According to Ethan Lazuk, The American Dream is the idea that everyone in the United States should have an equal opportunity to achieve success. The American Dream is achieved through hard-work and sacrifice, and is open to everyone, no matter your social status or race.

The American Dream is what adds to the United States' appeal. Many immigrants come to the U.S. to flee from the poverty and unfair treatment of their country with high hopes of an easier and more successful life in the U.S.

According to Jonathan Turley, Many immigrants who emigrate to the U.S. find it very difficult to adjust to their new lifestyle. They undergo many hardships such as struggling to find a job and a place to live. They have trouble communicating with others because of the language barrier. And they also have no friends or family to help them out during such a difficult time, which leads to them being homeless.

Many immigrants also come to the United States, believing that they will be accepted, but are soon faced with the harsh reality of stereotypical people. Even though people may say stereotypes don't exist, everyone at some point, will experience being stereotyped.

Many immigrants also come to the United States in pursuit of the American Dream, without realizing how difficult it is to become a legal U.S. citizen. Many immigrants are forced to lay low and do the bare-minimum inorder to survive and provide for their families while waiting to become citizens.

The pursuit of the American Dream is actually what can lead us to lose our dreams. The american dream causes people to believe that they are capable of achieving greatness out of nothing but hardwork and prosperity. But this dream of success will not be left unscathed by reality.

the harsh reality of the world has the power to crush dreams. if you don't compromise with reality to achieve your dream, your dreams will not be accomplished.

people become so caught up in trying to achieve their dreams, that they try to pursue it at any costs, which then crushes their dreams.

The Great Gatsby strongly resonates with the topic of the American Dream. although gatsby didn't emigrate into the country to achieve the american dream, he moved to west egg, where it would be easier to achieve it. Jay Gatsby overcomes his poor, humble beginning and becomes a very wealthy, and successful man.

but gatsby doesnt achieve his main dream of winning back daisy. he did everything in hispower to win her back and he became so caught up in the act, that ultimately reality kicked in and crushed his dream
