Rudy Ramirez, the Mexican-American drone “pilot,” lives in The American Dream. Memo dreams of participating in The American Dream by getting nodes and living in the city. But the brutal killing of Memo’s father reveals that America/The American Dream is a dystopia.
a) Describe how Sleep Dealer represents The American Dream as a dream that is really a dystopia: How does Memo imagine it at first? How does his brother see it? How does his father see it? How is it represented on TV? How does Memo see and experience it as a worker in the cybermaquilas? What is Rudy’s role in The American Dream?
b) The end of the film has Memo and Rudy come together to create a new dream. What is it? What clues from the film do you have to support your interpretation?

a) to memo it look like a exciting thing to do for advancing technology devices, but once he saw on tv that a single was traced from his house realizing that his father was in there that was not good. his brother thought of this the American dream as being funny. memos father did not seem to care form what i could remember. it was shown on tv as a entertain action show. memo thought of it as weird at first, but got accustom to it and continued to work there to support his family. Rudy role in the movie was a soldier jet fighter, to kill off any threats of single that were pick up.
b) after studying and getting to know memo threw information he had bought from luz he realized that he had to find memo to apologized for killing his dad.and to let him know that he was the who killed him
Not bad, but you are describing what happened in the film rather than trying to figure out what does it mean? What does it mean (or matter) that these two very different persons, who were meant to be separate, come together at the end of the film?
