In my second paragraph I will discuss the simalrities that each family had in both plays and discuss how they both lived the same and basically had the same mind frame on being that they both wanted to be rich quick and that they felt the American dream was so easy to acheive you just had to find it. Third Paragraph I will contrast both families and explain why they were different in some cases, because of their own social status such as living in the South compared to the North and being African American then from being white and working class. In My fourth paragraph I will talk about why both families failed in acheiving the American Dream and discuss if the American Dream is easy to come by or does it take time and needs to be set up from generation to generation. Conclude everything, repeat my thesis statement and view my opinion on the American Dream and How I feel it can be reached.
