Leave it to the Cleavers: To Kill the American Dream
What do we think when someone says "American Dream". There is most likely a home located in a family packed subdivision in a fifties decade. Inside there is a mother with a pearl necklace and high heels fixing a hot meal in the kitchen with a flowered apron. Outside the two coed children are playing basket ball and hop-scotch with the other kids in the neighborhood. Then when the suited father arrives home from his high business job he is greeted at the door with a drink from his wife. They all sit around the dinner table as they each go around and talk about what they did that day. On it goes day after day the "American Dream" and thanks to The Cleavers this is what many feel the "American Dream" should be like. Ever since the fifties the "American Dream" has died little by little but The Cleavers will always hold the trophy for the perfect "American Dream".
