My "American Dream"

My life has changed so much. I am now a successful OBGYN. I now live in Evansville Indiana. I live in a big beautiful home with a white picket fence and a dog. I have a loving family, a very successful husband who is a lawyer and two very well educated children. Everyday me and my husband get up and go to work to provide for our family. After work we all come in form a long day i fix the family a nice meal and most of the time have family night. Either having game night or movie night with one another. My mother and the rest of my immediate and extended family is also well taken care of they also live in very beautiful homes and live in nice neighboro hoods. My friends are also very successful at what they do and they also live in very nice homes with nice families. Achieving my dreams has made me very happy over these past years. I have a nice family, I am successful, I have hard working friends. But most importantly my family is taken care of.

"American Dream" 1

In article 1 the man is basically saying that the "American Dream" is something that is bought something that is earned. it expresses that it is something that you have to work for. Although the author also states that it is something like a burden to the Americans. He talks about paying taxes. He also says that it should be someone wealthy to represent the "American Dream". He doesn't say it in those exact words but something along those lines. In article 2 the author has many different views from the author in the first article. He thinks differently on life, liberty, and the pursitue of happiness. The first author states that the "American Dream" is the governments doings. I feel that the first authors article was the most trustworthy because really the "American Dream" is about money and who is the most powerful the most respected and the one who has earned the most out of their life. Really i don't agree with either of the authors. I fell that the "American Dream" is to being successful at what you do. Taking care of your family and loved ones. Making sure that your whole family has anything and everything they want and need and not just your immediate family but your extended one to.
