Family Stories and the Fictional Dream.
Romano, Tom
English Journal, v82 n5 p34-36 Sep 1993
Discusses one high school senior's fictional rendition of her family's experiences of immigration and the American myth. Describes how stories such as this one can be moving and powerful, and thus constitute a sort of "fictional dream" into which readers enter and are thereby changed. (HB)
