The California Dream
What is the California Dream? This question was presented to me a couple of days ago in my writing 130 class. It at first elicited in me one of the stereotypical answers of "success, wealth, romance", before I truly started to ponder the question. Why did I come to California? I came from Tennessee to California knowing no one. It was a completely new environment for me and it was a major cultural shock. I think that is one of the reasons many people come to California, for a chance at new beginnings. That chance could also be for a multitude of other reasons, such as success, fame, or wealth. For me, it was a chance to grow and experience new things.

Your insight on the California Dream is great. It's interesting to see how someone who searched the California Dream himself thinks of dream. It is comforting to know that what said is for the most part what I derived from a lot of the songs I have been hearing.
