Mythe et Hero le Rêve américain et les immigrés héros

"I am going to talk about the notion of Myths and Heroes. First we can define the word “myth” as a popular belief or tradition of a society or false notion. To illustrate this notion, I have chosen two documents: a song about the American land, a photo and an extract of novel.

We are going to ask if the American dream is a reality.

The song is entitled “American Land” and is written by Bruce Springsteen. It talks about the wave of immigration in America during the end of the 19th century until the 20th century. Bruce Springsteen enounces the hopes of the immigrants about this new land. At the beginning of the song, he describes the country like a wonderful place where you can become rich easily. He also mentions the opportunities to build his house and to work. But in the end of his song he talk about the difficulties encountered by the immigrants when they arrive in American . in fact, the singer refers to the working class which works in factories risking their lives.

The second document is a a photo of 1920 where we can even a tails of people and black people who looks poor and unhappy. With just above them an publicity of the American model family.

Je vais parler de la notion de mythes et de héros. Premièrement, nous pouvons définir le mot" mythe "comme une croyance populaire ou une tradition de société ou une fausse notion. Pour illustrer cette notion, j’ai choisi deux documents: une chanson la terre américaine, une photo et un extrait de roman.
