'''Writing a REVIEW'''
 
  
[[Datei:WRITING A REVIEW.docx|thumb|How to write a review]]
+
The American Dream is a core US value about equal opportunity based on the principles of the Declaration of Independence which most Americans believe in it. (Connect sentences using relative clauses, especially when the relative clauses includes information about the aspect in the main clause; Mention everything on one aspect before you turn to a new aspect. Don't jump back and forth)
 +
As a consequence (connectives!!!) many (many = countable, much= uncountable) immigrants come to the United States because they want to attain the American Dream. This means that people want (want is ALWAYS followed by an infinitive, e.g. "He wants him to go to the USA") to become rich and enjoy the freedom of a democracy.
 +
In order to achieve the dream, they must work hard for this, sacrifice a lot and take risks. (Link the sentences!!)
 +
Although the dream promises a better life, many people don’t achieve the dream because there is discrimination which results in a big gap between the  rich and the poor. The wealthy ("They"- it's not clear who "they" is. Be specific and avoid repetition. Use synonyms to achieve this)  can afford to send their kids to good schools, so they get a good education which enables them to get a well-paid job. (Explain it, so somebody who has no background knowledge can follow your train of thought, too)
 +
It seems that the American Dream is really just a dream for most American.

Here you can find cartoon which you can analyze:
  
The cartoon from the website “Wordpress.com” is divided into two parts which show a contrast in regard to the social gap in American society. (Source + topic)
+
*[https://ashpolitics.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/rosa-parks-to-barack-obama.gif Rosa Parks and Obama]
In the picture on the left hand side you can see a mother, father and their son who are all impeccably dressed. The grown man is smoking a cigar while giving his young son a huge goblet filled with jewellery on which is written “riches”.  
+
*[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b2/0b/df/b20bdf6fc22588470e8042a80942ce3c.jpg Rosa Parks and Trump]
The family in the other part of the cartoon is dressed casually and the mother is holding a crying baby while the father is giving the son an old box on which is written “poverty”. Both fathers say “This is yours, son. It’s been in the family for generations.” (Description)
+
The two families represent American society which is composed of people from different social classes. In the last couple of decades poverty amongst Americans has increased to about 20% of the population whereas the rich, who make up about 1%, get richer due to tax reforms and the fact that the American Dream is just an illusion.  
+
This US core value says that everybody can achieve everything if they only work hard (background knowledge) enough but the cartoonist points out that this social mobility doesn’t really exist in the United States. Poor people can hardly afford to send their kids to good schools, which charge high tuition, so they don’t have the education to get a good job, so they remain in the lower classes of society and often rely on welfare. This develops into a vicious circle which poor people cannot escape which is represented by the cartoon: Rich people stay rich and poor people remain poor because they don’t have the means to move upward. (Explanation)
+
The cartoonist wants to draw people’s attention to this injustice, so they do something about it by, for instance, supporting poor people in their community.

In this cartoon by Dave Granlund you can see a huge billboard on which there is the picture of Martin Luther King. King was an African- American Baptist preacher from the Deep South of the United States who became active in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. After Rosa Parks had refused to give up her seat for a white man on a segregated bus in Montgomery/Alabama in 1955, King helped to organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott which resulted in a verdict by the Supreme Court which ruled segregation on buses to be unconstitutional.
 +
This success led the Civil Rights Movement planning other forms of non-violent protest, such as sit-ins an rallies.
 +
One of the most famous rallies took place in August of 1963 when people from all walks of life marched on Washington to hear leaders of the movement speak. On that day King delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial his famous speech: “I have a dream”, in which he dreams of a world in which all Americans, no matter their ethnic or social background, can live together peacefully and equally.
 +
Granlund refers to this speech in his cartoon by writing the title on the billboard although a lonely ladder and a pot of colour show that the painter hasn’t finished yet.
 +
This unfinished state of the billboard should represent that King’s dream is indeed not finished yet- in other words, it hasn’t been achieved yet. People from minorities, including African-Americans, Hispanics, Muslims etc. still have to fight for equal opportunities in the United States. And almost every day people are faced with discrimination and racism which seems to be on the rise since President Trump’s sometimes intolerant remarks give people the impression that they can show intolerance towards other people without any serious repercussions.
 +
The cartoonist wants to remind people that King’s dream is something they should aim for, so that black and white children can finally sit peacefully together at the table of brotherhood.
