American Dream

The American dream is to live a life that's free. To me this expression means living a life where you're free to do waht you want, and to make your own choices in life. An example I can think of of someone pursuing the American dream is a person from another country trying to get into the United States. For them life is so unbareable where they are that they're willing to do whatever it takes to get out. It takes a great deal of pain to acheive this dream. It takes blood and sweat, tears and hardwork.
