America And Aspen : An Opportunity For All Young Women

The American family is modeled as being happy, calming, and cheerful but for many it is the opposite of that In the novel, Until They Bring the Streetcars Back, by Stanley Gordon, he doesn't romanticize and make the characters life beautiful and perfect. He chooses to give the characters major difficulties in their lives that set them back. Based in St.Paul, Minnesota in the late 40's and early 50's, the difficulties the main teenage characters go through our different then what teenagers go through today. Cal deals with his Fathers disconnection with him. Steve is dealing with always feeling pitied and guilty. But they don't compare to the hardship Gretchen is going through in her household. These characters go through many problems in the book but somehow find a way to relieve their pain.

The American is a new man who is neither a European, nor his direct descendant. He is a strange mix of blood which cannot be found in any other country. The American is described as a person whose grandfather was an Englishman, his mother was Dutch and who has married a Frenchwoman. The American is a person who has left behind all his ancient manners and prejudices, and has received new ones from the mode of life he has embraced, the rank he holds and the government he obeys. A person becomes an American after being received in the broad lap of the great Alma Mater, and he becomes melted down into the new race of men whose posterity and efforts could transform the world in the days to come.

In the book I have just started reading, The Selection, my inference is that there will be many characters throughout the book, but from the characters I’ve met so far, my favorite is America who is the main character. I like her because she is selfless and smart. She lives with her family, which includes her parents, her brother Gerad, and her sister May. The town of Illéa where they live, is a very poor country where everyone struggles with daily life things. America's family lives in a small house where meals are small and clothing is little. Her father works as an artist, her mother and America are a show act- her mother plays the piano while America sings. I admire America because she is so generous and caring for her family as if she

Competition is the process of competing for a prize or advantage. Usually, marriage and competition are, complete opposites. But, in this castle everything about them are considered the same. The Heir (Kiera Cass), is about a young girl named Eadlyn. She is forced to go through a Selection that she doesn’t want to do. This means that she will have 35 suitors ( young princes), at the castle who will do anything to win over her heart, all to be the King and Queen of Illea. The Heir is a quality book in most of the elements chosen. In The Heir, Kiera Cass uses characterization and irony to show a quality plot and resolution to develop a disappointing ending.

Women didn’t have it very easy on the Oregon Trial. They had many chores/jobs they had to get done. And those jobs were no walk in the park. They were hard, laborious, and dirty jobs. They were also often “handed” these jobs. Women were often taken granted for. In the men’s minds, they were trivial, but that was far from true. If women hadn’t gone on the Oregon Trail, it probably wouldn’t have gotten that far. Women and girls play a big rule in Women and girls had to adjust to very rough conditions.

Unlike her brothers, it takes Nahid a longer time to adjust to the American culture. From an early age, Nahid refuses to accept the traditional mores expected of her as a young Iranian women.

Instead of being pressured into marrying, she negotiates with her father to pursue her studies in America.

But Nahid has something else in mind. She meets Howie, a Jewish-American who she falls in love with,

In the story “O Pioneers!” by Willa Cather presents a young intelligent woman who had an American dream. Alexandra Bergson is a perfect model of emotional strength, strong-will and courage. She not only motivated herself but she always had a drive to encourage others to never give up on their dream. Building up the land, having more patience and passion than men, and self-sacrifice were some conditions Alexandra Bergson faced as a young woman. Overall, all of the obstacles she overcame granted her to live an American Dream she had planned to live all her life.

As Ashoke settled in the United States with his new wife, Ashima, as first-generation immigrants and started their own family, Ashoke insisted to her wife the life that America can offer to their children, from sufficient education and multiple possibility of a better future than a life in India. Ashoke’s principle towards life proves the conceptualized idea of America’s supremacy in different sociocultural aspects that again places the Asian Americans in the margin of the culture paradigm. Racism is another portion of the marginalization that is displayed in Nair’s film. A scene from the movie exhibits the perception of some Americans

At most times, the American Dream resembles an ideological puzzle more than a fully realizable image. Within the confines of her fantastical, theatrical world Lorraine Hansberry attempts to fit a few of these pieces together and, in the process, ends up showing exactly how everything doesn't just snap-together all nicely. The problems in her play, A Raisin In The Sun, deal primarily with the basic nature of humans and their respected struggle's to "make it" in America.

Each character in the novel has their own interpretation of the ‘American Dream – the pursuit of happiness’ as they all lack happiness due to the

One of the many examples shown in the book is, even though she had someone she loved and was planning to marry, she entered the Selection in hopes that she could bring her family out of living poverty. America's loyalty and dedication was not only limited to her family but also extended to defending people who were mistreated, which shows later on in the storyline, for example when she announced to the world that she thought that the Caste System should be eliminated. This incident is a clear insight of America's dedication to doing good.

Illéa is a newly born country with little progress from previous war and destruction. This small country, as a way to help bring alliances with more powerful countries, marries off the princesses of the royal family. The princes are to marry from the population, which brings about the Selection. Both of these actions are meant to bring unity Illéa with itself and countries surrounding it. America realizes this when her mother is reading the letter inviting her to enter the Selection. “I think the Selection was meant to draw us together and remind everyone that Illéa itself was born out of next to nothing (7).”

America is my favorite character because she is brave, courageous, hard-headed, and kind. America is a sixteen-year-old girl who is super smart and a great musician.
