American Dream(s)

American Dream(s)

Willy: He would like to have a big house with Linda and a nice, big garden someday; to be the best salesman and known in a lot of towns/places where he sells. He used to dream of Biff going to college with a scholarship to play football.

Biff: He wants to own a big house in the country and to be married to someone who is similar to his own mother; you could say he wants to be successful in life but not necessarily at the top of the food chain (middle class).

Happy: He wishes to own the business/company that he works at right now and to be the head honcho; he begs for attention. Doesn't really care about getting married and even if he did, nobody else would pay attention or mind anyways. He only cares about getting the best women (generally who are married).

Me: I have many dreams...I hope to own a bakery someday, marry a country/farm boy, live in the country on a farm with lots of animals and horses but not too far away for my future children of five to go to school. I hope to stay close to home to where my intermediate family lives and never move away from them. If I lose touch with friends during or after college, I hope to rekindle those relationships at some point. I never want to give up on my goals or live my life with regrets, I want to hit life’s curveballs fair and square.

Dreams can come true if you push yourself towards excellence and strive with your best foot forward each and every day. Work hard, and that hard work will eventually pay off.
