The American Dream

I believe this picture represents the American dream very well. The man in this picture is extremely happy, like all Americans strive to be. The American dream is to be completely happy and content with the life one lives. Often times, people try to attain this dream by linking it directly to the accumulation of money and possessions. They attribute happiness to success and wealth, and as a result, their actions work toward those things rather than what they are really after. However, it doesn't matter how one tries to become happy. Everyone is doing the best they can to attain the American dream: happiness.
