The American Dream

      To me, the American Dream means happiness and the freedoms that come with being an American. Being able to vote, the nation's progress as a whole, equality, and the pride that comes with being an American are all things that I think are a part of the American Dream. However, many people think of the American Dream as something completely different. When they think of the American Dream, they typically think of wealth. In America's early days, immigrants came to America mainly to escape the life they were living but also with hopes of having a greater income then they did in their home country. Many people dreamt of moving to America and doing just that, so that became known as the American Dream to many people. Those are just two interpretations to the American Dream and there are many more throughout the country and the world.
