What is the american dream?

              Adam quotes "That dream of a land in whitch life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement." I believe that we all have differnt ideas or opitons about this "America Dream" Adam says a dream of a land in witch life should be better and fuller for everyone. He's talking about how socity should be better for anyone that wants to put their dreams forth.
              We talked in class about the speeches that Arnold Schwarzenegger obama. Their interpratations of the american dream are that anyone that comes in  and is an imigrant can come to america with no money and a dream. Obama in his speech tells the audence how he grew up in a differnt country  his life wasnt the easyest becouse His father was a forgeign student he was born in kenya and grew up herding goats. He went to school in a tin-roof shack and his grandpa was a cook, a domestic servant. Obama is stateing in this part of the speech that his job and all his money wasnt just brought to him he grew up in ruff conditsions and when he came to america he says that he felt as if it was at home. Arnold Schwarzenegger had a differnt story he was from austia and he saids that when he came to the us he felt like he was where he belonged. The american dream is all about having a dream and perservering for it.

  1. I agree with Haley's closing line- "The American Dream is all about having a dream and perservering for it." No one that came to America came without a reason why. They all came for a reason and their reasons were all similar; they wanted freedom and a chance to restart their life and flourish.
