Titel 4 The American Dream - EKSAMEN


Purpose:
To reach an understanding of some of the many ways in which it is possible to define the American Dream.

In the process of uncovering this concept, we have looked into American history to gain an understanding of:
- the dreams and values of the first settlers
- the content and importance of the Declaration of Independence
- the heritage from Martin Luther King, including his references in "I Have a Dream" to The Declaration of Independence, The Emancipation Declaration and Lincoln´s Gettysburg Address.

Having done so, we have turned our attention to different contemporary aspects of the American Dream.

Non-fiction analysis has been at the core of this topic, and special attention has been given to the analysis of speeches and their style.
