One big theme we addressed this semester was the "American Dream." A book that we read that delt withthis theme was "The Great Gastby." In this essay Im going to write about how the American Dream was a reality or an illusion.
In the book "The GreatGatsby"theres a story of a man named James Gatsby who tries to achieve his American Dream. Which was to be wealthy, which he achieves. But he was never really happy when he was rich, untill he met up with his old lost love. Agirl named Dasiy Bucannon. Then he starts to learn that money isn't everything in the world(even though it wold be nice to have money). So i think he started to find out that there was more to the American Dream then he had thought.
For me my American Dream is to be happy, wealthy, and to be surrounded by the people I love. I would say my American Dream can be reality, because I'm alomst always surrounded by the people I love. If that were to happen then i would alwasy be happy and charish every moment. The only thing that would be an illusion wold be to be very wealthy. I think i might just be middle class wealthy. Which would be okay with me i wouldn't mind. But I'd like to be the higher part of the middle class.
I think it all comes down to what your American Dream is. Because everyones American Dream could be different, but you never know. So your American dream can be either a reality or an illusion, depending on your dream.
