Using the readings from Chapter 3 in your textbook: The American Dream is Dead: Heres Where It Went, By Our Own Bootstraps, and Long Live in the American Dream, synthesize their positions. Then, drawing from your own beliefs and experience, write an essay that defends, challenges, or qualifies the claim that anyone can make it in contemporary America if he or she is willing to work hard and persevere. This essay will include the synthesis of the three readings and your perspective. Please include a reference page.
