    Hannah Gropper December 10‚ 2007 World Lit 10-5/Spencer The Influence of Horatio In Hamlet‚ the character of Horatio shapes Hamlet‚ and essentially the story line‚ more than any other character.

    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. Both “Class in America” by Gregory Mantsios and “Horatio Alger” by Harlon L.

Both writers are focused on the reality of life
