1. The first idea constructed by the author of the essay on lines 1-13 is that America is a nation resulting from pieces of various nations. This means that America is a culturally and socially diverse country, where each person has their own experiences and concepts and where each person has a different origin from each other. The second idea that the author raises is that this diversity should mean that all citizens are equal, but that is not what happens, since the history of America is told by events, where the freedoms and rights of groups of people were denied because they were not considered free and of equal value.
2. The author shows that these events that show injustice and denial of rights (such as lynching of blacks, denial of rights to women, murder of gays) are failures in the freedom and equality that America preaches, which indicates that the nation had great failures and it is these failures that question the country's real capacity to be fair and successful.
3. In line 22, the puzzle that the author refers to is related to the fact that as an increasingly individualistic country where many citizens proliferate, the feeling of superiority manages to remain united and in community in adverse moments?
4. The author believes that the country is divided, fragmented, because most of the time, citizens are on the verge of starting a fight with their peers because they do not see them as equals, but as something different and a citizen who does not belong there. . To exemplify this, the author states that in America an Arab can be a taxi driver for a Jew, or, a Jew can be a taxi driver for an Arab, even if both are part of American society, they do not see themselves as equals they can raise hate speech against each other.
1) In Canto IV of "Inferno", Dante descends into Limbo, the First Circle of Hell. He tries to fix his eyes in order to know the place where he is. 'Limbus' in latin means edge, borger, margin. Dante chooses pictorical and musical elements to describe the setting. He distinguishes sounds: «Here, as mine ear could note, no plaint was heard / Except of sighs, that made the eternal air / Tremble, not caused by tortures, but from grief». It's a place of «shadowy sadness», «dark and deep and murky». It's a «blind world» beacuse here lie men and women that never knew the light of hope that is Christ. The pale faces of Virgil and other characters reveal the anguish of knowing the they will never enjoy the presence of God. Eventhough, near the end of the Canto IV, Dante characterizes this circle as serene in comparisson with climate with storms and where no light shines that is properly Hell.
2) According to medieval theologists, this was the place where babies whithout being baptized rested. Also, this place exists for patriarchs, virtuous people whose only fault was not to be baptized. For his time, Dante was daring, because he gave more importance to figures like Aristotle and Homer than to the unbaptized infants. Some of the characters the Dante places in Limbo are easily known, like Aristotle, Democritus and Homer. He names many biblical figures, such as Noah, Abel and Moses. Dante meets many characters from Greek and Latin tradition. Naso and Lucan are some examples. Other characters are mythological: like Hector or Electra. There are also a muslims: Saladin, Avicenna and Averroes. This many characters make difficult to understand this circle, since they imply numerous traditions: poetry, philsophy, mathematics, heroes.
