Stuff, by having stuff and the disposable world we live in tells us that when the next big thing hits the shelf that we must cast away the “unwanted” and buy, buy, buy. If that’s the American Dream, then I don’t want it. Quality of life far exceed the power of objects obtained by their owner. So what exactly is the American Dream? Using Miller’s Death of a Salesman, there is a lot to be seen, the ways Willy Loman tried his best to stretch his money to cover luxurious items. The items that today are taken for granted.

    “She’s a dreamer. A doer. A thinker. She sees possibility everywhere.” - Anonymous. For the past week I’ve done a lot of thinking about the American dream and what that means to me. This semester in school we read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald which is set in the 1920’s ; the American dream back then was all about money, who could throw the biggest party, have the best clothes, drive the best car rather than morals values such as hope and the pursuit of happiness. Now, almost a century…

Many people claim that high school is the “best four years of your life” and that you “should make the best of high school”, while you “still have time.” That is absolute…
