I need to write a general sentence about the American dream. Can someone help me? In 1931, the American historian and writer James Truslow Adams wrote a book. It was called "The Epic of America." This book told the story of our nation. But it wasn't like most history books. It wasn't about events. It was about people. The book was about the characteristics of Americans.

Adams wrote about the American dream. He wrote that it was "that dream of a land where life should be better, richer, and more fulfilling for everyone." The talent and dedication of a person would decide his chances. This dream was not about possessions or money. It was a dream of a place where everyone could be successful. With dedication and hard work, nothing was out of reach.
