The american dream is a reality. Anyone has the potential tomake any amount of money they want. The possibilities are endless (the sky is the limit).
Depending on how bad you want something determines what you get. Some people get lucky and accomplish things without trying or wanting to. Poor people or minorities have a harder time getting to where they want to get. Some people have connections that introduce them to important people or show them ways to improve(mentors).
You can be anything from a drug dealer to a stock broker. Examples are Tony Montana or Bud Fox. In some cases after achieving the dream it is lost by death or it is taken. But some people could end up with happy endings if they are not too greedy.
So the american dream to be rich powerful and happy is possible but it could come at a great cost. Sometimes it might not be worth it . But if you have nothing to loose thatn follow your dreams

I think the American dream is a reality but to most of us it just ends up being an illusion. I think its because people dont strive enough to succeed in life. We dont have enough want for things, people just rather give up and settle for less.
This is sad because I think everybody has potential. But we are born into poor families and sometimes the circumstances we're in really affect our thinking. It just makes you believe that you dont have the same opportunities as wealthy people do.
Thats why in a way it is an illusion to everyone because in out mind its not possible. But theres many stories out there of people who really strive to get there lives going and become someone big. Even while coming out of a bad situation.
People accomplish their dreams in different ways. Some by working hard others illegaly. Like Gatsby in 'The Great Gatsby'.
But i think weather you make it big in life doesn't really matter. You dont need to become famous or a millionaire. What matters is that you accomplish your dreams and be happy in life.

American dream?Rios!!!
The American Dream an illution or a reality?
Based on the great gatsby my ideas are that he achieved it he was not happy. to me there is an american dreamnot everyone wants to live in poverty or middle class some actually want to strive and be worry freeand at the same time be happy. Some call it illution because they know that in there life time they will never be money rich just rich in belifs.Some can turn it into a reality and some have already done it by working hard others just by being born into wealth
for me its reality but an illution at the same time I know I might not be millionaire rich.But I will be financually stable to go take trips around the world buy anything well almost anything I want.I know I wont struggle Finasually. I'll make it in life .

Heather Ripke -- ENG 2(8) - FINAL EXAM
Men VS Women
When it comes down to this, men think of women as tiems, possesions, and property, what have you. When it comes to women, we think of guys as the boss, workers, whatever. So when it comes to 'Taming of the Shrew' they have a lot in common.
The fisrt sister, Bianca, meets a guy. She cant do much because her sister wont date or anything. So the guy that met Bianca tells this other guy to try and get Kathrine (her sister) out and about. Well they find out its lie trying to tame a bird. Really hard to do.
The guy is trying to 'tame' Kathrine while BIance is in lala land with this other guy (ha) and while Biance is on her way to marrige, Kathrine is on her way to try and tame him. Well it doesnt work and Bianca is going to get married.
Kathrine isnt allowed to the wedding and by the time its over and Biance is happy, Kathrine is tammed and is disciplined. So in the end Biance got what she wanted and Kathrine has gotten a guy ( yippy) and so they both (sisters) get along just well now.
So when it come to Men VS Women, one will always dominate the other but sometimes, the women can but in this story, the guy won this round :) and they all live happy and what have you.

The American dream is different to every person. Many discribe it as owning a home, owning a car or becoming a citizen of the United States of America. It can be an illusion or reality. For some people it is a reality because they work hard for that dream. But some don't have the same oppurtunities, because they are unfortunate. In the Great Gatsby the American drrean ment to be wealthy. Daisy dream was to be with a wealthy man, so that she could be rich. But that was just an illusion because the guy she wants is already married
