Universal Studios : Hogwarts : A Dream Is A Wish Your Hearts Makes

As children we all dream, we dream about toys, monsters, castles, fairy tales and most importantly, we dream about our futures. I have always dreamed about success, but when I was younger I was not sure of what exactly success entailed. As I grew older and continued to grow physically, spiritually, and mentally I was able to discover my true aspirations and goals.

I put myself in the shoes of someone coming to America to live the American Dream and tried to imagine all of the things I would be looking forward to that would change once I arrived. It is all of the freedoms that came to my mind that I would dream to live. It is the right to choose what job or profession I will pursue. The American Dream is the ability to choose what religion, if any, I will follow. The dream is to live in a society where I choose who leads me and I have the power to vote against any representatives who do not take action on issues I find

As I stepped off of the bus, I immediately noticed a magnificent castle. The sun gleamed off of the blue, white, and gold spires that reached for the clear, blue sky. At this moment, it was evident that Magic Kingdom was not an ordinary theme park. Still in wonder over the architectural beauty of the building, my family and I joined the rest of the energetic crowd waiting to enter the park. I forgot about the summer homework assigned, the workouts that were to be completed, and the stresses of everyday life. I became a child again, preparing to enter a multitude of worlds in a tiny section of Florida.

“The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer

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

“We’re going to Disney World, we’re going to Disney World!” I chanted as more and more excitement filled inside me, as quickly as helium fills balloons. “But, I thought you said we weren’t gonna go Disney World.”

Dreams are figments of our imagination, but when you’re in a dream it can feel so real. Personally, I have awoken to high hopes I was in the Bahamas or a million dollar mansion, but I'm not. Dreams are just thoughts that can motivate us to be better. In the novels, To Kill a Mockingbird and A Raisin in the Sun, as well as the film/documentary American Denial, treatment of dreams can be synthesized to motivate people to become better, stronger, and wiser.

The American Dream is, in many ways, aptly named. Like dreams of sleep, it is not very grounded in reality, generally hard to replicate, and when remembered, it's a bit fuzzy around the edges. Still, it is ever present in American life. Every goal post set up seems to point along this path. The American education system is oriented to enable its students to succeed in America, and, ideally, succeed in reaching this ethereal American dream. After all, there is a reason it’s considered a dream and not a fantasy. Fantasies are impossible and improbable. Surely, something as attainable as the American Dream could never be called a fantasy. And yet the school bell still resembles factory chimes, as if to prepare children for such a job. Of course, we cannot fully blame the school system for attempting to equip its pupils for success in American life. But it must be asked, regarding schools or simply the nature of our society: is the American Dream taught? Or is it based in some

The American Dream is the result of possibilities and success. The term “American Dream” was been invented by James Truslow Adams in 1931: “That dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with opportunity for each according to his ability or achievement.” Another reference to the American Dream appears in the Declaration of Independence (1776). The author wrote that people are “endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” The question of the debate was: “Is the American Dream Still Alive and Well?”

To understand this presentation of the American Dream one has to first comprehend the characteristics of this Dream. The American Dream encompasses the myth of America's birth, a myth that is defined by a familiar phrase: The New World. The establishment of the United States, the growth of the country and its power in such a short time, and the sense of success felt across the nation as a result created the concept of the American Dream. America was conceived originally as a new beginning, a new world, a second chance. It was a world that contrasted with the Old World’s structure and all its corruption, social divisions, tyranny, and superficiality. On this basis is the American Dream founded. The key concepts that lie at the heart of the American

These individuals venture on a leap of faith and move into a foreign land to live out “The American Dream”. This dream is a concept that Americans have self-defined through their own struggle in forming the United States. The 2010 Disney animated film tangled depicts the life of Rapunzel, a princess who pursues an unlikely freedom in hopes of making her dream a reality, representing the American value of effort and optimism. Similar to the original settlers, Rapunzel had ambitions and through her determination, she was able to achieve the impossible.

The smell of fresh pumpkin pie rising and cooking in the oven is a smell that triggers an emotional image within my memory.
