American dream

What is an American dream? I think an American dream is a way to make life better, to work more harder. There are many people around me had different American dreams, some people wants to get more money so they can have a better life, some people wants to challenge a different life, and some people just want more freedom. But anyway, what they do is for life.

Have you ever read the book Of Mice and Men? If you wonder about what is an American dream, you got to read this book. This is a book that talks about people and their “American Dream”.

In this book, there are many different dreams. George and Lennie, their dreams were simple. George is an intelligent guy who takes care of Lennie, and he dreams of a better life, have a farm, a peace place to live. Lennie is an intellectually disabled man who travels with George, all he dreams about is to tend the rabbits and live with George happy ever after.

Curley’s wife also had a dream, too. Curley’s wife wants to become a dancer/actress. Her dream is different from George and Lennie’s, her dream was not that simple, her dream had to work so hard so that she can become famous, but she never did. How can you become a famous person? You need to use men so you can get your dreams come true, which Curley’s wife did. She lived in a barn and she was the only woman in the barn, which had nobody to talk to, she was lonely, all she wants is to do is to talk to people about how she feels. But at finally, Lennie killed her, and her dream never come true.

In conclusion, everyone has their own American dream, but in order to let your dream come true, you have to know what’s your dream. The book ‘Of Mice and Men’ has a lot of examples of different American dreams.

Service Learning

Last Thursday, we had a meeting, we talked about what we going to do for the ice cream sale. We finally decided that the date would be May 21th, 2008. Mrs. Madhi assigned us to bring supplies for the ice cream sale, such as water ice, ice cream sandwiches, napkins, cups, spoons, etc. And I will bring small cups for the water ice. Everything cost a dollar, we were thinking about to get two different size of water ice, and the small one cost a dollar, the large one cost two dollars. But we said that people might not get the large one because it cost too much, there will be many people buy the small one water ice. So we will only get the small one that cost a dollar.

Service Learning

Last Friday, we had an ice cream sale in the school. During the 30 minutes lunchtime, we made approximately $100. We are planning to have another ice cream sale for the coming week. Mrs. Madhi assigned people to create posters during the meeting for the sale, and we talked about what do we need for the next ice cream sale.

Service learning reflection

Last week, we received an E-mail from the C.H.O.P and we discussed about the "Wish List". The Wish List had a list of stuffs about what they need, such as toys, CD players, phone/phone cards, books, etc. Basically, we think they asked for too much, the Wish List was like one page long, we doesn't have enough money to buy these things, so we decided to sell ice cream sandwiches, water ice, and pretzels in the school so we can get money to buy books and toys for them. We try to buy everything from the Wish List. We will begin to sell these thing on May 9th, which is Friday, and  Tanaya's birthday. For the next meeting, I think we will discuss about where to get the food and who's going to get these. I think the meeting was successful because we got a lot of things done!
