A Quilt of a Country:Out of Many, One?

"All men are created equal, though everyone knows that most men consider themselves better than someone" Anna Quindlen states in her article A Quilt of a Country: Out of Many, One? She expresses this statement because she is trying to get the point across that, with all the different ethnicities living in America, people still judge one another based on their race. This article is mainly about the United States being so different from other countries. Other countries have divided into new nations with new names because of their divisions, but America has not. We, as "Americans", can call the people living next door, who may be from a different race, our neighbors. Quindlen makes a very strong point about Arab cabbies being chauffeurs for Jewish passengers and vice versa, even though they hate each other because of their history, but because we are in America they deal with it.

I agree strongly with the author because I believe in how she expresses her thoughts about how our country is today. Im glad that at the end of the day, we can call everyone Americans and our neighbors. I love how much pride the U.S. has, especially when something horrible happens to our nation and at the end of the day we all come together as citizens. That is what America is about, not what race you are or what country your ancestors are from.
