that they can chase the 4 American Dream Everyone has heard of it and many have died fighting for it The only thing is that there is no clear definition of the American Dream It is not defined by one dream but all the opportunities that the United States has to offer Since the founding of the United States people have been striving to define the American Dream In the play Death of a Salesman every character is trying to realize his own version of the American Dream Willy feels that by being well liked he has achieved what the American Dream is all about He has spent his whole life as a salesman who has not been very successful As he gets older he starts having conflicts with everyone in his life and feels that only by killing himself will the people around him be able to finally be happy Bernard on the other hand feels that the American Dream can only be achieved if one has been successful in their academic and professional careers He shows that through hard work and dedication success can be accomplished He reached his professional goals and achieved his version of the American Dream Throughout the play these feelings are shown through the dialogue and actions of the characters They try to achieve their goals of the American Dream Willy is unsuccessful in his attempt while Bernard is very successful in achieving his goal Many people try to achieve the American Dream but few actually do so As with any goal the American Dream takes hard work and dedication In Death of a Salesman all aspects of this goal are examined For the goal to be achieved the dream must be an attainable one which is worth working toward It also must be a dream that the professional world accepts and finds useful NoteNote 长短句分析 As he gets older he starts having conflicts with everyone in his life and feels that only by killing himself will the people around him be able to finally be happy 句法点睛 这是个主从复合句 As he gets older 为状语从句 he starts having 5 conflicts with everyone in his life and feels 为主句 only by killing himself will the people around him be able to finally be happy 为宾语从句 该句使用的是倒 装语序 句意 随着年龄的增长 他开始和生活中的每个人发生冲突 并且觉得唯有自杀才能够 让周围的人最终快乐起来 语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文 通过评论剧本 推销员之死 来诠释 美国梦 1 The first paragraph mainly tells us A reasons for coming to America B something about the United States C something about the American Dream D the definition of the American Dream 答案 C 主旨大意题 第一段总体指出了 美国梦 的一些情况 而并非是为 美国 梦 下定义
