"Hmm, is the American Dream really not what everyone thinks it is?" 2. "Could the American dream be different for different people?" 3. "Why would the book say the American Dream might be a lie?" 4. "My parents always talk about the American Dream—wonder what they’ll think about this." 5. "What was the American Dream supposed to be in the first place?" 6. "Wonder if my idea of success is the same as the 'American Dream' the book is questioning." 7. "If the American Dream isn't real, then what are we all working so hard for?" 8. "This could be a cool topic for a social studies debate." 9. "Does this mean that things need to change in America?" 10. "Maybe famous people who ‘made it’ are just exceptions, and it's not possible for everyone." 11. "Are other countries better at giving people the chance to succeed than America?" 12. "Should I talk to my teacher about this for my next book report?" 13. "Does the American Dream apply to kids my age, or is it just for adults?" 14.

I need to look that up. 2. Why does it make rich and poor people further apart? 3. It's upsetting to think that Black people are having a harder time because of this... But why specifically them? 4. I wonder what kind of things make this problem worse. 5. It seems serious if they're saying we need to fix these "systemic issues." What does "systemic" mean, anyway? 6. Are there other groups of people who are also affected by this problem? 7. How come I've never noticed this divide they're talking about? Or have I? 8. Could this be why my friend's family is struggling even though they work all the time? 9. Maybe I should ask my social studies teacher about this. 10. I bet this is something we should talk about more so everyone understands and can do something to help. Wed, 06 Mar 2024 20:23:37 -0500
