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) i believe that my actions can change the cause of my life. the other considerations are probably the people i mix around with and the influence i have on them, or my lifestyle is at home (is that what you mean by other considerations?)

2) a dream held by many that you can achieve success or happiness if you have enough determination or courage to do so

3) dream is something that you hope will happen, but reality is something is there/real, when you determine how everything appears to you. see above for american dream i guess. american reality is what is going on in america right now.

4) it used to be how everyone wanted to be free and hoping racism would stop, now there is still a little racism around but everyone is free.

5) success is when you are motivated to achieve something and you worked hard for it without giving up. happiness is when you know you have accomplished something, and it has been successful. or the satisfication you have, cheerful and willing.

6) some people dwell on unhappiness, or always tries to find ways to be unhappy. they cling onto their dreams hoping that one day it will come true. they let go of them sometimes because their giving up and moving on or it has already came true.

7) to face reality and that not everything has to go their way, responsitbility is when you know right from wrong, and you are trustworthly.

8) his surroundings can influence his character, he himself can also influence his character, the people he mixes around with too. what he does can influence his dreams

hope that's good enough
