Title: "The Pushcart Peddlers" - a critical attitude towards the American Dream
Product review: The short play "The Pushcart Peddlers", written by Murray Schisgal in 1980, intends to give a critical view on the American Dream by describing a young man's first day in America, who is called Shimmel. The action contains only this one day when he meets Cornelius, a banana seller who teaches him how life is in the early 19th century in America.All in all the author describes the superficiality of the fast living society in America during the Industrialization and the naivety of immigrants who blindly believe in the wrong promises of the American Dream.To my mind the play is very useful for English lessons and I can really recommend it to everyone who is interested in the American Dream or America in general.
