Life is short‚ even shorter and less rewarding when taken for granted. Living life as a pessimist leads one to such displeasure but living optimistically will guide one to happiness. “Rip Van Winkle” is a short story written by Washington Irving regarding a gentleman’s displeasure with his marriage

Robert Locke made a clear statement when he wrote the poem‚ The Road Not Taken .The ending of his poem truly embraces what I interpret as the American Dream. The last stanza states‚ “I took the one less traveled by‚ and that has made all the difference”. The ability to take the road less travelled by is what the American Dream offers. In America‚ there isn’t one set path to fulfillment‚ citizens have options and have the freedom to make choices. Our ancestors have made these opportunities available
