2) The first draft of the title for Citizen Kane was "The American."  What can we make of this?  In what ways does the movie comment on America or the American Dream?  


I think that "The American" would be a good title for this movie.  I think this would be a good title because the movie represents american culture, and the American dream.  I think this represents american culture because of the drama.  In Citizen Kane you see affairs, death, and competitive politics.  All of these things are still in dramas today.  Also you see Kane live the American Dream.  He begins poor, but then works hard and earns wealth.  This shows that America is the land of opportunity.  Kane lived the life of a good american.
