Fitzgerald saw the American Dream as the pursuit of happiness and success through hard work, determination, and opportunity. He portrayed it as a deceptive ideal tainted by materialism, unattainable expectations, and moral decay. Fitzgerald's characters in "The Great Gatsby" embody the corruptible nature of this dream, leading to disillusionment and tragedy.
the american dream isn't what people expect it to be. ~Apex
The Puritans along with the Pilgrims and Quakers all wanted to leave England to re-establish their religious practice.The New World would bring great blessings from God to the Puritans if they dug their heels into the American soil.
I think it would be more accurate to say that the American dream has proven to have some unintended consequences.
My guess would be for peace.

"The American dream of rags to riches is a dream for a reason - it is hard to achieve; were everyone to do it, it wouldn't be a dream but would rather be reality."
Haha are you in Velandez's class?
Yes. The term "American dream" is used in many ways, but it essentially is an idea that suggests that anyone in the US can succeed through hard work and has the potential to lead a happy, successful life. This idea hasn't changes throughout time therefore has stayed the same now and then. :)
There is no single term to define what being a Native American is, nor could a set of terms define this. Being Native American is more about a spiritual understanding inside a set of complex rules that would (and does) take a lifetime to understand.
You would have to be able to define what a "true American" was or is then you would have to figure out what business it is of yours. If he is your friend, it shouldn't matter to you nor should you be in his business.
Ella Fitzgerald will be 96 on April 25th 2013 .
A nativist would define a "real" American as a native-born, white citizen from America.
