    The Oxford English Dictionary defines the “American Dream” as “the ideal that every citizen of the United States should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative.” However, this dream does not provide an equal opportunity for all “Americans.” As Central “Americans,” my parents were forced to flee from the poverty of their country and risk their lives to migrate to the U.S., in order to “achieve success and prosperity.” They had to fight to achieve this supposed “American Dream” and it is their fight that constantly pushed me to do the best I could in order to make my their sacrifice worthwhile.

    Richard Rodriguez believes that the Americanization of a bilingual child will result in their public gain. “Aria” by Richard Rodriguez is a heart-wrenching piece of writing about the full Americanization of Rodriguez resulting in his native language of Spanish being forgotten and the full submersion into the English language.
