Is this what the “American Dream” means to you? • Opportunity • Freedom • Education • Prosperity • http://barndog2.newsvine.com/_news/2010/06/27/4570470-what-does-the-american-dream-mean-to-you
Or are these the things you think of? • Poverty • Bankruptcy • No health care • Poor • “Give up Everything.” • “In debt”
Is the “American Dream” available to every one? • The Merage Foundation http://www.meragefoundations.com/aboutus.htmlhas helped 100’s of immigrates live the “American Dream”.
Can the American Dream be achieved, or is it out of reach? Michael Oher did, but John Hipp believe it’s out of reach for many people.

Do you think these books have the American Dream in them? • Our Town • F451 • The Lone Ranger
F451 • In this story I believe that the characters are not living the American Dream. • The characters in F451 are being oppressed , and they have no freedom to move up in their social classes.
The Lone Ranger • This is another book that I think that the people are not living the American Dream. • They are living on this reservation, and can barely afford food for their children.
Our Town • Out Town think is an example of living the American Dream. • The characters in the story are living with opportunity, prosperity and freedom.
