Dream Big

Arnold thinks that he has no chance to become anything in his life so he kind of gives up on having his own dream. When he got his moms old workbook he thought he was doomed sense his mom didn't get the chance to amount to anything so he thought he would end up the same. I think that Arnold doesn't think dreams have that much power. I think its because his hopes and dreams have been crushed by his surroundings and he thinks that he has not a chance to have anything special. I think its good to have a dream, it gives you something to strive for but if you are always around people that do not amount to anything and are taught that you don't about to anything you won't. I think he would respond to dream big as a joke, he is in the rez and nothing can happen in there. You need other people that believe in you to become successful you can't do it on your own. If no one believes you will struggle and just give up because nobody has had a positive attitude towards your dream. We give up on our dreams because sometimes the people around us doubt us and your dream can be so big that people don't even take it serious.

American Teenager

In my opinion an American teenager likes to hang with friends, listen to music, and express themselves in their clothes. A lot of teens today are always on Facebook or other social networking sites like Twitter. They are on their phones texting, updating their status, or checking their email. technology is their thing and they are always on the the newest gadget.
