Giving Up Dreams

In Sherman Alexie's "Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" Juniors sister Mary gives up on her dreams of writing. Mary had this great idea of writing romance novels but gave up on them and became depressed. Many people give up on dreams because they think they are childish, need money, are influenced by others, or lose the willingness to chase their dreams. So many people give up on their dreams but the few that work hard and don't give up become successful. Mary could have worked hard instead of shying away from her dream and possibly been a successful writer. If one works hard to make their dreams a reality it is possible, but not always, they will be successful and happy with themselves.
