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

The article, "A Quilt of a Country: Out of Many, One?" was written by Anna Quindlen in response to the tragedy of 9/11. She discusses all of the different kinds of people that make up America. She compares America's structure to a quilt. I believe Quindlen is right when she says that America is like a quilt. America is made of so many different types of people, yet we all, regardless of differences, are Americans. On 9/11, America as a body of one was devastated. So as a whole, we came together to keep eachother grounded. Our strength as a country comes from our diversity. America is a country of individuals who in times of need, come together to help one other.
