The American Dream Failure

The “American Dream”, is the belief that anyone can become successful or wealthy with hard work and dedication. This idea was first used by James Truslow Adams. Generally, when people think or talk about “The American Dream” they normal mention a job, family, wealth, and success. It is almost certain that someone will not think or talk about failure. Failure is something that people stray away from. This is normal because everyone wants to succeed in life. Although people hope for success, failure happens from time to time. This is the unfortunate truth, but reality of the American dream. Arthur Miller challenges this in “Death of a Salesman” In “Death of a Salesman” the play is a perfect example of the American Dream and failure.
