American Dream Or A Pipe Dream
It has changed over the years. The original American vision was one with the fresh start, new beginnings, and boundless opportunities. It was a green virgin land, to paraphrase F. Scott Fitzgerald’s characterization at the end in the Great Gatsby, that excellent cautionary tale about success and its pursuit within the United States, and held the promise of self-determination. Nowadays, the American Dream may possibly merely mean keeping your head above the economic tidewaters.
