Pictures of Squire - http://www.enotes.com/canterbury-tales/pictures/squires-tale
The Squire is a knight in training, who had a father that is a knight. He is a very musical, literate, and artistic person. From writing poems to singing, he can do it all. Overall, he is just a very talented person. Since he is training to be a knight, he is very strong a fast. The Squire is a polite and a romantic person. He managed to get the heart of the person he likes. He also is deprived from sleep. For his physical appearance, he has curly hair and wears very bright clothing.
Although he is the son of the knight, he is not wealthy, but he will be inheriting his father's wealth after his death. I think he wants to be like his father since he is training to be a knight.

The American Dream
The american dream that many came here to achieve might not be attainable in this generation anymore. Years ago, the common american dream was to own property and earn a lot of money to provide for the family and stabilize their lives. Now, having this dream and achieving it can be difficult. Although the american dream wasn't attainable for many, my dream is to have a high paying job, be well educated, and have a family of my own.
Having a stable job is becoming more difficult, considering the fact that there is not enough jobs for everyone. According to the article, "Generation Screwed", there is a high unemployment rate among the younger generation. This is because there are not enough jobs for both the older and younger generation. My hopes of having a job that pays well is not much anymore. Now that I know it is much harder to get a high paying job, I think my american dream of getting a good job might be a bit of a reach. I'm considering to adjust my dream to something easier to achieve. Maybe just having a stable job can be my new american dream.
My goal, more than anything, is to be well educated since I do have a passion for learning. I want to know as much as I can about this world, and so, my dream for the future is to take many classes that I'm interested in while I'm in college. What I am the most concerned about now is, how am I ever going to learn efficiently, if technology and the use of the internet is deteriorating our brains. According to the article, "iCrazy", our brains are getting damaged with the continued use of the internet. I am fortunate enough to have been gifted with having a long attention span, but during the past few years, I found myself having a shorter attention span. This worries me because I wouldn't have the attention set that I need to become well educated in the future. I see the dangers of the growth in technology. I think my dream to learn as much as I can about this world might change in the future, depending on how much my brain changes.
My american dream of raising a family can be affected by how much we use technology today. In the future, I would like to have a strong relationship with my children. I think technology could affect this if my children use the internet more than they should. According to the article, "iCrazy", the continued use of technology can fuel depression. I know that technology is becoming more accessible as time goes on, so it worries me that my family might develop some type of depression.
Having a high paying job, becoming well educated, and raising a family of my own is the american dream that I might have to change due societal changes. Technology might be damaging to us as a society and it can affect my chances of obtaining my american dream. With that being said, we must stop our brains from withering away, which will increase our chances for success or, in other words, having a better chance of reaching the american dream.
