Everyone chases a dream at some point in life. “The Dreamer” by Junot Diaz is a heartfelt story about one exceptional woman chasing her dreams. Diaz uses his mother’s life as an example of how a person can achieve his or her dreams by having courage and self-determination. He chooses to write about her because she is his motivation to succeed. He uses her struggles to provide evidence to support his thesis that anyone can overcome challenges and achieve success. While “The Dreamer” appears geared toward an audience consisting of individuals facing adversity, the piece was first published in a women’s magazine called More in 2011 (Diaz 128).
