The American Dream is a symbol for opportunity wealth and happiness, for many immigrants its what derived them to come and stay in this country. the American Dream is just a dream a never ending illusion that confuses people into chasing this so called opportunity. the American Dream to many people involves money and power, allot of people do come to achieve this but can they be happy while in process. Money and power never balances with happiness.
An example of this comes form one the greatest literature novels; "The Great Gatsby". James Gatz , also known as Gatsby, wasn't a fictional character. To many he was considered a bootlegger, someone that exports alcohol while alcohol was illegal, while so many consider him a bootlegger, this also considered fact about the man. Gatsby was a very lonely he barely had friends and the friends he had were barely loyal to him, the cause of all this was money and his power, he was so upsest with money he eventually got corrupted and lost everything in the end.
Gatsby thought he could find happiness by finding his so called love. Even then money took that away from him.
The American Dream will always be an illusion. People will always whant more then what they got it is just the sad reality of humans. It is our nature to whant more then what they got and then some.
