the Explanation

This blog was set up as a partner to my main blog, the American Dream According to Me...and Some Other People. The main blog was set up as a project for a class on the American dream. This page was set up for viewing the partner to the conceptual map, which was a final paper. The topic of my final paper was the Expatriate American Dream, which is presented in a stream of consciousness style and explores, in a windy fashion, the thoughts and dreams of America's most famous expatriates: the Lost Generation (focusing mainly on Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and T.S. Eliot), and the Beat Movement (featuring the trifecta of William S. Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, and Allen Ginsberg - Kerouac's On the Road served as inspiration for the style of the following paper).

Happy Reading.
