Canterbury Tales

My character is Oxfrod Cerlic from Canterbury tales. His a man that loves learning and teaching. He doesn’t have a lot of money; he borrows money from his friends for him to be able to buy books. He rather buy books then food or clothes. He doesn’t use fancy clothes he sometimes uses clothes that peasants wear. His also very quiet, he only speaks whenever he needs too otherwise he doesn’t at all.

The American Dream

Everyone has a dream! Most of the people think about the American Dream and specially those who come from another country. It’s a new beginning to follow your dreams and be successful in life. I believe in the American dream and I want to achieve it.

            My American Dream is to be happy and do what I like to do. I want to have a good career, so I could be bale to have my own house and my own car. I want a good education so I could be successful in life. I also want to have money so I could have whatever I want. I want a healthy and happy family.

            To achieve my American dream is going to be difficult because a lot of students that finish their career, its hard for them to get a job that they study for. Theirs several reasons why it’s hard. The first important one is the economy. Like how Elena Callan stated in the article “Generation Screwed,” “I studied sociology, which was great for my brain but not great for this economy…it does feel I’m stuck in some part-time jobs.”  

            Even thought it’s hard to get a job in what you studied for, I’m not going to stop from studying. Theirs always going to be obstacles that are going to make you stop for what you’re going to but I’m going to overcome them so I could be successful. It’s not going to be easy to achieve my goals but I will try my best and I will take advantage of the opportunities I get.

            To be successful in life you have to follow and achieve the American Dream. It’s a way to be happy in life and not suffer. A lot of people come to the USA just for the American Dream and to have a better life. It’s getting harder to achieve it but you have to try your best and overcome any obstacle that come up.
