Theme= (Grade this one) American dream

Have you ever thought about your American Dream yet? Well if you haven’t thought about it yet, this is a good time for you to get a better understanding of a perfect American dream. What exactly is the American dream? The American dream is fame, family, and owning a nice dwelling.

George and Lennie often think their American dream is to own their own farm where they would live as a family. They would work together to grow their crops, and raise their little animal together; also they would look out for each other.

Curley’s wife also had her own American dream. Her American dream was that one day a man from Hollywood would marry her and take her to Hollywood with him. There she would become a showgirl or a movie star.
But unfortunately, her American dream was crushed, after she married curly.

Having a nice place to live in is also what most Americans dream of. Lennie and George often think about getting a house together. They dream about a place where they would have a fireplace and windmill. They would also like a place where they wouldn’t have to wake up to work when the weather is rough.

I, too, think of my American dream as one day having a family and a place to live, being famous, “an live of the fatta the LAN.” I plan to go to college and graduate school and work in the business world. While these are the things I dream about, and everyone has his or her own dreams. What are yours?
