He argued that social development studies showed changes in their social behaviors and their interactions once in their new environment. Thus, he concluded that the new society was uniquely America. He has a very valid argument, but I believe he could have maintained the strength of his argument while also including the fact that the American people coming from British roots, the Puritans, the Royalist elites, the North Midlanders of England and the North British and Irish were still unique as a sub-culture melded together by the choice for religious and economic freedom. The pursuit to own land and accumulate wealth, and not be under the rule of the crown was first and foremost in the early colonists minds.

Anna Lacy AP Language and Composition; p6 Mrs. McFeely 22 March 2013 The Neon Sign A truly American Audience seeks literature that sparks the human- and specifically American- principles upon which the country was initially built. Ayn Rand is significant to an American Audience for this reason. She brings together the values of egoism, Capitalism, individualism, romantic realism and logic- the components of her philosophy, Objectivism, in her philosophically and metaphysically educational literary works. She enlightens, or reminds, the public about the means to achieve true and genuine happiness by reaching the best possible version of themselves. Rand is to be considered an American hero, thus extremely influential to any audience member she reaches, based on the practical American values she revives in her work.

If in order to become an American, one must be brought up with one ethnicity, not two. This is how the narrator viewed the American identity as. Race and ethnicity takes into part as the factors that led to the exclusion in this text. The narrator of this text feels like she is being excluded from the American society simply because she is part of more than one ethnicity. Just like on page 230, she stated, “As my life began in my father’s country it may end in my mother’s.” She had to decide if the way to defined the American identity was having the option to choose what one wishes.

People think that the American Dream has changed and/or doesn't exist is also because of reasons like inequailty; many believe that the American Dream will never come true with there still being inequality in our nation but inequality will never stop and there is no way to stop it.

Some people don't even know what the American Dream is to try and have
