Ask a surfer gal in SoCal about her life, and she might reply, \u201cLivin\u2019 the dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ask the same question to a survivalist living off the grid in Alaska or to an off-Broadway actor living in a 400-square-foot studio apartment in NYC, and they\u2019re also likely to express the same satisfaction about living their <\/i>American Dreams.<\/p>\n

The point? Everyone has a unique version of what it means to live the American Dream.<\/p>\n

With seemingly infinite definitions of what it means to be living the dream, it only makes sense that there are just as many ways to write <\/i>about the American Dream.<\/p>\n

So whether you\u2019re already living the life you\u2019ve always wanted or are still searching for your personal dream, here\u2019s how you can inspire others with your American Dream essay.<\/p>\n

Inspiring Ideas for an American Dream Essay<\/h2>\n

How you approach writing your American Dream essay might already be assigned<\/a> by your prof. But if you have the freedom to decide what type of essay to write, there\u2019s certainly no shortage of applicable essay types.<\/p>\n

Here are a few topic ideas (organized by essay type) to help get your brain waves in motion for your American Dream essay.<\/p>\n

Narrative essay<\/h3>\n

The narrative essay<\/a> is one of the stand-by essays you often write in composition classes. Its goal is to tell a story, so one way to make this type of essay inspiring is to tell your own <\/i>story.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a U.S. immigrant or a Dreamer<\/a>, your story is<\/i> the American Dream: a person immigrating to America (by choice or through the choice of one’s parents) in search of a better life.<\/p>\n

But you don\u2019t have to be an immigrant to write a powerful narrative essay about the American Dream. Think about your goals, dreams, and hopes for your future. Think about how you <\/i>define the American Dream.<\/p>\n

The dream you share might not even be your own. If you\u2019ve been inspired by others who have either struggled to achieve or have already achieved the American Dream, your narrative might tell their tales by weaving in how their actions shaped your own dream.<\/p>\n

The key to writing a strong narrative essay<\/h4>\n

Keep the narrative short and to the point. If you only have three pages to tell your story, you can only fit in so many details. Make them count!<\/i><\/p>\n
