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

America is a melting pot. It is home to many different people from many different cultures and backgrounds. Despite all of our differences the citizens of America come together as one when the situation calls for it. Many may wonder how people from such opposite walks of life can joined into one so easily. But that's the magic of the United States; "a mongrel nation that somehow in times like this, has one spirit."

In the article "A Quilt of a Country: Out of One, Many?" by Anna Quindlen discusses the unconventional ways of "Great American Melting Pot." This article was written just after the 911 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centers. After that tragic day all of the people of America came together to provide their support and help in anyway they could. The United States is one of the greatest countries in the world for this and many other reasons. The American spirit defies reason and defies the odds but it is what makes this country run. That is why I love America! :)
