American Dream Essential Questions Carousel Reflection

Task:
In class, I asked you to move between various prompts in order to reflect on what
constitutes the American Dream. For this assignment, I would like you to select one of
the prompts from the carousel, and develop your thinking further:
supporting/defending your views. You should use one of the prompts as a basis (or
start) for your response, and then detail the response with 5-8 sentences.

Prompts (Select 1):

● Someone who achieves the American Dream has…

● In order to achieve the American Dream, one should…
● What does it mean to have an American Identity?
● How has the American Dream changed over time?
● What are some obstacles to achieving the American Dream?
● Is there something that all Americans have in common? What are the most
significant differences?

Please produce writing that is clear and coherent in which the development,
organization, and style are appropriate to the task, purpose, and audience.

My Reflection:
In order to achieve the American Dream, one should work hard and be resilient.
Achieving the American Dream takes a lot of work, effort, and time. You need to be
focused and persistent through your work, and you have to have the right motives and
goals to achieve it. For example a wrong motive would be working to be rich and to
gain money. A right example is to follow your goals and inspirations in life, to do what
you love. You cannot expect to have the American Dream in a few months or a year,
what you should expect is years of hard work and dedication with lots of focus
