success and having a strong influence on people. As in the song he says “she know that im timeless”as he is saying he will always live in success. The main message of the song is to show how he has had success for a long time and will never not be successful. Being successful for a long time is something i strive to do.

This song represents the expectations of engagement or relationships going high up in excitement in love and it reflects on a diamond because it means relationships can be pure or shiny like a diamond in future. “So shine bright tonight you and I were beautiful like diamonds in the sky eye to eye so alive we’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky” this song shows my future and my American dream

i like this song as my dream because he talks about doing many different things by himself and the ones close to him don’t believe in him. “it hurt when your day ones change like no other” “snakes in the grass, they gon’ be there forever.” “did it on my own, i’ma do my own thing” it shows even if people turn on you or dont like you that doesnt mean you should give up on who you are.

In this song Che’s chorus speaks on not caring about peoples opinions by saying “Enjoy your life, hey enjoy your life”. This shows that Che is living his life to the way he wants regardless of people’s personal opinions of him. This is a huge part of the American dream and is needed to Enjoy Your Life and fully live out the true American dream.

My American dream is to not to be rich but to have enough to support myself to work hard for thing I want. Not to depend on anyone but to be independent and individuals. To be free and happy. That is why I choose The Star Spangled Banner and the message of this song to me would be is that we are free, happy and brave. In the song it says, "O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave" this supports my dream because I just want to be free and live happily.
