- 794: A Dead End Dream- Death Of A S
- ... by Arthur Miller, is a play that tells the story of a traveling salesman, Willy Loman, who encounters frustration and failure as he reflects on and experiences his own life.

The reality of the American Dream is that people are capable of succeeding. Success, though, requires one to work hard and be dedicated to both his/her professional life and family life. Yet, the illusion of the Dream is ...
- 795: Ragtime
- Up until the late 1900 s, the American populace on the whole had assumed a very optimistic view of American history. Glossing over disgraceful events, emphasizing the brighter points in our history, our culture has attempted to ignore the obvious fact that we have had, and still have, our fair share of problems. In Ragtime, E.L. Doctorow unabashedly exposes some of the worst aspects of American life in our more recent history. Doctorow doesn t hold back anything, providing detailed examples of human cruelty and sacrifice, and the evolution of American society. While critiquing American society was not the sole ...

- 797: Theory of History
- ... to this day constantly being refined that people maintain the view that the highest attainment of humanity is the freedom of individuals to express themselves unhindered by any form of external repression. In 1775 thirteen American colonies revolted against their British rulers. They expressed themselves by using anarchy to be freed from the unjust treatment of the British (Brinkley 120). Living with the hardships of life in the wild, new land, the American settlers gained strength and a firm belief in the rights and liberties of the individual man. They revolted because England interfered with their trade industry, demanded unjust taxes, and sent British troops to compel obedience. In the beginning of the war the colonists fought for their individual rights. After a year of fighting they fought for independence and change in American life (Brinkley 122). Ever since the beginning of the colonies being formed, England and America had been growing apart from each other. In 1774 England was an aristocracy, ruled by men born to a ...

These were real life stories, just like the one about Ronaldo. ...
- 799: Jesus and Youths In America
- Jesus and Youths In America The family unit is one of the most cherished institutions of American society. Its function is one of philanthropy, to raise America's children in accordance with our accepted norms and various proscriptions and prescriptions. However, rising teenage pregnancy and juvenile crime seem to indicate that the American family is not doing this. Many Americans insist that a family is capable of producing a productive citizen in every instance and believe that only a traditional family can do this. So the conclusion one ... with crime than Singapore ever will be, just take a walk through the super Catholic ghettos of Buenos Aires.

Certainly poverty has created a problem to ...

- ... play sold-out at some point during the play. The characters sold out both their races and their way of life. I would say that the person who sold out the most was the Mexican-American because he sold-out both his Mexican, his American heritage and way of life. He wanted to be perfect, so when he found that the Americans and the Mexicans had their flaws he sold them out. He now has to search for a new and perfect race to identify with. (He will be searching for a while.) The Mexican- American sold out his Mexican Heritage when he said, "The problems of the Mexicans stem from one thing alone he's stupid, he is under-educated, he needs to stay in school. He needs to ...
