__The American Dream__

America is a nation of dreamers who look to their future with wide eyes, always hoping that the future will turn out better than the present. However, many Americans are unrealistic in their dreaming attitudes, hoping for a perfect life. Perfection, however, is impossible, and can never be obtained. This is not to say, though, that Americans should not dream. It is very important Americans do dream, but within that dream there must be a realistic approach. If one is not able to reach their goal of obtaining the American dream immediately, Americans should not give up. We as Americans must continue to fight for our rights that were mentioned by our forefathers, only with the knowledge that we should not give up if we are unsuccessful.



These are two very different perspectives of the American Dream. On the left is an American couple, eating breakfast in the morning, wearing nice clothes and with smiles on their faces. This shows a positive image of the American dream, where as the picture on the picture on the right shows the negative perception of the American Dream. this shows a lack of hope from the American. The sign stating that the "Dream is Over" implies that it once lived, and that there is no reason to continue to believe.

If that was true he must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for __//living too long with a single dream."//__
