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

In the article "A Quilt of a Country: Out of Many, One?" by Anna Quindlen the idea that America as a whole is created by many diverse cultures religion's and people is made up. In the article it shows that the United States is made up of numerous amounts of races, religions, and colors and have come together as one. Quindlen writes "nation built of ever changing disparate parts, is held together by a notion, the notion that all men are created equal"(15). Throughout the article it is discussed that only part of the notion "all men are created equal is true. Not all people are created equal in America, and many cultures have their way of things compared to one another. Even though there are many cultures made up in America Quindlen writes that when a disaster happens we all come together as one to help out.
I believe this is a very inspirational and powerful article. I think that mostly everything about it is true. America as whole is made up of many different people and within in each person is many cultures. It is sad to knowing that America as a whole comes together mostly when there is disaster are natural events like hurricanes or earthquakes, but at the same time it is nice knowing that we will come together in times of need. Quindlen's explanation in the article on America being a strong nation because the people come together as one is something I agree with and hope it will stay that way. It is sad knowing that there is still racism an discriminatory thoughts in people in America but maybe someday America will go by its notion "all men are created equal".
