This blog is about John Greene an author famous for his books directed to the young adult audience but my blog is a response to John Greene's satire reference of the very coveted "American Dream" to "Cheerleader Sex". In my opinion Greene used this humorous reference to remove or draw attention away from his very disrespectful comment in all dishonoring what the American dream for immigrants really is its not about better or ideal living, great jobs and equal treatment its all about high quality sexual attraction for american women getting there sons laid. Greene's use of this cheerleader sex confused me at first but it started to unravel as i noticed that he used his parents immigration to america and all of there great sacrifices as reasons for him to obtain a very meaningless goal compared to those stated by other immigrants making the very treacherous journey to America to obtain the very coveted "American Dream".
In the quote John Greene stated "Amid the snowy hilltops of western North Carolina, their son would lose his virginity to a cheerleader in the woman's bathroom of a Waffle house. In my opinion Greene is saying this meaningless goal to mock the American dream in humorous fashion as America is known around the world as an over weight country who´s weakness is sex, food, and laughter. So Cheerleader sex inside of a waffle house bathroom can fit all of those descriptions. So does John Greene in a whole that the very coveted American dream to a meningless sexaul attraction of sexual intercourse with a cheerleader.
In conclusion, are Mister Greene´s comments acceptable to any including americans and immigrants who have made the treachourous journey and the ones who only dream about it? . In my opinion no, but he has been spared in our great country that he mocked theres an amendment that gives any and everyone ¨Freedom of speech¨ So luckily Greene is protected by his ignorant us of words. However, I still feel Greene should be held to some type of accountability because he may have poisoned many individuals views, especially up and coming young minds due to his great young adult fan base. All in all, I feel that Greene has abused his social power to poison young individuals minds which is never good for any country. He has lost a fan of many years.
