The main idea/claim of ''A Quilt Of A Country'' is that America is corrupted, since it was built on the consistently of failure and various discordant concepts like unity through the years. It still is relevant in 2021 since things like; racism, immigration discourages unity by tons, and now our own standards have weakened. How immigration is taken from the tolerance of Americans, helps nobody, as well of racism has expanded even more throughout the years. Consistently stated by historians and more that America was born on corruption and constant conflict, which furthur supports the main idea.

Firstly, the idea of conflict is politically instigated within protest of injustice and other conflicts. As well of ideas of tolerance of immigration, and the differences between ethnicity and race, but an widely known event known as 9/11 has instigated this conflicts within america. From how Muslims, African Americans are treated though actions of unity brought most people around the world to rebuild on themselves past the fatal event. In the text ¨Children learn in social studies class and in the news the lynching of blacks , the denial to rights of women , the murders of gay men." speaks on the idea of hatred and brings up multiple cases in society in which is toxic, corrupt and overall an burden which pulls down Americas image.

In 2021, rapid amounts of rants involving, protests of student care and faculty, same-sex petitions, all are brought up in an divide of America, that this country will forever be divided. Only in certain cases will their be unity thus allowing many communities and individuals to gather as one. Most nowadays are shown an common enemy in which they relate to, and drives the case of it.

" A Quilt of a Country ", the main concept of this story is breaking down how the image of America no matter the image that we are this large "melting pot" . Then why does everyone still hate each other, or act as if they do? Asking if it is still relevant today, the answer would be yes. There are many instincts where people get treated differently from where they are from. Many people come here for freedom only to get treated differently if not worse and told to leave or they are not welcome at all. But America loves to take pride in the diversity that was created here.

The text states, " Children learn in social studies class and in the news the lynching of blacks , the denial to rights of women , the murders of gay men". " ... yet speak in theory of hatred, one for the other? What is the point of a nation in which one part seems to be always on the verge of fisticuffs with another, blacks and whites, gays and straights, left and right, Pole and Chinese and Puerto Rican and Slovenian?" .

Those are examples only from the text alone, not including real life examples like protest, petitions for same sex marriage, go-funds mes and meetings for women who boy-cot the right to have an abortion. These are all still relevant points because they are still happening. The author goes to say that America fits no ones images , or expectations, I think that's because it just can't. There's so much that people want to fix. But the only time there is every unity is for the ideal that their is a common enemy.

The theme of a Quilt if a Country is that we need to work together with others for the good of the country. When America works week together, it is a wonder. It stands for something special in the world because it has managed to stay together as a whole rather than splitting up because of cultural differences. This is still relevant today in 2021 because the world still has a problem with different cultures and still needs to working on getting along together. social movement, formed in the United States in 2013, dedicated to fighting racism and anti-Black violence, especially in the form of police brutality. In the text, paragraph 2 it says "Slavery and sweatshops, the burning of crosses and the ostracism of the other. Children learn in social studies class and in the news of the lynching of blacks, the denial of rights to women, the murders of gay men. It is difficult to know how to convince them that this amounts to “crown thy good with brotherhood,” that amid all the failures is something spectacularly successful. " meaning that kids these days are learning about history and what happened then that's still some happening till this day. It difficult to provide the kids with good history and information because everything was just wasn't right or worked together. Some real life examples are that, police are killing iniscent people because of there race or how they look.

In the text A Quilt Of A Country, the claim is that america is so different and Balkanized among each other, that there is too much diversity to get along with each other. america had been facing this problem ever since it was founded. all different ethnicity's having there own culture in america bumping heads on almost every thing.all of theis  problems are still being worked out today. with the first and main problem is prejudice and tunnel vision.

All people are similar in one way of another. yet people only care about how different they all are so there cant ever be a resolution to the problem and blessing of diversity. It states in the text"saying that clinging to ethnicity, in background and custom, has undermined the concept of unity". This is stating that people now and back then were so caught up on how they where different  that there couldn't be any peace between the multiply ethnicity.

According to the text or the main idea on " A quit of A country " American is different there's been ethnicity /race problems 9/11 The National September 11 Memorial & Museum is a memorial and museum in New York City commemorating the September 11,2001 attacks which killed 2,977 people and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing which killed six.

This stories main idea of the story 'A quilt of a  country" is that america is just like a quilt everybody is different in their own way. 9/11 is a day that will never be forgotten.This day brought everyone and their differences together  for once.America's diversity brought us together that day.

For example, in passage 5 of the essay she explained how 9/11 brought all races together.Blacks and whites ect. struggle to agree on certain topics but , in case of emergency we settle of differences and focus on whats more important.She also talks about homophobia and equal right for women.she also talks about how your race,sexuality,and or ethnicity can make others look at you differently.She states in paragraph 5 that no matter how many obstacles america has had in the past we have stayed together as a whole.

These arguments are very valid in 2021 because we are still dealing with the same problems. A lot of citizens of america disagree with the actions of the citizens dealing with these problems today.I think these topics are relevent because citizens of america a still being mistreated by other citizens of american just because they don't agree with the decision they make.America is a country that's filled with people from all of the world.Because of this other citizens mistreat them because of who they are what they like and what they look like.

The main idea of this passage is that the U.S. and many other counties/people should come together instead of looking at each other's differences. In my opinion I do believe that the problems that are in the passage are still relevant and I also believe that the U.S. is a cause of many problems.
Some of the reasons I agree with the passage are because ever since 9/11 there have been more racial comments made towards Iranians and people who may look Muslim, Also because African Americans have been oppressed by many different races for long times. Another reason why I agree is because men and women didn't have as many opportunites until a certain point in time.                                                               Evidence for the passage is that on the front page of the passage it states how many people not just in the U.S. face many different issues with multiple things. Racial riots, Women rights actovist, and Same sex marriage/LGBTQ have been the main focus in 2020 and 2022.

Yes, the main idea of "The Quilt of a Country" is still relevant today in 2021 because in the passage it talks about racism, how people cant have same sex marriage, and how women don't have the same rights as men. All those things still happen in 2021. Racism has always been a thing, people get discriminated because of their skin tone and where they come from. They are a lot of stereotype about how all black people are "thugs" and how every Mexican/Hispanic are "drug lords". A lot of Hispanics get told to go back to their country, or to stop speaking Spanish, people don't understand the main reason a lot of people immigrate here. They will never understand because of their "privilege" they will never understand how children drop out of school to help their parents working.

This passage talks about how this devastating attack happened and many lives where lost but also after the attack all the Muslims race where being discriminated. Back then there where a lot of discrimination but the passage said that they had put there differences aside for once because they had just been attacked but when they found out Muslims where the one who attacked they fired all Muslims from work and made them leave . The main idea of this story is that all these people come to america so many races but knowing that we are so different we are clashing and a lot of racism and discrimination is happening between all these races. The main idea is still relevant today in 2021.  We still are dealing with some racism and

The text "A Quilt of a country" is still relevant to today society in many ways. The story talks about how America is and how it is going about things in all the wrong ways. Some examples are, America still treats it's immigrants and people of color badly. The narrator used the word tolerate to justify her claim. I agree, because nowadays America does tolerate it's immigrants and people of color.

It's still racism going on and just hate in general. Another example is America thinks that its the best country of all time and that's far from the truth. The first few lines of the text says, "America is an improbable idea. A mongrel nation built of ever-changing disparate parts, it is held together by a notion, the notion that all men are created equal, though everyone knows that most men consider themselves better than someone." Most people want to come to America for equal rights and freedom.

Although we do have freedom (which sometimes can be a bad thing), we aren't all equal. We all still get hate, whether it's racism, homophobia etc. No one in America is really treated equally. Another example is how although we are all diverse we can still come together, but it never really works out. When 9/11 happened all of America came together, but that's when people started to treat Muslims, Islamic, Pakistani, etc, people wrong. Every Muslim or Islamic person they saw they would atomatically think they were a terrorist or that they had something to do with 9/11 happening.

Although America came together, they started to hate other people in the process. Another example of how America can come together but it never really goes well is, when every race or ethnicity comes together as a unity. It's great at first because people of all different cultures and backgrounds are all together and unified, but it eventually doesn't work out because we are so different and since we've been hated on, we aren't really good together yet. The text still explains all of these examples in very brilliant ways, and all of this stuff is still happening today.

The main idea of the passage is divide that people had at the time. i think this is still very relevant in today's world. As the war in the middle east comes to a close islamophobia rages on.  Troubles at home are even worse most people are still at odds about the george floyd cases or the abortion laws in texas. it seems that american is as divided as it will ever be.
yet there st- unfinshed

The main idea of this story is still relevant to real-life events. Our country is thought of as a quilt. All the events that have happened are pieced together to make America look nice and peaceful but, truly are terrible and destructive. Paragraph 1 Sentence 4 "It was built of bits and pieces that seem discordant, like the crazy quilts" like 9/11, The Post War United State, and Great Depression and World War 2.

Our country was once held up altogether as a family but, divided by a common enemy. After the war, they didn't have anything to argue to fight about so they decided to start hating each other causing us to separate. Paragraph 5 Sentence 2 "With the end of the cold war there was the creeping concern that without a focus for hatred and distrust, A send of national identity would evaporate, side of the hyphen-- African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American-would overwhelm the right. And slow-growing domestic traumas like economic unrest and increasing crime seemed more likely to emphasize division than community."

The main idea of "Quilt of a country" is about how people in different countries has their differences and things against each other. Compared to now there is a lot of racism going around between white police men and and black people as you can see the symbol in the picture re represent Black lives Matter and it shows all the blacks who lost their life to a white policemen.

In the text she talks about how "children learn in social studies class and in the news of the lynching of blacks, basically what shes trying to say is blacks has been treated differently since 1619 of slavery and segregation started in the late 19 century and that all didn't end until the African Americans started to fight back for their rights.And now its just us being treated differently and not only that people that are different colors other white or different religion are treated wrong also when they see a Indian people are so quick to think they're a tourist and they try to hurt those people because of the 9/11 experience.

I feel like every country should all put aside there differences and hatred aside and come together and be united as one "America".We shouldn't have to fight right of our religion and skin color.People want America to be one country of all different races and cultures that excepts everyone for who they are. Patriotism however taking pride in how unlikely it will be for all of us to come together. an no matter what we are or where we come from we all come together.

The main idea of "A Quilt Of A Country" is that when we as America have a common enemy we come together and fight that enemy. But when we don't have a common enemy we think that the people around us are the enemy. This is still relevant in todays society because most people in America are against each other because of their race. Even though the text was written a decade ago it still describes today's America.

There is plenty of evidence proving that "A Quilt Of A Country" describes todays society. In the text it states "What is the point of a nation in which one part seems to be always on the verge of fisticuffs with another, blacks and whites, gays and straights, left and right, Pole and Chinese and Puerto Rican and Slovenian?". When the narrator wrote this question she was describing the society she lived in which was a decade ago. But yet she perfectly described todays society. The narrator also stated "Terrorism has led to devastation-and unity.", the narrator was describing the 9/11 attack and how it affect us as a country. This part of the text also described the war in afghanistan perfectly.

There are many real life examples that support the claim that "A Quilt Of A Country" is still relevant in todays society. A real life example of this is the war in afghanistan, this war started in 2001 and ended in 2021 Agust 30. Another real life example is events that took place after George Floyds murder. George Floyds murder inspired people to stand up for black people and started movements that state "Black Live Matter". A white man killed George because he was black, which is evidence of the claim that the text is still relevent to this day.

Yes, it is still relevant because even a few years later some people fight against each other cause they have differences or different ideas but could still come together, in the paragraph, they state " Other countries with such divisions have in fact divided into new nations with new names, but not this one, impossibly interwoven even in its hostilities."

In the paragraph they state " Once these disparate parts were held together by a common enemy, by the fault lines of world wars and the electrified fence of communism." they have a common enemy and it would make them come together. what I've seen is when there is a common enemy people will team up to take them whether it be in a game, online, or the real world.

In the paragraph, they state "Terrorism has led to devastation--and unity." this proves that even during hard times, different types of ethnic groups can still come together. during 9/11 this proved this a lot because when 9/11 happened everyone came together to help each other.

The main idea of "A Quilt of a Country" is that we all nee to work together for the better of our country. This is where we all need to stop and do better things for the country. The better the people in the country the better the country. This will have more people want to come to this country and stay. This is still relevant today in 2021 because there is lots of time for us to stop and better our country.

In the text it says "Today the citizens of the United States have come together once more because of armed conflict and enemy attack. Terrorism has led to devastation—and unity." This relates to the main idea because U.S. citizens have came together to stop most of the terrorism and try to help better our country. It also states that "America is an improbable idea." This means that the U.S. is not great but it is great enough. It is great enough for the country to get better.

In today's life there are plenty example of how you can better your country.

The main idea of '' A Quilt Of a Country'' is that country's should come together and unite as one.  A lot of this stuff that the passage is talking about its still going on today. In fact like the war in Afghanistan which ended not to long ago. Another thing that is still going on is racism not for only black but for all races. I feel like the passage is talking about all the bad stuff that going on. The title of the story is '' A Quilt Of a Country'' and a quilt is made with different patches of other fabric. Also different sizes. Which is saying how different country should come together as one nation.
