A Guilt Of A Country Analysis

Compare and contrast

Differences are the key development of the United States. In the stories “A Quilt Of A Country” and “Immigrant contribution” “One of America’s characteristics has always been the lack of rigid class structure” (J.F.K 24) we learn that immigration has had a lot of effects on America. This has forever changed our speech, traditions and even some cultures. When the immigrants came they brought their cultures with us, and that has stuck with us many Americans speak many languages and we would not be doing that today if it was not for the native speakers that came over here from their native countries. What we are today is more than likely made of something from overseas, we are not all native American, we had to get here some way and our ancestors or immigrants made it possible for us to have such a free, good life over here. They were escaping their problems and they caused less for us, we should all be thankful for where we live and truly embrace our culture.
“Tolerance is the word used most often” (A.Q,13) In “ A Quilt Of A Country” a main focus was tolerance and as the

immigrants migrated more and more into America the less tolerance people began to have with it. Once they were here they had to find homes, many immigrants were segregated from certain places because of segregation. People were not tolerating them, in the fact that they did not speak the same language as us, that they did not all look like us and they did not all have the same skin tone. Many people picked and picked because they thought they were somehow above or better than the immigrants, when truly not tolerating the immigrants coming to America made them the people that should not have been tolerated. People had to learn to coexist and tolerate the people they either disliked, or did not get along with. Without tolerance our world is nothing because, not everyone likes each other and not everyone gets along, but we can at least try to put in the effort and tolerate these certain people, to not disgrace or cause any more violence in this world.
In the “ The Stories Of An Immigrant Contribution” told us about how immigrants got here. They told us more about how immigrants were treated very badly because people had to tolerance and did not want to coexist they also could not get jobs because of this. Getting a house was even more difficult because they did not speak much English, and they could not talk to the people in the neighborhood, or the renter to pay the rent. As America changed, they have become tolerant and actually started enjoying coexisting with immigrants.
“This kind of coexistence succeeds different racial people live in the world and we need to live with it” (J.F.K 25) once someone comes into this country, they should be accepted.

People should not harm each other. In “A Quilt Of A Country” Anna Q taught us that we must tolerate each other. Harming others because we have different beliefs is not alright. In the “The Stories Of An Immigrant Contribution” taught us what happened before people were tolerated. When people have tolerance and they harm others it affects more than just the people intended to harm. When we talk about how other people have felt being attacked by others and still becoming famous and making money it can inspire them into coexisting with others. After you learn how to tolerate it can make the world a lot better place. These writings had very similar points but also very different

perspective.
“Differences are the key declaim of the U.S” (A.Q 14)
In “A Quilt Of A Country” and “The Story Of An Immigrant Contribution” we learn that no matter what or who difference will make America what it is. If America had all of the same people it would be boring. If we say go somewhere such as Chinatown and there's all different Races there it's not because they all want to be Chinese it's because they all want to know what it's like. If America did not have these different cultures from immigrants we wouldn't know. A lot of places make money off of places like Chinatown. These being there attract people and people bring money. Take a second and think of America with only one race, it seems crazy but it's true. If it wasn't for immigrants we’d all have similar skin tones and eye colors and hair. We all love hearing stories from how people got here without immigration and differences we wouldn't hear those stories. America would be a completely changed place today without immigrants. We have many things because of the immigrants , they have forever changed America and made it the place it is and that is a great thing.
