My opinion about the American Dream 🌼

As James Truslow Adams said in 1931, the American Dream represent a dream which everyone has the equal right and opportunity to realize their goals, achieve the happiness, and become successful. 💖💖💖However, in my perspective, this pursuit of self-accomplishment will make people pay too much attention on themselves, and it may cause people to lack the ability of listening and understanding others. In another words, the American Dream will change people in society into isolated islands, and make the gap between each other wider and wider.💣💣 No sympathy, no caring, no understanding……. People will hard to feel any emotional connections about others!!! 😱The whole world will be filled with indifferent people and selfish guys……😔

The American Dream！

My Personal Experience🌼

When I was 16, I went to a high school which is full of outstanding students from my hometown. All my classmates were diligent, hardworking and competitive. 👍👍👍We all had a dream to be admitted to a good university, so we worked hard 24/7, and participated activities a lot.😀😀 However, we were so devoted to our own dream that we were not willing to “waste” our time to help others.💔💔💔

For example, I once had a math problem, and I asked my desk mate for help. 💨💨

She was doing the same math homework at that time, but she just covered her answer with her hand and refused me with an excuse like she was unsure about her answer. I was very sad at that time…… 😔😔😔It may be because I was a competitor for her, or she thought it didn’t worth wasting her time to teach me. No matter what the reason is, the pursuit of self-accomplishment will definitely lead to competition and exclusive behavior.  People will stay away from others, and gradually become selfish and indifferent.  😭💣

Here is an Example🌼



In the beginning of the movie Joker, the main character Arthur is on a bus going home. As a comedian, he is making funny face at the little boy in front of him to make him laugh.😀😀 🌞However, when the boy’s mother turns around to see who is playing with her son and she sees Arthur, she immediately cold her face and requires him “stop bothering my son”.💔💔💔 At this scene we can see that, on the one hand, the woman doesn’t trust a stranger like Arthur; 😔on the other hand, the woman doesn’t want any social interaction with others. 💣This vigilance and exclusion of social interaction reflect people’s isolation and indifference towards others. Due to the American Dream which advocates self-accomplishment and competition, people will become more and more selfish and cold-blood than the woman in the movie.😭😭

        The Character Analysis Connects the American Dream             Alisa's   Blog !!!!!!!!!        Hi, class! Do you remember what I said about the American dream? Today I'm going to connect it with The Great Gatsby . I think Tom is the most memorable person for me. Let's see what kind of person Tom is in The Great Gatsby.👇👇👇👇👇           Tom  is an Old Money who has a high statu s in the society.💰💰💰 He got married with Daisy, and they have a daughter👨‍👩‍👧. However, he cheated on Daisy because he has a mistress . The common thing between his mistresses is that they are both the poor . Tom is a self-absorbed person and  believes in basic inequalities of people based on birth. He  looks down on the poor, even the New Money.       As I mentioned in the Part 1, I think the American Dream shows that everyone wants to have a good family and be  😃 😀 😄 , but only few of rich people can achieve that. The rich people believe that the status is base

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 Watch out 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 Your follow-up is coming Again, welcome to my site！💆💆💆💆💆💆💆💆💆💆💆💆💆💆💆 Let me introduce some 👦👧👦👧👦👧 to u guys.................. 👩------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 👩  Daisy： (nice face~~~) In fact, in the Great Gatsby story, Daisy is the embodiment of the American dream . In other words, she is the dream pursued by the middle and lower classes represented by Gatsby. Daisy was born in an upper-class family. She only has a sense of dependence on the material . She is selfish in feelings. The person she loves is h erself (only herself ???, DON'T USE THIS WORD, lol👎👎👎) Her beauty is her best tool, a tool used to induce others. She is a beautiful but fickle woman herself, an introverted and boring person. Daisy's spiritual world is driven by money . She believes that money makes everything better and even more beautiful . 👨-------

Hi, this is Lynn!  In   the Great Gatsby ,  Daisy is the most  mysterious  and  complicated  character. Just as Daisy’s name, her appearance is as beautiful as a flower🔅🔅.  However , her personality is so  vain and selfish😨 . She easily abandoned  Gatsby  and married with  Tom   only because Tom has money and status , though she was supposed to wait for Gatsby to come back from war.  For Daisy, her own happiness and success is established on money and fame.  Therefore, to realize her own “American Dream”, she has to choose from her  old love  and her  carefree future , and Daisy immediately selects  the latter.😞 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘 Do you remember  my definition of American dream  in the last part? As I said before, the American Dream is a dream which  advocates self-accomplishment . In order to  realize  our own success, we will  focus more on ourselves , and gradually we will  have less patience and empathy to listen to others and understand each other.
