While this course reading was intriguing, I don’t believe it has affected my definition of the American Dream in the least. David Kamp discusses the general perception of the American Dream throughout our nation’s history. I believe the definition has differed in history simply because many believe it to mean being rich and famous instead of my definition is the ability to work hard and succeed in life. Of course, the dream is connected to my life and actually involved in all our lives as Americans. We all have the equal opportunity to be successful and prosper in society, because we live in the land of the free. This line of questioning does seem to have me feeling patriotic and regardless how some might view our country, it is pretty great.
