3rd quarter blog post #1
The first author says that the American Dream has to do with equality, not wealth. The second author believes that the American Dream has everything to do with money. The first author believe in sharing and making sacrufuces for others. The second author believed that the American Dream is being rich. Making money for your family. The first author brings up "city upon a hill" sermon. Which I believed, talking about making sacrifices for others. In the sermon, governor Winthrop said "We must be willing to abridge ourselves of our superfluities for the supply of others' necessities," The second author basically was saying that everyone's lives revovle around money. People always ask the simple question "what do you do for a living?" Clearly stating that the American Dream is being wealthy. I knew more about what the second author was talking about. I kind of agreed with both of them. I understand making sacrifices for others, but I also understand that if you don't have money, then you don't really have anything. My answer was similar to the second author's, but the first author made me think more about it and what I had said in my answer.
