We all have a dream‚ but the difference is how we realise our dream‚ how we obtain our dream‚ and how our dream changes us. This is evident in our learning of dreams and aspirations through the texts Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keys‚ What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? by Lasse Hallström‚ and through my own studies of Million Dollar Baby by Clint Eastwood. These three highly acclaimed texts represent

Rather than accepting their perceived (important keyword) flaws‚ growing‚ and developing character‚ they take a chance going under the knife. Plastic surgery rarely produces the desired results and creates more unhealthy obsession with things that would be relatively trivial in a mentally healthy person with proper priorities. Even if‚ by some miracle‚ someone is completely happy with their surgery

    Dream boogie

    Dream Boogie is a very confusing poem that makes us think what it is really happening inside that “house”. In my opinion this poem presents a situation between a father and his son. It began with his son waking up and asking to his father if he heard the noise inside the house that is getting harder and harder. The kid describes the sound with the words “boogie-woogie“‚ and he make his father listen to it. The father tries to make him relax by taking it like a joke‚ “Ain’t you heard something underneath”
