The American Dream is in my opinion the ideals set by families
             in America to achieve goals that are generally unrealistic to achieve. An
             example would be the picture of a wealthy middle class family with two
             children, one boy and one girl, with a dog and a cat all in a nice house with
             two loving parents and they all get along with no problems whatsoever. The
             American Dream can also be interpreted as making a lot of money very

             somewhere very close, because the characters are frequently going to New
             York city and variouse places on Long Island. Also, almost a whole chapter
             takes place in an apartment in the city.
