Answer:
Despite our many differences, Americans have always come together every Independence Day to celebrate our national birthday. Which is truly fitting. From the nation’s beginnings, our leaders have warned that strength can be found only in unity.
George Washington said that “the bosom of America” was open to all, but only if they were willing to be “assimilated to our customs, measures, and laws: in a word, soon become our people.” Alexander Hamilton said the nation’s future would depend on its citizens’ love of country, lack of foreign bias, “the energy of a common national sentiment, [and] a uniformity of principles and habits.”
Explanation:
Indeed, the one sure way to bring down America, according to Theodore Roosevelt, “would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities,” each insisting on its own identity. And Woodrow Wilson said flatly, “You cannot become thorough Americans if you think of yourselves in groups. America does not consist of groups. A man who thinks of himself as belonging to a particular national group has not yet become an American.”
Answer:
The sadness of death.
Explanation:
Sandra Cisneros' <em>The House on Mango Street</em> is a collection of short narrative stories about a young girl Esperanza. The book contains numerous short stories under different titles telling a story of specific parts of her life.
The vignette "Papa Who Wakes Up Tired Early in the Dark" tells the story of how his hardworking father had to go to their ancestral home for the death of her abuelito. She saw her "poor papa" crying as if he had just heard the news all over again.
"Born Bad," tells the story of how Aunt Lupe lived her life in darkness, for she was blind. And when she died, Esperanza declares "And then we began to dream the dreams".
"Geraldo No Last Name" is a story about Geraldo who had died in an accident and Marin was the last to see him alive. She did not know his last name, nor does she know a lot about the dead guy for why does it matter? But the narrator states <em>"the ones he left behind are far away, will wonder, shrug. remember. Geraldo-he went north ... we never heard from him again".
</em>
All three vignettes have a common theme of the sadness of the death of a person and how it affects others no matter what they may have thought of him/ her while he/ she was living.
A sense of order and it helps the reader understand exactly what’s happening and when.
