Journal 13

Today’s American Dream is a lot different than it was twenty years ago and especially fifty to hundred years ago.   I really do not know what the typical “American Dream” is because it can vary from person to person.  I am going to give my opinion on what I think the American dream is.
The American Dream is having a good life.  I think that most people think that the American Dream is having plenty of money, a big house, a nice car, and a beautiful family.  This may not be the typical dream of some people and there may be more things that are on the list, but I think this is what most people see it as.  People want to have money galore.  People get caught up in saying that if they have money they will be happy.  That is true to an extent, because money can get you a few things that will make you happy, but if that is all you care about, it will make your life miserable.  I think having a family is definitely the most important.  If you have a family that is beautiful, loving, and nice than I think that will make you the most happy.  The American Dream is different for a lot of people, but this in my opinion is the most popular.
For me, it is kind of hard to describe the American Dream.  I am a kid and I do not have all the privileges an adult has, but there are some things that every kid wants that is my age.  I think that most kids want a car, that can get them out of the house.  As long as they can leave whenever they want I think most kids are happy.  Having a loving family, I think is what I would include, and the last thing is having a little money to spend for yourself.  Not relying on your parents is a big deal, and if you can buy things with your money, that can make you happy.
