'A Quilt of a Country' Brief Summary
'A Quilt of a Country' is a commentary written by Pulitzer-prize winning author Anna Quindlen for Newsweek following the devastation of the September 11, 2001, attacks on America. The premise behind this article is that despite the diversity that can create a lot of problems within cities across America, diversity serves as a tribute to what makes America special.
Analysis: Metaphor
How is America different from every other country in the world? America is a unique and incredible idea because it is made up of so many parts that don't seem like they should fit together, but is actually made better because of all the diversified pieces. Quindlen uses a metaphor, or a literary comparison, of the U.S. to a quilt to describe its unique creation by using its various parts.
Far from perfect, America has suffered from bigotry in many forms. Racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of hate have permeated the culture of America since its beginning, yet tragedies, such as 9/11, serve to remind us of our blessings.
One of the things that distinguishes America from other countries is the strong commitment of each group to uphold his or her culture of origin. In varying degrees, people with origins in Italy, Ireland, Germany, Mexico, Native America, China, and every other imaginable heritage have, for the most part, maintained their customs, and, unfortunately, in some cases, their hatred towards other groups. Over time, some of the lines have been muted, while others remain staunch.
In essence, the author is stating that the degree of diversity that exists in the United States is much greater than any other country in the world. Any time there is a lot of diversity, there is the potential for problems. The U.S. is not immune to those problems and has faced them since colonial times.
