Read the excerpt from "A Quilt of a Country."
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Quindlen uses the context of American diversity to help readers rethink the concept of American identity and understand that she supports the idea of unity among Americans of all cultures.

Explanation:

At the beginning of this text Quindlen criticizes the false union that America shows before the great diversity that the nation possesses. Throughout the text Quindlen expresses how this diversity presents itself as unmixed pieces that do not unite. however, the end of the text reinforces the idea that just like a patchwork, America should be united, it should be a single organism composed of several different parts that unite in something bigger and better.

The part of the text that shows this more explicitly is:  "<em>That's because it was built of bits and pieces that seem discordant, like the crazy quilts that have been one of its great folk-art forms, velvet and calico and checks and brocades. Out of many, one. That is the ideal</em>.<em>"</em>
