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

"A Quilt of a Country: Out of One, Many?" by Anna Quindlen shows how America today is like a huge quilt. There really is not just America, but all different races, cultures, and ethnicities that come together to form the pieces of the quilt. Although racism and hatred towards others is frowned upon in todays society, it still lingers and is a big issue. However, when tragedy strikes, such as the attack on 9/11, we are able to put our differences aside to come together as a country and fight as a whole. Even with all our differences, we are able to become one and work together for our country.

I agree with the author's views on this. The way she represents America as a whole made out of all the little pieces is very true. Today there are so many different races and cultures that is hard to define what an American looks like or believes in. All we know for sure is that when bad things happen, we all have the same pride for our country and its well being. We are a very diverse group that is able to come together to work for our nation.
