An american is everyone who is in this country and wants to be here to appreciate our freedoms and to make their life better. Whether a person is brought over to America for some reason or they choose to come here, they are American if they make their home here and gain a love of this country. They can come from all over the world which is what makes this country to diverse, and as some call it, The Melting Pot.

unless you have experienced it. It may bring up feelings of joy, remorse, belonging, or isolation depending on the individuals experience. In Shirley Geok-Lin Lim’s poem “Learning to Love America,” she digs into these emotions of immigrating to a new country and the expectations that come with it. The speaker of this poem, most-likely a middle-aged immigrant and a mother, demonstrates that coming to America was both a rewarding journey as well as a struggle with her own personal identity and…

must take a citizenship test. This test covers the history of America and really challenges immigrants to learn about the country before they can actually become a part of it. For this reason the people who subject themselves to this test must study for a long time. They have to know a lot about the history of America, and what people went through while it was developing as a country. Many people would say that just being born in American does not make you an American. Some people think that…

Between 1790 all through 1860 America was a new country trying to learn how to run itself. The success of the American Revolution brought hope of a country with a just government; a nation where every citizen has a say in how things are run. I believe America had only started to envision that, with citizens like William Manning proposing thoughts on how American government could be, but with concern about how it could get corrupted. The way some citizens would stay oppressed while others…

The Singing Cowboy “An entire generation of Americans has lost a beloved old friend from childhood. Gene Autry’s music and movies captured all that was good and inspiring about America’s Old West,” as said by President Bill Clinton. He was the perfect example of how chivalry should be shown. Through Gene Autry’s hard work, he was able to overcome an impoverished childhood and become one of the most successful “Singing Cowboys” of his generation, leaving a legacy for many singers to live up to.…

History of Famous Hoosiers There are many famous Hoosiers in Indiana. One of my favorite famous Hoosier would have to be Florence Henderson. The reason I choose Florence out of the other 50 was that she played in the Brady Bunch and that was my favorite TV show. I would say that Florence Henderson’s greatest accomplishment would be starting in the Brady Bunch or possible making her greatest hits. Florence Henderson played Carol Brady the mother in Brady Bunch. Florence Henderson embodies the…

Pore over the tune titles on rapper Ludacris' 2015 collection, Ludaversal, and a few topics rise that are apparently custom-made to cutting edge Acura. "Grass is Always Greener" could depict Acura's deserting of storied nameplates like Legend and Integra for alphanumerics; "Not Long" could allude to its conviction that a seat in the full-extravagance pantheon is practically around the bend; and "Brute Mode" could be a gesture to the up and coming NSX supercar. In actuality, the collection's…

The short story “Mrs. Sen’s”, which is a part of the “Interpreter of Maladies” by Jhumpa Lahiri, portrays a woman’s failure to accept the culture she is being submersed into since she is still holding on to her past, putting a toll on her new chapter of life. Mrs. Sen is a house wife, who is married to her husband, Mr. Sen, who is professor at a university. Mrs. Sen and Eliot, the eleven year old boy she babysits, are a lot alike because of their detachment from society and lack of power to…

Leaving the country where you have spent most of your time growing up is not as easy as drinking a water, especially when you need to move and stay in another country for the rest of your life. It sounds so depressing and scary for me, until I did the interview of a person that immigrate to the United State for this assignment. The person that I interviewed was Kyori Anse. He used to live in the capital city of Japan, Tokyo. About 7 years ago, Kyori and his family migrated to the United States.…
