In 10th grade I learned and read a book call anthem and I learned a lot from that book us as Being yourself can
bring changes that’s the biggest message trying to be portrayed in the book Anthem.
I always knew that people couldn’t tell me what I could do or could not do
especially if I was capable of doing it. Would you even let anyone make all
your choices for you? You could show your independents in many ways. In Anthem
Equality 7-2521 tried to find his individuality. In
the book it say that ”why the best in me had been my sins and transgression”
meaning his creation of the light bud
was wonderful in Equality 7-2521 eyes but in the council eye it was not worth
as much. In this society the council believed that no one could think for
themselves. Equality was brought up thinking if the council did not above of
what you was doing it would be a sin and with him creating the wonderful light
bud he felt like he was worth much more then the council portrayed him to be.

Convict leasing was a system of penal labor practiced in the Southern
United States. This beginning with the emancipation of slaves at the end of the
American Civil War in 1865, peaking around 1880, and officially ending in the last state, Alabama, in 1928. Private prisons have a long history. In the
1880s private correctional organizations created the Convict Lease System,
perhaps the first privatized prison system in America. Convict leasing provided
prisoner labor to private parties, such as plantation owners and corporations
such as the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. The lessee was responsible for feeding,
clothing, and housing the prisoners. I never knew that about convict leasing and it crazy how people was treated back in the day.

Learning about oregein
policy decisions in an attempt o deal with international problems. One
presidential foreign policy decision that I know about is the most current one
in which our president Barack Obama created the National Security Strategy. This foreign
policy will end the war in Iraq responsibly;
finish the fight against the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan, secure
nuclear weapons and loose nuclear materials from terrorists. This policy can be
very historical because after all these year of fighting in Iraq this policy
can stop that. Also it can help our economy system out. If the war stops there
and in Afghanistan it might be easier to get oil and this will be two least
nations the U.S would have to worry about getting into problems with. Some
impact this policy had on other countries and region was the break factor. Meaning
the solders that had to fight was able to live their lives now. Some soldiers have been fighting for many years and lost
many of friends and family due to the war.

Many people believe that the American Dream consists of money, the latest cars, and high priced cloth. They also think that wealth is the key to success which in some cases is not true. The U.S is becoming more and more depended on money. Many people also feel money shows your life accomplishment. The American dream is often based misplaced value then your life value.
I feel that the American Dream is a Myth. You can like the American dream without the latest designer cloths and the hottest car. The American dream to me mean that you’re free and you can live your life. Meaning being able to good to the store at your free will is a blessing. Being able to walk the street without worrying about what race you is also a blessing. Being free to me is the greatest American dream. The reason why I feel this way is because people like Martin Luther King Jr fought for our freedom and people like Rosa Parks who wanted segregation to end. To me these people fought for the American dream and we are all living it. Well read some definition about the American dream there was a definition I thought fit my theory. “The American Dream can be described as a belief in freedom that allows all citizens and residents of the United States of America to achieve their goals in life through hard work.
Another source can support the theory of the American dream being a Myth is the story “The United States Is a Land of Equal Opportunity”. In this story the author Walter Williams explains how the richer stays rich and the poor stay poor. It also showed how the real is made and from his view the way to live the American dream it comes from hard word .this to me proves that not only are you living the American dream each day you are working towards a better future.
