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.
