The American Dream
The American Dream
What defines The American Dream? In this theme we have focused on the idea of The American Dream. How do Americans define this dream and in what ways has it changed since The Declaration of Independence in 1776? We have explored different descriptions and presentations of The American Dream in both fictional texts and non-fictional texts.
