American Dream

In this article it talks about how the pass hardship of America, and how they dream to have a comfortable lifestyle back then. A house with a nice lawn, a job and car is what they wanted, but for us we wanted more. We take things for granted now a days and its the same the what the article Rethinking The American Dream said, how we dont see what we truly have. Even though you have everything you can have, why does the average american want more than just a house, car, and job? I think that now a days anything is achievable, and if you know the right person you can get that connect to get you far. As well as education since that is so open. The American Dream auther Jon Meacham says that the dream is some what lost, and that it was up to us to restore it? But does the modern day American want to restore that dream or is it to simple now a days.
