Write an essay describing the “Puritan Dream” (as explained by Cullen), then compare and contrast the Puritan Dream with 3 subsequent versions/conceptualizations of the American Dream. To what extent, and in what specific ways, did the Puritan Dream linger in later centuries? For your comparisons, choose 1 additional example from Cullen (Abraham Lincoln or Andrew Jackson), and choose 2 examples from lectures and other readings/films (Ben Franklin, Charles Foster Kane, H.D. Thoreau, or Andrew Carnegie).
I’ve provided all available readings in the uploads section. Hopefully you’ve also seen the movie Citizen Kane
