We Beat The Street

All in all, do not give up dream before we put our effort in it since nurture is more important than nature.

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.

A dream is something that someone should strive to do to make themselves a better person and provide for themselves, not to look good for other people. Being that the dream is categorized this way, some people may not be able to achieve it. Not every citizen has the ability to make a lump sum of money and be able to afford material things. When a citizen realizes this they feel like a failure because

The theme of the book, We Beat the Streets, spins around collaboration and determination. The three characters, Sampson, Rameck, and George experienced childhood in a unpleasant neighborhood in Newark, New Jersey. Even at a young age they were confronted with risks. Some of these risks included prisons, gangs, and drugs. They needed to choose at a young age to stick together and make it out of the ruined neighborhood they grew up in.

“It's great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn't need a shoulder? What if they need the arms or something like that? You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things,”. Children mature as they grow older. Manifestations of maturity include; overcoming adversities, perseverance, and making decisions that positively impact one’s future.

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.

“I never dreamed about success, I worked for it.” Estee Lauder. This quote really sums up the reason we shouldn’t dream because dreams make us believe in things that won’t ever happen unless a person actually goes out tries to accomplish what they want to do in life. In addition sometimes when people try to accomplish their dreams it leads to terrible outcomes such as the Great Leap Forward, The 5 Year Plans, and the Holocaust as some examples.Also, it results in many people overestimate what they can do which leads to terrible outcomes.This all shows often when people try to dream it often leads to outcomes that very undesirable.

Is it worth it to dream? Have you ever felt so happy, you fall asleep and you're in this wonderful place with all these bright colors and soft music where nothing bad happens…? You are suddenly protected by this small bubble that surrounds you and no one and nothing can hurt you. For just a moment, a short while you feel so alive, until... you wake up and it all goes away sometimes you can remember and sometimes not. When you wake up and realize it was all a dream sometimes it's a good thing but most of the time you just feel alone and abandoned.

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.

Everyone goes through a tough time on whether dreaming big or being realistic. I believe that being realistic is better because you set goals and accomplish them without being disappointed in yourself.

Just as we can compare two parts of a rock to one another, we can also compare two literary texts with the same author. When we look closely to the two texts, we realize that they can look to be completely different and also have numerous similarities. Both of these texts contribute to exemplifying the same issues in different ways, leaving readers with both the good and bad aspects of striving for what you believe in. We can see now that in life we will be put through obstacles that in order to become a stronger person we will have to move one foot in front of the other to get over them. Whether it is a figurative obstacle or a physical one, we will have to believe in ourselves and what we are capable of accomplishing if we try our best. Though, there are possibilities taking risks will not turn out the way we would like them to; everything is worth it in the end. Patel once said, “Everything will be all right in the end. If it's not all right, it is not yet the end.” This leaves readers with several questions. Will we continue to keep dreaming to achieve, like the character in The Crown, or will we progressively strive through all of our problems knowing that we will not like the outcome, such as the girl in The Selection? Is it worth obtaining when the dreams we wish to

Everyone thought she would be awful, but she got on stage and blew the public's mind with her stunning singing voice. Her dream was to be a famous singer and she did get to be a famous singer since she went to try out and showed the public what she inherited.

The time and work you put into a dream that has no chance of coming true is time truly wasted, the time could be used towards other things.
