Post 1: You learned the definition of the American Dream in this week's lecture. You also learned about the American identity. Traits often associated
with the American identity include boldness, confidence, perseverance, and integrity. These traits are often demonstrated through a character's

characters from "Life in the Iron Mills" and explain how boldness applies to them in the story.
