The construction of the Interstate Highway System was authorized by the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, popularly known as the Interstate Highway and Defense Act of 1956.

It was a petition of the largest automobile manufacturers in the United States and promoted by President Dwight D. Eisenhower - influenced by his experiences as a young soldier crossing the United States in 1919 following the route of the Lincoln Highway and the knowledge of the German motorway network (Autobahnen) during World War II - as a necessary component of a national defense system. This would make possible a better displacement by land of troops and military supplies.

The design of a system of new superhighways began in the late 1930s, even before a federal committee was formed to build the Interstate Highway System in the 1950s. In the 1920s, some roads, such as those in the New York area, were built as part of the local or state systems.

The summary should be done to present your understanding of the book and its elements. I can't write the summary for you, but I'll show you how to do it.

<h3>Explanation of the elements that must be present in the summary:</h3>
  • Tom: the feeling that the text conveyed to you.
  • Environment: The setting where the story takes place.
  • Sensory Images: Descriptions of people or things done in the text that can stimulate your senses and make you feel what was being described.
  • Main characters: The characters that provoke the most important parts of the story and promote the movement of the plot.

To write the summary, you must first read the book to which the question refers. As you read, you will be able to identify the elements described above. To improve your understanding and identification of these elements, you can search for articles that analyze this book and direct you to the plot.

In this form, you can write your summary by following these steps:

  1. First paragraph: Introduce the book, and the author, and give a brief overview of the plot, setting, and characters.
  2. Second paragraph: Show the tone of the text and how that tone is established within the most important events of the book and the behavior of its characters.
  3. Third paragraph: Show how the book is descriptive, capable of creating sensory images and making reading even more efficient.

Below you can see an example of how you can start the summary:

<em>"Taíno" written by Jose Barreiro is a book that bets on the colonization of America and the different and sometimes conflicting visions between Europeans and indigenous people. This is done through the story of the young Taíno, who, when adopted by Cristovon Colombo, embarks on adventures in the American continent and has experiences in culture, colony, environment, and power.</em>
