The American Dream, this is described in the song American Dream by Casting Crowns. The song talks about the kingdom we will be in one day when we leave this earth and go to heaven. It talks about how "He works and he builds with his own two hands and he pours all he has in a castle made of sand. But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in. Time will tell how long his kingdom stands". So it explains that even when times get hard we can never give up because we have a better place to go in the end if we just believe.
The American dream is described in The Great Gatsby a few times. Nicks liked the rich life in the beginning of the book so he hung out with rich people. Gatsby's dream was to also have money so he has been a bootlegger to accomplish that dream. so the dream in The Great Gatsby is to be rich.
I think the American dream is everyone living in peace and harmony. I want everyone to love, have joy, be in peace, have patients, kindness and goodness. I want people to have a faith, be gentle and have self control. I wish that was how people lived every day of their lives. No anger or sadness. This would be my American Dream.
