Prologue
Everyone has dreams; it’s a known fact. Their dreams are goals in their lives; goals that people would really like to achieve.
For example: little girls dream about being princesses and fairy tales. Little boys dream about being knights and rocket ships. Men and women dream about money, and the things they can buy with them, like homes and cars.
For me, my dream is different. It may have been possible a few years ago. In fact: that’s what life was like, but that was before all of this happened, and the world changed for the worse.
Oh, well. There’s no use in dwelling in the past. What’s done is done, and the human race can’t take it back. Not just yet, and not without a fight, anyway.
Even though it is big, my dream is not just for me, it’s for my friends, and the people living in the building, even though they don’t realize it.
Of course, that was a few years ago, before the average I.Q. went down, and people were relying on our captors to help us.
My dream is the thought of escape, and freedom. Freedom from this building and freedom from the rulers who control everyone inside of it is my goal. It may be tough, and it might be hard to do, but it’s possible that my dream will come true.
After all, anything’s been possible since I’ve got a plan…
Part I
(5:47:13 P.M.) (May 16)
I’ve got a plan. That’s the thought that kept flickering through David Knighter’s head as he stared out the window, stared down below at the weed-choked yard. The yard ended where the
A dream is to envision another life or characteristic that could be better or worse than what the person already has. In the case of most people it is a dream that is positive. People mainly are selfish dreamers who dream only about themselves but there are some who dream about the world or others such as friends and family. Two examples of these types of dreamers are Mama from the play A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry and Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech “I Have a Dream”. In Dr. King’s speech he brings up that his dream is not only for him but for others with the same problem. He is a caring dreamer, one who believes others come first then himself. Mama is also a dreamer of this sort. Her dreams are for her
Dreams, the aspiration and goal of everyone. That is why everyone is wasting their lives. Throughout this unit, we have looked at examples from both sides of this argument and in the end, it was obvious, it is not worth it to dream. While you can achieve your dream despite immense odds, it's not worth it to dream because if you blindly follow a dream you can't accomplish you can waste your life. Circumstances beyond your control can derail your dream and even if you work hard it doesn't always pay off consequently.
First of all, dreams can motivate and help egg oneself on, helping give them have purpose and fulfillment in life. Many great, well-known, famous people are successful because they chased and worked hard to reach their goals. “If you can dream it, you can do it” is what Walt Disney said.
What does it mean when you need to fulfill a dream? Every person may have a different view towards the answer to this question. Personally, I believe this means your strong impulse to follow and conquer what you feel most passionate about. In the novel, The House on Mango Street, by Sandra Cisneros ,the main character Esperanza shares her journey through life and her longing desire to leave the house she lives on Mango Street forever. Throughout the novel there are multiple themes that transpire during Esperanza's life. Although each theme shows relevance, I conclude the most compelling theme in the novel and the most apparent in today's society is the need to fulfill a dream.
For example, when my grandmother was young, she used to dream about being surrounded by a loving family. She was an orphan. She often tells me stories about how she would lie awake at night dreaming about just that. Many kids in her orphanage used to tell her that none of them were ever going to have a life like that “Why would we?” they said, “can you not see not even our parents wanted us!” Despite all the harsh words, she kept on dreaming and overcame all her obstacles and has reached her goal. Even though your goals might seem impossible, if you dream big you might get just that.
“Everyone always says that anything is possible, but some things in life just can’t be reached. Sometimes your dreams just can’t be achieved.” (Carl Johnson) All humans living in America have dreams. These could all easily be described as the American Dream. The American Dream can frequently change from time to time due to the time period. It can also change due to the age of the person at hand. Children grow up having these dreams, but who knows how long these dreams will last. Some elderly people develop new dreams or are still chasing to fulfill the dreams they’ve had since they were much younger. These dreams are all things that people want and desire to have. Some of these dreams are unrealistic and could never happen.
Dreams, for some people rather then being significant events or goals to be reached in
Dreams are scenarios your mind creates which represents who you truly are, were and are destined to be. You 're mind creates illusions that either further enhance your knowledge on what your purpose in life is or could make you fear it. Dreams are essentially part of the foundation of a persons life. Rudolfo Anaya in the novel Bless me ultima uses the concept of dreams to demonstrate the growth and the loss of innocence Antonio faces from beginning to end.
A 'Dream' can be defined in as an ideal. The American dream is to be
I found the reading "The Symbolic Language of Dreams", written by Stephens King, a very interesting story to write about. King stated a quote in his introduction saying that dreams are a useful way that help people find the nature of their problems; or, find answers to their problems in a symbolic way. The purpose of this essay is to show that dreams and imaginations were two main factors in King 's successful life. Hence, dreams and imaginations are critical factors when writing; they sure can resolve many issues and expand our thoughts in order to write better and longer books. Without passion writing good books is impossible.
Dreams lead to false hopes and are deceiving! That’s at least what some say. But throughout the dream unit we have seen and have read about achieving our dreams and not going the distance. It is worth it to dream because dreams give us hope and purpose, working hard at our dreams can have a great outcome, and Dreams can lead to more than we can imagine.
Back then, the dream was to be be able to work hard, and by doing that. you could be successful. Nowadays, however, the dream isn't as simple. A chief reason for this is the increasing gap between social classes. As the gap widens, the respective members of the classes dreams differentiate.
When I tell people what I want to do when I grow up or where I want to live, I hope that it allows them an opportunity to get to know me on a deeper level. And finally, dreams give me a sense of hope for my future. When I dream of going to college or getting my dream job, I have hope that things will be okay and that everything will work out. Unfortunately, dreams don’t always turn out too well. As we can in Of Mice And Men, dreams reveal who we are and give us hope
Dreams are worth dreaming. They give people goals and make them work hard to achieve something they want. Many famous and inspiring people we know today wouldn’t be who they are if they hadn’t chased their dreams. For example, Martin Luther King Jr.. He had a vision that race would not affect how people were treated. He opened the eyes of many people and took part in many movements until he finally achieved his dream, and now today, most colored people have the same respect as white people do. The Declaration of Independence is another example. Everyone who signed that document had a dream that they would be independent from Britain. They all fought in a war together and argued together, and in the end they won, and changed our society to
Dreams and ambitions are important in one’s life and contribute to increased motivation. Dreams can only become a reality if attainable goals are set. Once upon a time passing high school was a dream and after putting the work and effort towards my realistic goal, this dream has become a reality. In A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, dreams are important, however, with poor planning and unrealistic goals, obstacles are inevitable. Personally, I believe dreams should express all positive attributes about a person and who they want to be.
