English Course Essay - American Dream

American Dreamin’

In the texts you've read so far from Judy Brady and Barack Obama, each has addressed some aspect of the "The American Dream" with reference to race, gender or cultural equality. 

Choose ONE article and write a detailed discussion of how the idea of the American Dream is filled with contradictions in reality.  You can use the dictionary web site www.m-w.com (or app) to look up (and help you to pronounce) words you are unfamiliar with.  This MUST be a FOCUSED discussion of ONE of the assigned readings from Week One only!

  Requirements:

1. Your essay must be 1000+ words long, and each paragraph is 5-8 sentences minimum, 12 point font, double-spaced with your name, class, paper # and a title.

3. You can do internet research but everything in this paper must be in your own words--no outside sources.

 

You MUST use MS Word documents and double-space your papers with 12 point font ONLY.  Times New Roman or Courier fonts preferred.
