I am tryihng to figure out a title for my english paper--help?

Question

My paper is about how Walt Whitman uses imagery to convey to the reader that America has freedom and equality- the American Dream- and how Lawrence Ferlinghetti uses historical and literary allusions to convey that America does not have freedom and equality- that it does not have the American Dream.

I'm thinking something like:

The American Dream: Extinct like (an allusion to something historical/literary) or alive like (something with imagery)

any ideas?

Well you could go with a twist, something like, "The American Face" or "The American Nightmare" so on.

Answer 3

Whitman & Ferlinghetti toss freedom and equality like most people casually flip a coin.
