American Dream

I really didn't like the American's Story poem. It was a lot of complaining and used a lot of comparisons between things that aren't facts. If you're gonna write about real problems at least give some real comparisons. The writer had years and information and used a sophisticated language so clearly they're educated and wow this is weird like do I say the writer or Ms Lamphier?... okay back on topic. If you have the money to educate yourself to write this well and happened to have the time to get the education, look up the numbers, and write this, couldn't that time and money have been spent helping these people? And the thing about the government taking things away is a problem. People an barely work for enough for themselves and their families and now they have to work to feed people they don't even know. The American dream isn't happiness. It's the pursuit of happiness. You are not guaranteed happiness but you can chase it until you catch it or die trying. The sooner you realize nobody cares, you learn to work and get things done yourself and maybe that's what people need. Maybe no help should be given so it's do or die.

  2. It was spot on of you to clarify the American Dream. I felt as if I understood it a lot better.
