Well, according to the great Hunter S. Thompson, it's heart is somewhere in Las Vegas So it must be gluttony, excess in all things, cheap thrills, delusions of being much more prosperous than you really are, and the chance (However remote) that you could make it big. Also all night buffets and bad floor shows featuring Tom Jones, of course.

My parents wanted to come here to the US because the situation in Peru was difficult. There were not many job opportunities and my dad had to support two daughters and my mom. I think curiosity and rumors on how the quality of life was better here convinced my parents to come. The problem was that you're able to accomplish what you want with strong determination but you have to work non-stop and thats what my dad did. He worked really hard and my mother did too. We stayed home alone. Long story short they divorced and we ended up living with my dad. The price is very high to pay when immigrants come here. But despite the huge sacrifice, I am glad my parents decided to come here. I don't know what I would be doing in Peru right now, but my life would have been SO different.

"The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position.
