The California Dream
The "California Dream" is a goal for the many people that escape to California, but in general it turns out to be nothing but a dream. It is the hope that by moving to a new place with different weather and lifestyles allows one to start their life again and thus be welcomed with new opportunities. While this is the case for some people like early miners finding the motherlode or the founders of the silicon valley , the majority eventually finds out that it takes just as much work to be successful in California as it does in any other part of the country. The California Dream is very much like the American Dream. In each there is hope at the end of the tunnel. What makes them different, is that the California Dream is for people that are already in America and haven't found success. Which brings up the question; "What do Californians dream?".

What you are saying is that California's differences from the origins of those "dreamers" leads the "dreamers" to believe that everything will be alright once they reach their destination, but unfortunately, these dreams turn out to be fake, or sometimes, even worse, nightmares. I like the question at the end, and I guess in the end, Californians just dream of the same thing as everyone else: making it big with a huge stroke of luck.
ReplyDeleteWell yes, you did interpret what I said correctly for the most part, except for where you say the dream turns a nightmare. I wouldn't say that people find themselves with a nightmare when they don't get what they want in California. At the end of the day everyone has the beauty that is California to marvel at. And thanks for liking that question I pose at the end.
