Part 1โRoy(Huanyi)Sun--American Dream, a cruel & unfair COMPETITION!!!!
WELCOME TO ROYโs BLOGGGGGG๐
I still remembered that when I was in junior high school ๐ซ๐ซabout twelve years old, I met a friend named Eric in rocket modell
๐๐๐ club. As time๐ฐ๐ฐ passes by, we went on further communication and became good friends soon. There was plenty of money needed for engaging in this hobby, for which we were required to use high-end raw materials to do numbers of experiments and attend competitions as many as possible to accumulate experience. We also made a deal to take part in a competition named International Rocket Model Contest together, but this time I waited for him until the end of the competition and didn't๐ง๐ง see him. Finally, I learned from my parents that there was a serious gap in his father's corporate capital chain. At that night, I received a letter from him, in which he told me that his fatherโs company was ๐นbankrupt ๐นso that his father was unable to support him to pursue his dream๐ซ๐ซ. At the same time as giving up his dream, he felt sorry that he could not obey his promise and accompany with us to go further๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ญ. Actually, I am also the competitor in the game, just better than being the loser at the starting line.

The songโGodโs Planโ๐ผ๐ผ, sang by Drake in 2018๐, demonstrated how winners in the competition of American Dream โsympathyโ those โlosersโ, which was full of irony๐น๐น. In the MV
of this song, Drake gives money๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ to the poor and calls himself God, because he thinks his behavior just like what God should do. Therefore, in MV, those who received his help became enthusiastic about Drake, which become one of the main reasons of ranking No.1 in billboard for 5 consecutive weeks. At the beginning of the video, there is a sentence that โthe budget for this video was $996,631.90โ appearing on the screen, which shows off the charity that he has made to the public as an arrogant gesture from a winner. Also, in other words, the cost of the video is about a million dollars, which is equal to several years of the income๐ต๐ต from ordinary families๐ก๐ก in the society๐ฆ. The great gap between the poor and the rich presented the cruelty of the competition of American Dream. These two photos from the video form a strong contrast, which shows completely different living conditions of two classes. People in the first photo look dejected and live in a dirty and shabby environment. However, the people in the second one โ Drake and his friend in Gucci๐๐ smiled chuffing in the upscale shopping mall. What is ironic is that Drake pretends to show his kindness and warmhearted concern for the poor, but in fact, he is only using those peopleโs gratitude to him and eager for a better๐ life to achieve his own American Dream.

Some people prefer to take the American Dream just as a beautiful fantasy full of positive energy, which makes people have infinite yearning for it in their heart, while others hold a view that American Dream is like a hoax, which merely is a catalyst๐จ for peopleโs blind optimism about life. From my perspective, American Dream is equal to an unfair competition๐จ๐จ that the rich had already won. Money๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ plays a role as stimulant which speed up those rich so that they run faster and faster and get closer to the finish line. By contrast, those poor people will withdraw from the competition and even lose at the starting line, which makes American Dreams even seem to be designed only for the rich ๐๐. Thus, money can be taken as the ticket๐ for participating the competition, without wealth, people have to give up๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ญ their real dreams.
