Blog Post Assignment 7: The So-Called American Dream

The term "American Dream" has come to mean both less and more than the sum of its words. For some, the simple pursuit of the Dream has lead to excesses. Others see it as unattainable. For the few who have reached the goal, this shining beacon has meant little but disappointment. For this blog post, answer these questions: What is the American Dream? Why is the concept of the American Dream important? What is your dream? In addition, include a picture in your post. This post is due by Friday, April 8, 2016.
