THE AMERICAN DREAM - A video representation of the American Dream

"The American Dream" by Humayun Nosheerwan in April, 2012. __The Great Gatsby__ "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us.It eludedus then, but that's no matter--to-m orrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther....And one fine morning-- "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." (F. Scott Fitzgerald 180). **At the Ball Game** By William Carlos Williams The crowd at the ball game is moved uniformly  by a spirit of uselessness which delights them--  all the exciting detail of the chase  and the escape, the error the flash of genius--  all to no end save beauty the eternal--  So in detail they, the crowd, are beautiful  for this to be warned against  saluted and defied-- It is alive, venomous  it smiles grimly its words cut--  The flashy female with her mother, gets it--  The Jew gets it straight--it is deadly, terrifying--  It is the Inquisition, the Revolution  It is beauty itself that lives day by day in them idly-- This is the power of their faces It is summer, it is the solstice the crowd is cheering, the crowd is laughing in detail permanently, seriously without thought Reflection @David- Reflection of The American Dream Next Page Equality and Change in America Home __ David __
