On the bottom half answer the following questions:
Are your resolves realistic and attainable?
Are they consistent with what American culture expects of an educated young person?
On the back write ( in a lengthy paragraph or two) about your vision of the "American dream." If your American Dream is fulfilled, what will you be doing when you are Nick’s age (thirty)?.
___________________________________________
On a blank piece of copy paper (or any other creative way) create portraits of yourself as an adult who has realized the American dream. Include specifics (clothes, shoes, hair style, jewelry, house if you would like.) You can make this modern day, OR set in the 20’s.
