review, Whitsitt writes from a historical point of view. He’s more direct about the African American society standpoint. He shows that the quilt is an important part of the African American history. Dee doesn’t believes in tradition and wants to hang up the quilt. The quilt was made by Grandma Dee, the Mama, and Big Dee together. Worked on by two generations, the quilt contain bits of fabric from even earlier eras, including a scrap of a Civil War uniform worn by other family members. This…

For example, on June,26,2015 same sex marriage became legal, how do you think they achieved that goal, they achieved it by coming together and supporting one another, and fighting for what they though was fair, and righteous. In a book called, “A Quilt of a Country”, the author wrote about a similar, event, that took place in history, but this event wasn’t positive, It was negative, and that event was, 9/11. 9/11, was a horrendous event, that effected the united states, as a whole. It sent…

and the urge to care for others. Terms that divide us are religion, family traditions, gender, sexuality, racism, and segregation. My first piece of evidence that shows that we can unite as one human race is coming in from the article “A Quilt of a Country” by Anna Quindlen. On page 5, she mentions, “A great nation can consist of entirely refugees, from other nations, and people of different races, even warring religions and cultures, can live side by side.” The reader can see unity…

A quilt is a type of blanket that is often made up of different pieces of fabric. “The Century Quilt” by Marilyn Nelson Waniek is a poem about the importance of family, a sense of security, and the nostalgic feeling that accompanies a person as they grow older. Firstly, each stanza of this poem looks like a patch on a quilt. Some of the stanzas are larger than others, and every stanza is different from the rest. None of the stanzas would make sense without the others. Similarly, the quilt…

the quilts are valuable to her because of the memories of specific people in family, not because of some abstract notion of heritage. On the other hand, Dee rejects the active family objects surrounding her since she learned a larger history of African Nationalism at college.

The Patchwork Quilt In ‘The Patchwork Quilt’ project, we used a variety of stimuli to create the final performance, in which we presented to friends at school. These stimuli included: a sketch of an old lady, photographs of situations including loss, happiness and war, a piece of music, a poem and an extract from the story ‘NightJohn’. In my opinion, it is good to have a range of different stimuli as starting points due to the fact that it can expand other ideas about the project that students…

East beginning in 1988, with no clear outcome to the war and leadership disputed by many groups. AIDS Quilt The AIDS quilt is social event because it was a social movement to bring awareness of AIDS.

America, “The Land of the Free,” is a home to many people of different race and ethnicity, and no matter how different one person may be, America has a notion of how “all men are created equal.” In the article “A Quilt of a Country,” Anna Quindlen, the author, makes the argument of how America contradicts itself by saying how “all men are created are equal,” however, the people living here are very discriminating towards each other because some people believe that the way they think is more…

element of argument Alice Walker uses is Logos. Walker employs facts to give reason to her choices of what to include in her quilt. Walker describes a dress she loves and wears often. She chooses to make her quilt with that dress. One reason she gave to include the dress is she “was pregnant, so it didn’t fit” (Walker 56). A main reason Walker decides to include the dress in her quilt is the fact that she is pregnant, and cannot wear it. Tradition is also a large factor into why Walker made her…

how different one's culture could be to another person, and how it affects how they view the world. Some of those articles are Indian Father's Plea, My mothers pieced quilts, HAPA, Everyday use, and Where worlds collide. People's culture changes how they view the world outside of their own. In the article, My Mother Pieced Quilts by Teresa Palomo Acosta, It says “Into our past, into the river crossing at five, into the spinach fields, into the plainview cotton rows, into tuberculosis…
