Bob Hope's Adaptation Of The American Dream

When people think of the American Dream, they think of the stereotypical white picket fence, a nice home, and a nice family. What people sometimes don’t see or think of are the people who had different versions of what the American Dream is. Some think of becoming richer and more successful than their parents. Others think of being a person of power is the American Dream, but the American dream can be a little bit more simple. Starting out small and working to the top is a reasonable version of the Dream. Americans like Bob Hope and other celebrities have achieved this and many other things in their lifetime, but Hope had a little bit of something extra. He has made his way into the hearts of Americans for over seventy years, and he managed
to keep people’s spirits up even in controversial times. It was this that made Bob Hope go from humbled beginnings, to American Dream, to American icon.
