In the first article “Keeping the Dream Alive by Jon Meacham explains how the American Dream was something that people had to work for in order to obtain a successful life and how its still taking people awhile to actually succeed in it. By working hard and getting a good education, people have gotten to that point where they are living the American Dream. Meacham explains how most people now have actually forgotten how hard it is to achieve the American Dream and that we need to learn how to get it back.
The second article, “Rethinking the American Dream” by David Kamp, discusses the meaning behind the “American Dream”. From looking at Kamp's point of view, achieving this dream is harder that it looks. Theres a lot of people with high hopes who believe they can get that American Dream but by understanding that we can’t just have it handed down to us we have to work hard to live a better life.
These two articles have good main points. I believe that it’s true that people forget about how the American Dream first started and that now in this new generation we actually don’t notice the hardship and struggle we need face in order to obtain it.
