When they wrote it they added that ""All man are created equal and that they are all endowed with certain unalienable rights, among whih are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." This was the original American dream before it was warped by the people of the 1920's. • <http://www.ovtg.de/3_arbeit/englisch/gatsby/dream.html>

  8. HOW IS THE AMERICAN DREAM TODAY DIFFERENT THAN IN THE 1920S? • The American Dream isn't any different, but the way to achieve it is. Back then, it was work ethic and labor, whereas now, people except things to be given to them without earning it.
