Our nation loves to see a “rags to riches” story‚ which is why so many of them exist. For that most part it is just a story which can be labeled as the “American dream”‚ but really it’s just a myth.

Dalton challenge the American myths of success by providing information and reason that shows how the “American dream” can only be achieved by a few people and is a rare occurrence. Both writers are focused on the reality of life

While reading the very extreme case of Matej Curko‚ it seems second nature to classify this man as abnormal. According to the five D’s of deviance distress‚ dysfunction‚ danger and duration‚ Curko is mostly normal. Deviance could most easily be defined as a breach to societal norms during a specific time period. I believe Curko’s behaviors are deemed as deviant because the police intervened.
