American dream. It is asserted that “all men were created equal” with everyone having the right to liberty, life and equal chances in life. In addition, is apparent that the American Dream has been the core guide of Americans and their young ones as they endeavour to rise and transcend barriers in their social and economic lives. This is even more elaborate in the history of America citing the fact that the American Dream acts as the national ethos. Consequentially, the American dream is…

has interested me for as long as I can remember. What do they mean and where do they come from? I was always fascinated by these movies that played in our heads while we are sleeping and wondered how people with physical and mental disorders dream, and if they dream differently.

he dreamed a dream, and he came unto his brothers and told them his dream, and he said unto them, I dreamed a dream, and behold we were all binding sheaves in the field, and my sheaf rose and placed itself upon the ground and your sheaves surrounded it and bowed down to it. 11 And his brethren answered him and said unto him, What meaneth this dream that thou didst dream? Dost thou imagine in thy heart to reign or rule over us? 12 And he still came, and told the thing to his father Jacob, and…

In the poem “Europe and America”, David Ignatow explains how…

Killer dolls. Everyone probably dreams of them in their lifetime, especially after the infamous “Chucky” film, or finds them somewhat eerie. I however, have always loved dolls, especially barbies. I didn’t brush their hair or dress them up, or have them ride around my house in Barbie’s pink mustang convertible. Instead, I loved creating and playing stories with barbies, stories involving dragons, princes and princesses, kings and queens, and knights and villains. These stories often contained…
