As American lights illuminate the stunning skyline of opportunity, we, as Americans, don't always bask in the glory of this powerful glow. Within the nonfiction novel Enrique's Journey by Sonia Nazario, a teenage boy, Enrique, sums up the courage of a thousand men to travel through treacherous trials to find his mother in America.

You expect your life perfect. In comparison in the book “Outsiders” talks about how a 14 year old boy named Ponyboy curtis had struggles in his life with right or wrong society. In “Nothing Gold Can Stay” it talks about how life growing up is not easy, you learn from your mistakes and that is how life is supposed to be.

Throughout the play Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller we see first hand what the thought of the American dream can do to a hard working man such as Willy Loman. Craig L. Thomas once said that “You stuff someone into the American Dream, and it becomes a prison.” What he means is that sometimes when people work hard and stay determined they don’t always end up on the wealthy side, and Death of a Salesman displays just that. Willy worked hard all his life and was determined to provide for his family. After a few years of working hard however, he starts to run into some economic struggles. In the beginning of the play wee see Willy’s sons, Biff and Happy, on the same path as their father.

However, in “The Jazz Singer,” the 13-year-old Jackie Robbin has not been stopped by his family duty in getting what he wants – singing Jazz. Family duty is present in the movie when Jackie struggles to decide to sing at his Broadway show or to sing at the Yom Kippur service as his father is in deathbed. On the one hand, Jackie seems totally Americanized: when he runs away from home, changes his name, confronts his father after seeing him again, and asserts that his career comes before everything. All these make him seem strong-willed in pursuing his American dream. On the other, Jackie has moments of compromise: towards the end of the movie Jackie chooses family duty over his career, singing the religious song in his father’s place.

My fight against Big Tobacco began when I was in 8th grade, and got involved in my cities Clean-Air initiative. Coming from a small town in the Northwest corner of Missouri, it 's always been extremely rough to gain any community support for tobacco control. After my experiences with Clean-Air Smithville, it became evident to me that tobacco addiction is a huge problem in our society and it was up to me to help combat that. My family and I have been greatly affected by this issue with the loss of my grandfather, to lung cancer, because of his life of cigarette smoking. Serving as the Youth Co-chair of our community coalition, I 've gotten many opportunities to educate my community and myself about why tobacco policy is important to us.

Negroes kept waiting for their rights and never received them. However Thomas Jefferson did write “ that all men are created equal...”:“Five Score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. But 100 years later, the Negro still is not free.” ( King, para.

When William Lloyd Garrison’s father left him, no one, not even Garrison himself had the confidence to do anything great with his life. When Garrison (1805-1879) is related to the Romanticism era. The Romanticism era is a movement in the arts and literature that originated in the late 18th century, emphasizing inspiration, subjectivity, and the primacy of the individual (Webster). His childhood, along with his very stern personality, and his opinion towards slavery greatly influenced the writing of The Liberator. Every boy needs a father figure in his life.

I remember when I was on the rooftop with my dad and my older cousin, as we seen little fires growing from different spots, but luckily my dad and my cousin put a stop to it. All in all, comparing Sam’s culture shock experience to my culture shock experience, we were both surprised by how the locals live. Sam was shocked that the telephone could speak Arabic and I was shocked that young children could buy liquor. Having the experience of going through a feeling of culture shock can be good for most people, since they can be experiencing the best things that life has to offer, similar to Sam’s experience of coming to America. Sam’s experience had helped him to become
