Dreams Interview Options

[Eryi]

I need to interview different people for my english homework.
There are 8 questions, it has something to do with dreams.
Your answers are just your opinions, I won't be arguing over it.

1) Are situations faded no matter what, or do you belive your actions can change the course of your life? What are you other considerations?

2) What does the phrase "American Dream mean to you?

3) What are the contrasts between dreams and realities? What contrast is there between the American Dream and American Reality? To what extent has the American Dream been realized?

4) How has the American Dream changed over time?

5) How do we develop our definitions of success? Are definitions of happiness the same?

6) Why does happiness seem to be so elusive for so many people? Why do people cling onto dreams? Why do people let go of them?

7) How should the conflict between dreams and responsibility be solved?

8) What influences a person's character? How does one's character influence the perception of his or her dream and it's attainment?

If you were wondering, I am a 9th grader.
If you actually take your time to answer these it is very much appreciated.
Thank you.

This is due 11/07/05 @ 9:00 morning - 2:15 afternoon.

1. Of course my actions can change my life. Sorry, I dont understand the 2nd part.

2. It means to be an American, but not being judged by anything else but my character and resume.

3. Dream is something you hope for. Reality is what you are stuck with. American reality = White america. It has been realized for some, while not others.

4. It changed from just wanting freedom to being completely equal in all aspects of life.

5. Success to me is being content with your life. Happiness is just the feeling of success.

6. Some people can not handle the hard trip of reality. People want to have dreams because they want to be happy and their dreams give them just that.

7. The only way to resolve the problem is if everyone realizes what is right and what they need to do and step up to the plate and face adversity but only if they conquere it is how one's dreams are accomplished.

8. Everything and anything influences a person's character. What one is use to or how one perceives life influence their dreams.
