Shajarian Stevens- America!!!

Out of the two articles: Who and What Is American and A Quilt of a Country: Out of Many, One? I felt that A Quilt of a Country: Out of Many, One? was the one that really described citizenship. I mean, the article was basically saying that we all are different people and that no matter what color our skin is or the way we were our hair, we still all come together as one big country just like a quilt. This particlar article in my opinion was based off of Martin Luther King Jr. I Have A Dream speech. Saying that we may look different but we all were created equal and should be treated no difrently.

The reason why i didn't choose the Who and What Is American is because i felt like that article was "pin pointing" certain people. For example when the aurthor was judgeing senators and others on them getting divocred and things and it being in the public, i felt like that's the ameican life. You go throught those things but the aurthor was makeing it seem like those were bad things like you shouldn't be called an american if you go through those things, and i didn't agree with the aurthor through out the whole article. On the other hand i did agree 100% with the article that i chose because the aurthor made really good points and i think everyone shoud see the world on her view.
