Answer:

I wrote a basis, just add some adjectives and words of your own and you'll be good to go! :)

Explanation:

America, one of the most interestingly built countries in the world. Other countries know America for a plethora of things: economy, government, population, but nobody except for those who reside in the country truly knows what it means to be an American. To be an American means to be proud, work hard, and never give up.

Pride is often considered a weakness. We often look at those who are prideful as cocky and over the top, but when it comes to Americans, there is no such thing as too much pride. To truly be an American you can't just live in the country, you have to have pride for your homeland. You have to be grateful and excited that you live in the USA, that your forefathers fought for your freedom. That is truly the mark of an American patriot.

Hard work may just be the basis of our entire country. No ethnicity, language, or culture can define us, but hard work can. More than any other defining factor, hard work has built America from the ground. Through centuries of tears, growth, determination and blood, America has come to what it is today. Not to say that this country is perfect, but it has come farther than perhaps anyone expected in a short period of time.

The final factor that makes a true American is the idea of perseverance, or never giving up. America has created a great civilization, a great place for people to give up, but without perseverance, it couldn't be possible. In fact, if our Continental Army had given up on a hard day at Valley Forge, America maybe would not exist. Never giving up is the basis of the country in all senses.

In conclusion, to be an American means you work hard, you take pride in your country, and you never give up. These are the things that have built our country and they are the things that define us as American people.

Hope this works for you! Sorry if it sounds rushed- tried to get it done ASAP!

Being an American is awesome. I feel that I am part of the best country in the whole wide world and feel that we all are blessed with so much freedom in our everyday lives. Many people in the United States are used to hearing themselves as an “American”, but they do not associate it with privilege anymore. Everyone uses the word so often, but they barely know what it means. Many people hate the fact that they live in this country, and they never take the time to realize how blessed they are to live in America. These people are blind to the fact that many others around the world would give anything to be in their shoes, ready for the opportunity to succeed and start a new life.

People in the United States take the freedom this country has to offer for granted. They don’t realize what kinds of freedoms they really have and how unique they are compared to the rest of the world. The word that clearly describes “American” is “Free”. It does not mean that an American can obtain free food, a free car or a free home. Instead it means that a person living in the United States is free to make their own decisions, such as choosing who will run the country. In the United States of America, the people have freedom of speech, religion, the right to vote, the right to keep and bear arms, and ability to travel where and when they want. Here in this country we can decide how to live our lives, without the government breathing down our necks telling us what to do.

We can speak our minds about a certain injustice or write about controversial things that many people deem unconstitutional or politically incorrect. In the United States, we have an opportunity to serve our country. We have the chance to give back something to a country that has given us so much. We aren’t forced into the military service, but rather we have a choice whether or not we want to serve. Here in the United States, we are truly blessed with so much. I believe being an American means that we are all part of something truly special and we as Americans carry a certain sense of pride in our country.

Freedom of speech and the freedom of religion are prohibited in many countries around the globe but Americans have fought to obtain these rights. America was formed on the idea that religion and speech should not be controlled by the government. Being able to speak out about an injustice is very important for the overall health of a nation. People will always continue to be people. They will lie and cheat to get more and more power. In the United States, we are able to see that and write or speak about it without fear of any retaliation. We have a right to say our minds, a right to say whats on our heart. If someone is the government is doing something that is unconstitutional or illegal, we can say or write whatever we want about it without the fear of being punished.

Identify the term that best desribes the italicized word although the women was attacked by a swarm of bees, she managed to esca
Flauer [41]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • Italicized words are those which are written in a ‘slant’ way. We often come across such italicized words and sentences in novels, poems, and written documents.
  • Italicized style of writing is used mainly to draw attention on the important things.
  • In the sentence, ’Although the women was attacked by a swarm of bees, she managed to escape with little injury’, the term that should be used as an Italicized word is probably ‘attacked.’ When readers read attacked, it makes them curious to know as to what will happen next? So attacked is mostly the word which can draw a readers attention.
