American Dream American Dream is a radical formula that became more popular than capitalism and democracy. Even though it was associated with religion at first, it became a categorical imperative over time. American Dream is a viral concept that took over the world and extended far beyond the United States (Samuel 113). Nowadays, everybody knows the concept of American Dream. This transformed the global economy and motivated writers from all over the world to address the notion of American Dream. To start the discussion on the concept of American Dream, I would like to focus on Willy, the main character of the Death of a Salesman. According to him, the American Dream is an ability to become prosperous due to never-ending charisma. To Willy, personality matters the most, and he believes that it is the key to success, not innovation or hard work. One of his goals is to make sure that his sons are popular and admired by their peers (Miller 28). Miller describes how Biff, one of Willy’s sons, made fun of his teacher and Willy was only interested in finding out if the kids liked it (28). Evidently, Willy’s view of the American Dream did not have a chance to advance. Regardless of Biff’s popularity in school, the latter was not able to get it together. Instead, he turned into a vagabond that did not have a definite goal in life (Miller 49). Moreover, Willy hindered his own career because his sales ability disappeared and never came back after that. A perfect example is Willy’s attempt to apply a charismatic approach to asking the boss for a raise that ends with Willy being fired. Another major argument defining the American Dream can be based on Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun. In this play, the author underlines the importance of dreams and describes them as one of the key factors that drive each member of the Younger family. For example, Mama wants a good home to let her children grow up in a place without rats (Hansberry 61). Walter, her husband, wants to become a businessman and get over poverty that inundates his family. Walter’s sister, Beneatha, dreams about becoming a doctor. All of them want to live the American Dream because they are tired of living in poverty and being helpless. Based on the plays, it can be concluded that American Dream provides fresh possibilities only to those who work hard and do not rely on the mere power of their personality (Zorn 221). A dream should always be there to bring happiness to those who work hard in an attempt to become successful. Living the American Dream is to be unrestricted in terms of religion, politics, and oppression. Opening yourself and your family to new possibilities is what makes the American Dream so desirable. Even though it is not easy, it is still possible. Family Legacy When defining a legacy, one may address it as something either material or non-material that was left behind by a person that passed away. Nonetheless, it may be more about sharing the things that one has learned throughout their life. This leaves values over valuables because legacy is never defined by material wealth only. Therefore, a legacy is something meaningful that a person leaves to their family and followers. This contribution should serve a great cause at all times. For instance, there are the salesmen in Glengarry Glen Ross. Their legacy is their way o
