In The United States, people like to ponder the belief of the American Dream. What is the American Dream? I think the American Dream is a better life--One where everyone can get along, no matter the race, gender, or age of the person in question. This elusive dream, however, is not easily found. I think people in America have to want it, really want for it to be achievable. Simply moving here isn't enough. I think the bigger hurdle though is the people here--they have good lives and are reluctant to change.
In India, there is much strife, it's much worse than it is here. It says "The answer is the same the world over: people move in the hope of a better life" (77). I don't even think most Americans considering moving, especially not out of the country. Maybe to get away from crime or poverty, a family will move across the town. Maybe to get access to a better job, a family will move 50 miles south. Maybe a career of a parent will even take a family across state lines.
But hardly ever do families move from America, and especially not to achieve better lives. There's something to ponder.
