Question

whats the summay of a quilt of a country

Answer 1

Answer:

In Anna Quindlen's essay " A Quilt of a Country: Out of Many, One" she wirtes about how a country with so many people of different cultures, ethnicities ,religions, skin colors and sexual preferences can unite as one after a devastating event such as 9/11. The United States of America is a very diverse country with many different ethnicities that don't usually get along. In her essay she gives us examples of how the people of America are united despite there differences by telling us how Arab cab drivers will chauffeur Jewish passengers and yet speak in theory of hatred for one another. Other places in the world like Europe use countries to separate ethnicities, but the United States of America puts all ethnicities into one country to unite as one. She also states how the mexican immigrants of today are no different from the Italian and Irish immigrants from back then.

I believe this is a powerful essay because it shows us that the immigrants who become citizens of the United States have worked hard to be here. Most of them start out in small jobs like Ma and Pa stores. I like how Leonel Castillo points out that the Ma and Pa stores that were once owned by Italian , Jewish and Eastern European immigrants are now owned by the Korean , Vietnamese , Iraqi, Jordanian, and Latin Amercan immigrants of today. This statement shows that the immigrants entering the United States today are not much different from the first immigrants of the United States. The United States is also very excepting of all sexual preferences and homosexuality is becoming nationally excepted.
