Death Of A Salesman - "The American Dream: What It Means To Me"
<view this essay>.... was born in this country, I do not share this "dream" so many people share. I love my country, I think it is one of the better places to live in the world but I do not believe this country can fulfill my dreams. My dreams consist of spending time with my family, maintaining self-contentment, stopping to smell the roses and taking long walks in the rain. I can do those things in many countries, America is not the only one. I wish more people in America would have these type of dreams.

Comparison Of Book And Movie "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"
<view this essay>.... to movie. His past is a vital piece of information
contributing to the mood and understanding of the story. In the movie,
Bromden is nothing more than a crazy Indian who doesn't want to talk so
pretends to be deaf and dumb. Much of the understanding and respect is
lost in the transition between book and movie. In the book, Bromden has
flashbacks to his childhood, lighting on significant points in his
childhood. His background is never even brushed upon in the movie. Of
course it would have been nearly impossible to tell of Bromdens life in a
movie, much less show the world from his point of view as in the book.
Bromden is still a very interesting characte .....

hearing my name. I do carvings with wood and I made little figures of Jem

to begin a friendship but again it was destroyed by my father who filled
the tree hole with cement. I have been trapped all my life. I consider the
walls to be my friends. I saw them hour after hour. I wish you people
wouldn't be afraid. Rumours start and that can really hurt a person if you
here something second hand and it isn't the truth. I wish people wouldn't
be afraid and give me a chance. I want friends just like everybody else
and freedom but that was taken away from m .....
