In your opinion, when are dreams for a better life beneficial, and when are they harmful? Consider the potential power that hopes and dreams can have over someone and how these desires might influence them, for better or for worse.

Provide an example to justify your response by using supporting details from the story and/or real life.

Dreams are better for life as they give people a reason to live and something to strive for. Mike Tyson was once a troubled kid who grew up in poverty.

Dreams are not just desires, but fuel for a source of perseverance to achieve a goal of a much bigger picture.
