Question

The American Dream: Is the American Dream attainable for all immigrants? Does Esmeralda achieve the American Dream by the end of the book? If so, at what cost? The title of the book, When I Was Puerto Rican indicates that she no longer feels Puerto Rican. Does one have to assimilate or give up one’s culture in order to achieve the American Dream?

Answer 1

I haven’t read the book but the first answer is no because some immigrants still are poor as they come to America even though they have a job and don’t achieve the American dream in
