The American Dream Research Paper

The American dream can not be limited to one thing because everyone has a different perspective, but to me the American dream is to live freely and to be successful. I believe that the American dream is to own land, build a house, make a family, and to be successful. There are many texts that illustrate the American dream. some of the texts are Neil Diamond 's "Coming to America", Dierks Bentley 's "Home", President Ronald Reagan 's “Address to the students of Moscow University”, Dwayne Johnson’s “the American dream”, and “Teen Choice Award Acceptance Speech,” by Ashton Kutcher.

Dwayne Johnson is an amazing example of someone pursuing the American dream.to Johnson the American dream is to be able to follow your dream. though having a rough past, he was able to follow his dream and become a huge success.

When his football career didn’t play out he went to wrestling. His career blew up and he also tried acting and that career blew up as well.
