In other words, the yearning to be break transfer than the best and to achieve perfect governmental harmony throughout society. theorize about it though, if this were a possibility, wouldnt it have already occurred?The first book of facts seen directly acknowledging the emptiness of the American dream was the overlooked Lo troops brother, happy. Happy, although suffering from younger-brother syndrome and inadequacy of fatherly attention, proved to be the only successful family member of either the Lomans.

Willy believes the key to life and achieving the American dream is being well liked. However, his beliefs were awry(p) as well as trite, as we all saw when Bernard, who wasnt very well liked, achieved the American dream.
