Not all Americans look at obesity as failure but some do and the reason is because they have set an expectation. Americans are not the only that look at obesity as failure and it's kind of sad that people think that way just because obese people look different. We all come in different shapes and sizes and that's normal but when Americans started saying that small waist and skinny body is what they want that's when people start judging and making obese people feel insecure. I do not experience this but my best friend does in it disgusts me to see people think that way. Obesity is not failure, it's just another fabulous body.
The description of setting in paragraph 7 of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is important to the theme of America's changing history in that it depicts Sleepy Hollow as a "drowsy" place caught in the past while great "currents" of change go on around it.
