Community Proposal

The Garfield Park Area

• The racial demographic is predominately black and slightly middle-class.
• I'm going to interview my grandmother, the principal of the local private school (Providence St. Mel), and a worker at the Garfield Park District.
• I think the representation is the violence and the bad part of the American Dream, theft, gangs, and more.  More fear and safety issues than working hard and succeeding, there's a war out here in Chiraq, Drillinois and most of the community is on the front line.

The American Dream

The American Dream
244 words

This article was based on the principle that the American Dream has attracted more immigrants because of the great freedom and many choices.  Although the first generation immigrants struggled when they first came to America, their children (second generation) are doing much better than their parents.  They are more educated, more socially diverse, have better jobs and pay, and own homes, unlike some of their parents.  The parents most likely came in the 1960s and their children grew up learning how America works.  The second generation is well kept and more on their feet than their guardians were when they first immigrated.

Although the American Dream is different for everyone, a lot of people come here to succeed in areas they couldn’t in their home lands.  America has freedom and more opportunities to expand your knowledge and to “start your family”.  Some immigrate to the USA because of the conditions in their countries, and they want to get away from them.  This article demonstrates the good side of the American Dream.  To each his own preference but people want to advance and do better in life.

The immigrants wanted better for their children so they moved to the U.S. and started a new life.  Their kids are grateful for what their parents did for them and are happy at the opportunities they’ve had because of it.  The percentage of successful second generation immigrants has risen because of the exposure to a better life style.
