This image portrays the American dream for many Americans. For many people living in the United States the American dream is to own their own home and have a family. For this family they are doing what they think they're suppose to do, which is own their own home and have a family. Although this picture wasn't taken recently, it still is what many people in the United States perceive as the American dream. This family seen here own their own home and has a son and a daughter, which is something that many people think is part of the American dream, although is an extremely minor part of it. If I were to guess in this family the father is the one who earns the money for the family and the mother stays at home to cook, clean, and take care of the kids. That was extremely popular around the time this picture looks like it was taken. Today this isn't nearly as common because today a lot of the time both of the parents work. That is a part of the American dream that has seemed to disappeared for the most part.
