Alice Walker's The Color Purple

Many immigrants that gave everything away just for a better life got nothing in return. The golden door is open to those who are willing to work hard and embrace the opportunity. There are many types of immigrants, those who are smart, kind, and ambitious Langston Hughes explains in, ¨Let America be America Again¨, ¨Opportunity is real and life is free, equality is in the air we breath.¨ Everyone should have a second chance to achieve a better life. Being an immigrant doesn 't mean you will have

As an immigrant, his view on the American Dream was originally an optimistic one; he believed that America was a place to start anew. His view on The American Dream, however, changed when he came to America. As he lived through the conflicts and struggles of the War of 1812 ("Thomas Birch"), Birch’s perspective on the American Dream shifted to a more realistic one. He had the revelation that while American Dream is to work hard in order to have a chance at an ideal life, people are not warned about the adversity they will face as they try to start over. As a result, the majority of people who try to achieve this goal fail and must settle for what society gives them.

The depression changed the lifestyle, but the people emerged eager to find an opportunity. I think that many people saw the restoration of the American dream as their opportunity. It acted as an end goal something they could see in their future that they wanted so badly to achieve. The American dream was born again, but this time it proved to hit a little closer to home for many

The Pursuit of an American Dream In many recent discussions the issue of whether or not there is an American Dream to “…the tired, the poor, the huddled masses.” is undecided. The idealistic portrayal of our nation in early American literature is still accurate today. On one hand, some argue that America is still the “Land of Opportunity.” This is where people can be born into poverty and still end up wealthy and successful. On the other hand many people have lost hope in the American Dream, they believe that this kind of an opportunity does not exist anymore. The American Dream is someone reaching his or her full potential, becoming successful, or finding happiness.

Living in America is like a melting pot at least that is what people say. Many believe that they can be their true selves and be accepted for who they have become. Unfortunately, America is accepting of many different cultures and customs, but people still cannot accept others for who they truly are. Living the American dream expect us to have a family and raise them to be well-rounded people. In the story "The Brothers" Tenorio shows us that even our family cannot be accepting.

In my generation, growing up encouraged to step out of my comfort zone has given me the freedom to pursue my passions. The success of my generation is due to the fact that we are all equally able to chase our dreams. The freedoms citizens have in America enable people to strive for greatness. Though the inhabitants may take for granted their freedoms, I know we are truly blessed with these opportunities. Equality is necessary for freedom to exist and

The American dream has been an idea that has circles the minds of many since the establishment of the colonies. Like within its name, the American dream still remains a dream in the minds of many families who work hard, hoping for the better. The American dream will allow for them to better themselves, but not to a point of ultimate

Not a Utopia Throughout its existence America has been called a country of Equality, Liberty, Rights for All, Democracy and of course Opportunity. In our infancy people of all origins flocked to America in hopes of obtaining these ideals. Even today many still hope to relocate in order to have their chance at a slice of the American dream. But is this image of America projected largely by our own citizens but also many others around the globe at all accurate or just blind patriotism and admiration? Thomas Paine believed America to be a utopia of sorts; a place of “cordial unison” where the “poor are not oppressed,” and there are no “riots and tumults”.

He states that this dream is the ideal life for any citizen to be given equal opportunity to become successful through hard work and great determination. But is that true? Can everyone achieve this dream? I strongly feel that the population with epilepsy struggle with achieving the American Dream. They must go through their daily life, without knowing if they are safe from the world or worst themself.

Most other countries find it odd that Americans have such patriotism . Each citizen tries to be a model of what it means to be American. The novel East of Eden by John Steinbeck shows the American spirit and what it means to be American. In this novel, the reader learns that in order to be a true American one must value education, have a desire to be virtuous, and strive to be an individual. Education is a major part of being an American.

Malcolm was changing America and the trip he took to Mecca was exactly like the trip Americans, at that time, needed to take to realize that everyone is equal. The Americans need to see that everyone was created equally. The people needed to see that they all were Americans and they all had a purpose. Americans shouldn’t have to fight for rights that were already given to them. On Malcolm’s trip to Mecca he realized that everyone can live peacefully together, they just need to put their differences behind them.

The American Dream is simple, it is to be able to provide for yourself and your family. The dream is still attainable, but due to a lack of motivation and because the dream has become blown out of proportion, most Americans believe that they have not achieved it. The American Dream has been built up to be obtaining large sums of money and numerous material possessions. The actual dream, though, is to be able to provide a comfortable living for yourself and loved ones. In the last one hundred years, the dream itself has not changed, rather people’s attitude toward the dream has changed.

America is another name for opportunity that resides in the destiny of the people. There is nothing more competitive than the daily life of an American. Everyone has the chance to achieve their own desires and hope is what keeps them going. America thrives on commitment and that is what sets the goods and the greats apart. Anyone can work hard but there is nothing special about working hard because that is what is supposed to happen.

Many people have different definitions of what it means to be an American. Americans are brave, welcoming, and some may even be considered judgemental. In America everyone is welcomed with the right to express themselves and the same equality as everyone else. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that’s what makes America so diverse. Not everyone has equal opportunities and that’s what makes being an American so special.
