Greavu 1 John Greavu WRIT 1301 Mr. Anderson 18 OCT 2011 Reading Response # 4: The American Fantasy The American Dream is still widely advertised‚ but can no longer live up to its hype. Too many people find out the hard way that The Dream does not exist like it once used to.

Lanterns in the windows of shops were put out‚ and were replaced by the electric lamps outside on the streets. The town guards of Narshe‚ consisting of both youth and elderly men alike‚ dressed in their warm fleece uniforms and caps and

question is whether it is possible to distinguish between fantasy and true science fiction.
