An American dream

An American Dream is made up the first five chapters of a work of fiction that will ultimately become a novel. An American Dream is a novel about John and Matt, two young men who have been friends most their lives, and how this friendship comes to an end. I wrote An American Dream with every other chapter being a flashback to Matt and John’s childhood. I did this because I wanted my reader’s to witness how their friendship began alongside how it ends. In my Critical Introduction, I discuss the authors who have influenced me and my writing, as well as many details about my craft and the choices I made in writing An American Dream.
