a something similar that happened to me that happened to the Youngers in the book A Raisin in the Sun was when my dad died. My grandma wanted all the money his children were getting because she paid for "all of the expenses". She got all of his six acres of land and all of his belongings while his children were left with nothing to remember him by excepts memories. Now i'm not trying to say that we were being materialistic and wanted everything we just wanted something to remember him by. The money was for his kids the land was for his kids. So money was an issue that I had to deal with like the Youngers.

My American Dream

It seems that Author 1 (http://articles.cnn.com/2011-07-08/opinion/mills.debt.dream_1_american-dream-james-truslow-adams-puritans?_s=PM:OPINION) is talking more about equality than wealth and about American presidents seem to be on one side or the other. Author 2 (http://articles.cnn.com/2011-10-25/opinion/opinion_granderson-what-do-you-do_1_stay-at-home-moms-american-dream-mcdonald?_s=PM:OPINION) they seem to focus on wealth and how all we as Americans focus on jobs and wealth.

The first author seemed to use a lot of quotes from past presidents but the second seemed to only talk about his ideals and his personal opinions about the subject at hand.

it seems that Author 2 seemed to be more trust worthy. I agreed more with Author 1 though because he had similar ideals to me.
