American Dream
The American Dream
The American Dream is it just a dream or is it reality, can people actually achieve it. The person who coined this idea was James Adams and he said that The American Dream is that “life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement, regardless of social class or circumstances at birth. The American Dream has three sides the good, the bad, and the ugly. So you would think that The American Dream is something that everyone strives for some reach it while others fall short. What is good about is the final result and what people gain from it. Also the image of The American dream is huge. For example in the poem “The New Colossus” the statue of liberty is this world famous symbol for hope, happiness, and freedom. The reason why this simple statue of a lady holding a torch is such a big deal is perfectly explained in the poem. I say this because in the poem Emma Lazarus says that Lady Liberty has another name and that is the “Mother of Exiles” which mean that America is open to all those who are in need of a new place to call home. The overall meaning of this poem is that when you are beaten down and broken that you need to come to America so you can rebuild yourself with a new dream that only America can provide. Ant this dream is now known as the American Dream a dream that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. To quote Sylvester Stallone form the movie Rocky Balboa “Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits…” this quote describes what is bad about The American Dream and that is the road to success. Nowadays in modern society it is so hard to stand out due to the constantly changing technology around us. And now The American Dream is turning into just that a dream, but it’s still there. I say that because just like what the quote said if you’re not willing to take the hits then you will
