The American dream in chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Americanah and Nicola Yoon's the sun is also a star

Abstract EN

The United States of America have recently succeeded in imposing their sovereignty over the world by promoting the American dream through all media, films, novels and short stories.

In other words, America succeeded in implanting the idea in human minds that the United States of America is the land of many opportunities in which you can achieve everything you desire, regardless of your race, gender, religion, social class, etc.

The trick is to present the American Dream as the ideal life you can achieve to have a better standard of living, a luxe villa, a fancy car and marry a blonde girl.

Therefore, many critics wondered about what the American dream is, and is it possible for a person to emigrate by any means! Whether legal or not in order to achieve his desired goal.

Therefore, the researcher decided to quote from the two contemporary novels that tackled this topic in particular.

Moreover, both novelists discuss these dilemmas from different angles in Americanah and The Sun is Also A Star.
