american dream (death of a salesman)

The American Dream What is the American dream? I decided to ask a few people as to what they thought it was. One person told me that the American dream was to be rich. Another person told me it was having a perfect family situation. The last person believed the American dream was to be able to do absolutely nothing. Whether it is a family working together towards one common goal, or a single woman …

…However, I might suggest, that for some the odds are nearly impossible to overcome as with Willy Loman. There are a lot of people out there that have to work three times as hard to receive the kind of things others take for granted. And there are those that may work just as hard as hard as any, but are destined to never get as far as the ceiling that America has put on them.
