.... explain to me exactly what the "American Dream" is?
I guess the best way to say what the "American Dream" is this:
We all want to live free. We don't want to be oppressed for our beliefs, or anything else about us. That's what the constitution was written for. OBVIOUSLY, there were a few things they were wrong on, but they got the general idea right. The American Dream is the reality that you CAN come to a place and be free, and be rich, and be happy.
Help me out here, Yanks, Rebs, and Surfers. Expand on this.
Read "Of Mice And Men" by Steinbeck- its all about the American Dream.
The freedom to pursue happiness.

It's my dream to just exist. I'm doing that, so I'm happy.
The American dream appears to be either monetary or commercial. Maybe it isn't. Maybe it's just freedom, which you already have before coming to America. However if it ends up to be something utilitarian, I would be really surprised.
Which is not to say I have negative associations with America, just 'the American dream' :D
Havent you studied this book at all? Look at the dream they have for the future- for freedom and a fair existance. The ending just goes to show the fragility of all dreams.
'Twas a joke. I know the point of the story.
The American Dream is to kill your boss.
Uh... something about a wife, two kids, a house, two cars, and a white picket fence.
Basically, the opportunity to work hard and have it pay off.
I've heard the same thing. Also, a pool.

The American dream is that any penniless nobody can make it big with an idea and some hard work. Capitalism at its finest.

Child! What is our national goal? Speak up!
And its deconstruction is that you step on a great deal of faces in the process.

To have a family, go to work everyday, and be broke. That about sums it up.
Mr. Graves, the topic is about the "American Dream". Not the "American Reality".
