I can relate to what your saying because I have done things that haven't went as planned and realized I had made a big mistake.

I think I can relate to the gender role stereotyping. Just because I am a girl I can't do certain things. So I could have a dream that I want to play football in the NFL, well since I am a girl my dream won't come true. I kind of relate to the psychological strain not because I have unrealized dreams but that I am scared I will not achieve them. There is still a lot of gender role stereotyping now but more in the 50s. Like Benetha wants to be a doctor and everyone thinks she can't because that is a male job. I relate with her the most because a lot of girls wanted to be something like that now and then but can't.

In my American Dream I would live in Tennessee. I would be a veternarian. A typical day would be going to work and spending time with my family and friends. I would have a lot of animals like dogs and horses.  This dream isn't a very big dream but is everything I want when I get older. I know it can easily come true.

The first author described the American Dream as being the or "fullest Stature" at which you are capable to be. So to live the American Dream you must fulfil your dreams.  The second author thinks to live the American Dream you must have a good job and make a lot of money. The author says that your profession describes who you are. One author is living to the fullest while the other is to have a good job and make a lot of money.

The first author talks about the when the American Dream first came about. He talked about the 1700s when people wanted to come to America to live the American Dream. The second author used examples of different jobs like a lawyer and a person in the fast food industry. If you were a lawyer people would think you are rich while working at McDonalds you get less respect and people know you don't make that much money. I knew what the second author was talking about more like how as a lawyer people would treat you different then if you said you worked at McDonalds.

I agreed with the first author. I got kind of lost when they started talking about the 1700s but the first paragraph made more sense. That the American Dream was living to the fullest without trampling one another. That was kind of what I said in my journal the other day.
