Arnold loves to dream, he loves drawing about his life, and his dreams, even his parents and his best friend Rowdy's dreams. To him though,he dreams, but he feels his dreams won't happen, they won't be heard just like his parents dreams. He feel that if your an Indian you are already poor and titled "dreams that will never come true"
He views the power of dreams aren't going to matter, if your dream is very powerful if your an Indian, it doesn't matter, it won't change your life. He basically says what's the point of dreaming when it won't come true, special if your an Indian. Me and Arnold have different perspective, I believe even if no one listens to your dreams, that won't affect whether it comes true or not. What only affects your dreams is if you believe that your dream is not worth hearing, you have to make your dream come true, not others do it for you. You have to work, it won't just come to you.
Arnold would respond to dream big in a negative way, he would feel like if you dream big and have hope, that it will later crash and burn on you, that your dream won't come true and it would be crushed and you wouldn't have any dreams to live for anymore.
My dream depends a lot on school work, teachers my parents, but it mostly depends on me. I have to make the choice whether to do good on homework and work for my dream. Others just help keep me motivated and help me prepare for life. I have to make the choice on working and really wanting my dream, and not just thinking it as a "option".
We seem to give up on our dreams when we become sad, depressed or even scared. We give up when our future looks gleam, we focus more on what happened in the past than whats going to happen and how can I use the future to my advantage. We need to learn to get up from our mistakes, rather than letting them take us down, we need to learn how to take every advantage that we can, and we need to learn to listen. If we learn this we will do greatness.

When I hear "American Teenager" I think of a young girl, around the age of 13-15 just starting to figure out life. Figuring out that boys actually don't have cooties and that they actually want attention from them.that they are just figuring out that there is such a thing called "stress" and that almost everyone suffers from. Around this age they start to worry more how they act, look, or their popularity and they are more easy to be emmbaressed then before.They are still learning how to live on their own without someone always "Babying" them. They are their midst of being adults and all their wrong doing are still teachin them how to be mature young adults. http://www.flickr.com/photos/poseng/5293316294/in/pool-867242@N24/
