The Gift Of America Analysis

Decent Essays
The gift that America has given me is that I have the right to learn. And because of this benefit to learn, I feel more powerful in my own way. And that gives me the strength I need to make it in life one day at a time. Even though it can be hard sometimes when I don't understand the subject or question.
One thing that learning helps me with the fact that I can learn, is that I can understand that subject better, or I understand more about something I didn't know

    Dear politicians who strongly believe in a revolution to make America better, That includes every single of you; every single one of you who has a belief and tries to edify that belief beyond anyone else’s. Yet, no matter what you believe in, or the morals that you have, each of you got to be that way at some point in your life. At some point, there came a pivotal scene that changed the way you saw the world. Whether those beliefs came naturally or were taught to you by people you looked up to, they became beliefs at some point, theories rather than paradoxical ideas from seemingly nowhere. In politics there are two sides to the spectrum, liberal and conservative.…

    The heart and soul of what America values derives from the American Dream. This idea was explored by James Truslow Adams in his book, “The Epic of America,” written in 1931.

Americans treasure freedom the most out of any value.…
