From Christopher Gardner's official website: " In his stirring
autobiography Chris Gardner details his journey from homeless single father to
self-made millionaire. It is the gripping story of his refusal to give up on his
quest for the American dream and his duties to his toddler son, or give into the
despair that threatened to devour him from birth.
The Pursuit of Happyness is an inspirational, coming-of-age memoir that
bears the message that a hunger for learning, hard work, and never giving up on
the people who make you truly "wealthy," can break destructive cycles and propel
anyone to unlimited heights - no matter who they are, where they come from, or
what their circumstances may be."
Think for a moment about how you would define the American
Dream. What do you want out of life as much as Chris wants to give his son a
home? Using the internet or photos from home, put together a photo display of
what you consider your American Dream. This can be on poster board or on a
PowerPoint. It must have a title and a minimum of five pictures and a paragraph
defining your concept of The American Dream.
