Coursework Instructions:

Prompt from Professor:
Chapter 3 of Jim Cullen's The American Dream: A Short History of an Idea That Shaped a Nation and complete the following:
There are 3 parts that I want you to answer: first part answer the "Observation", second answer the "Passage" part, and finally answer the "Question" part.
Each part the (Observation, Passage and Question) should each be answered with a minimum of 180 words for at least a total of 2 pages.
* Part 1: Observation: Write a few sentences about something you found interesting or worthy of discussion. It could be something thematic, like its point of view on the American Dream. Or it could be an observation about issues of gender, sexuality, psychology, socioeconomic class, etc. Or, it could be something generally along those lines.
* Part 2: Passage: Look for a quote from the Chapter 3 of Jim Cullen's "The American Dream: A Short History of an Idea That Shaped a Nation"reading that stands out to you for one reason or another then once you find a quote make sure to write the page number and explain as best you can what that reason is that it stands out to you. It might be admiring or critiquing the construction of the language, the idea being discussed, its relevance to some larger concept, etc.
* Part 3: Question: Now I want you to write down a question or two about something you don't quite understand or something on which you just would like other students' perspective.
Again reminder for each of the three parts your answer should be with a minimum of 180 words and a total of 2 pages.
Notes from me to the writer:
• This assignment doesn't require it for it to be answered like an essay but rather just a paragraph for each part.
* The assignment must be done in Times New Roman Font Size 12 with 1 inch margins all around.
I included image screenshots of Chapter 3 of "The American Dream" by Jim Cullen. There are a total of 43 image screenshots of Chapter 3 but since I could only upload 20 files in the order form I added the remaining 23 screenshots on the link of the "DropMeFiles"
