No Title Death of a Dream
There is something magical and sometimes overpowering to the majority of mankind: It is the thing that allows people to live in mansion's with helipad's as well as underground society forced to live in the many tunnels and passageways under New York City and to beg for their meals. Although this is definitely the extreme. It is sometimes indescribably cruel and other times very gracious. This thing is the American dream. The pursuit of the American dream is as old as humankind itself. It wasn't always about the almighty dollar bill or a sports car.

The American dream should be the Americans helping Americans. Not necessarily the story as much as a character. The American dream, what is it how do we achieve it and is it really all that we imagine it to be? . But it is not the American dream that they find. Miller, Steinbeck, and Williams new what they were talking about. " Muley Graves is speaking to Tom Joad and Jim Casy.
