Exceeding a Goal‚ Achieving a Dream Looking back on my younger years‚ I have often wondered what I would truly be able to accomplish as an adult‚ and how I would achieve those endeavors.

I Saw a Reversed World Dreams Many people are fascinated by dreams and dream interpretation. Some even believe that dreams contain important tips for life and can help us solve our problems.

who come quickly to my mind whenever I hear or see images of American patriotism are John Steinbeck and Hunter S. Thompson. As different as these two men are‚ their writing is similar in that the American Dream constantly fails their characters.
