The expression “The American Dream” is a frequently used expression. The content of the expression is that in the USA everyone can achieve their goals and reach the top if they work hard enough. There have been periods of time in history where large groups of immigrants have come to the country and people still come in order to achieve the American Dream. The immigrants dream of individual freedom with the content of freedom as mentioned above. The negative aspect of “The American Dream” was that there was high competition in USA because everyone wants to succeed. While many immigrants who settle improve their situation and accomplish their goals, there are also people who come to America and end up struggling for a living.
In this sample paragraph I tried to have a brief explanation about “The American Dream” to understand what it is all about, and to make a thesis. This could have been a introduction to an essay, since I argue for and against the American Dream and I am talking about positive and negative aspects. So the technique I tried to use is simile. The technique impacts the audience in the way it makes you think about why people left the place they call home and everyone they knew, to go to a place where they got a new opportunity to build a new life and success. The last part about becoming successful is not something everyone will achieve so going over the sea and leave all safe and familiar was a risk to take and I was no guarantee for success.
