Also after his presidency, Roosevelt took a yearlong safari in Africa; later he helped map a river in the Amazon (Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, 2010). In conclusion, Theodore Roosevelt is a great example of an American Dream; he lived his life to the fullest and did what he wanted. That is what I think the American Dream is about; doing what you want to become great. I do not think you have to become a big star or be looked upon by others as great. It is something that you earn by making your own way
HEAD: Dale Earnhardt Jr. valued many things in his life one was his family. They came first before anything that’s why when his father died in that race he didn’t go to victory lane he went to his father’s side and was there when he died. The next thing he really valued was racing because it ran in this family and after his father’s death he felt close to him again even though he is dead. His education was him going through high school then going to college for two years to get his automotive degree. His dad was a big influence he really pushed him to do well in school and to not get in trouble and he learned everything about racing from his father.
It was in the early 50’s where he first began entwined with the mob. The mob was on a turning point in the early 50’s. Though he never took part in any mob activities, he still gathered money from family that did. He never did any mob dealings because he felt that if he ever needed to gain money or possessions, he would gain them for the benefit of others. “This is my personal favorite characteristic of him, and most likely the smartest decision he ever made in his life.” States my Aunt Jenny about the mobster deals that Da’dooch turns down.
Many exciting things happened to him there. He learned about true Islam and that Caucasian people are not savages. He was made a Guest of the State. He even met Prince Faisal, leader of Saudi Arabia; ironically, both would be assassinated because of political-religious reasons. After performing Hajj, which all able-bodied Muslim must do, Malcolm X took a tour of Africa for a few weeks before coming back to America.
He merely says a few things about Cash, mostly that he is his brother and so is Darl. Cash shows his kindness to Vardaman by never being angry with him. Cash finds Vardaman missing right after seeing Peabody's team run away. He also knows that Vardaman drilled holes into the coffin because he believes his mother is alive and still needs air. He even bores into Addie's face, but Cash still does not yell at him and simply mends the holes back.
It also shows how much he wanted a “father form heaven”: someone he could rely on to earn for his family and support him. Frank thinks his dead brothers won’t ever have to deal with such worries and not getting what they want. He realizes that death may have not been such a bad thing for Eugene but a way of escaping all of life’s hardships for a much more heavenly place. He even seems to be a bit jealous! This suggests that he thought death was better than life at one point.
Robber Barons People who have been considered “Captains of Industry” have also been given the title “Robber Barons”. Is there really a difference in the two? While Robber Barons have been known to take as many resources as they can from an area they are also known for giving little to those who help them become rich. Often times they come in with flowing promises of better homes and cleaner cities to entice workers to live there. However, many workers find that does not happen.
Concerning Lance’s name, I think that he wanted to reveal that a name is just a name and he has no relation to the family and doesn’t intend to either. I think he wanted to express his love for his family and friends and show his gratitude towards them for helping him through such a tough stage in his life, especially his mum. I think Lance just wanted to tell the world how happy he is now and that he survived a tough stage in his life, possibly wanting to reach out to other cancer patients to help them through their ordeal
You're not to come out until it's completely quiet and nobody is in sight, just to be safe"(Life is Beautiful). Due to Giosué listening and doing was his father told him to do he survived the Holocaust. Almost everyone knows about the Holocaust and how horrible a thing it was.

Since Gatsby has gained his wealth by bootlegging, most people don’t know how to judge him. He has the money, but lacks the
