It is the idea that if we work hard and are determined that we can achieve whatever we set our minds to. Whether it is wealth, fame, family, or a successful career, we all strive to achieve it. It can be different for each one of us, but it is something that we all want to achieve. Although it is a shared goal by many people, but our past shows that it is not an easy thing to accomplish. The novel "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, the poem "Hope" by Karen Hesse and Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream Speech" all use the aspect of hope as a vital part of achieving the American Dream through their development of perspective and tone.…

    Former successful Olympian, Gail Devers, once said “Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication” (Gail Devers, Brainy Quotes). Dever’s words resonate as she inspires those who usually let obstacles keep them from chasing their dreams. As children with an overactive imagination, nothing seems out of reach. Somehow, as we grow older, we begin to notice our strengths and weaknesses and we end up letting go of our old dreams and moving on. Growing up, I fanaticized over what I would do as an adult. Those fantasies ranged from a world-famous pop star to President of the United States. Through all those times of make-believe speeches and singing into a hairbrush, one of my…
