The American Story is different for everyone. Americans story can be told from different sides because everyone has been affected in different ways. The story is written by white men speaking from their experience trying to make American sound like something it isn't, never told the full truth about America. Overall, the American story is all of the stories from different people to tell their side of history.

The American story is told in different ways throughout our lives. It goes through big events to the smallest events. As the story goes it will change and people will have different stories about it. It makes it hard for people because they hear so many different stories and in there head it is like they have to choose which story they believe. They will most likely say that everyone is created equal and we have equal rights but, once they hear the other stories they will find out all the different perspective on how they feel about the statement.

America has gone through many changes and events that have ranged from big to small that many people have had to experience in their own life. All the people that have experienced these events all have their own story to tell about it, so Americas story can not be told as just one story because these are more than just one to be told. We all fit into Americas story by this rare experience in time that we all have to live through and we can all tell the story of the year 2020 in many different ways.

Americas has gone through so many massive changes and major events that there is not just one story nor is there only one storyteller. Americas story can be told from many different sides because it affected each side differently than the other as it always has and will. If all people were Unified than their would be only one story but unfortunately , we are not. Many people taint their stories in order to make it as if those people were the hero's, and that others were the villain. Those that are in power do this and it is very dangerous.

The American story has always been told from many different sides. So there isn't just "One particular American Story." So its hard to determine which story is the right one, which one isn't filled with any bias and is the real thing. Who gets to tell the story is hard because if told by others besides America it will most likely be biased but if told by us it will refer to us as the "good guys" all the time.

The American story is truly different for everyone, everywhere around the United States. It evolves differently for a middle-aged white man living in Beverly Hills than a young black teen living in Inglewood. Although my rights are overlooked and discriminated against everyday, I know that without my race, the American story would be lost. Even though we are all Americans living in America on the same grounds, we are all looked at differently based off our race. The American story will continue to change everyday because of the constant struggle of the minorities that American doesn't want to accept. I know that my future lays out the future for every upcoming generation. The way someone in California would tell their story is completely different than someone in Texas. The constant factors of our social class, race, age, social location, and identity changed our views on the American story and our own American story. No matter how "unbias" someone claims their American story is, we all live through different experiences that change our view on the American story.

America's story is different for everyone. It depends on how people view different issues or topics that happen in our country and what we think is right. I think the American story from my perspective is messed up. We contradict each other based on race and discriminate against each other, thinking that our opinions are correct, but are instead hurtful to others. Especially now in this pandemic, our story has a big plot hole with what is going to happen after we finally find a solution to the virus.

Based on what I have seen so far, the American story has only been told by white men. This country suffers from the worst white supremacy, racism and discrimination, etc. The only stories that somehow 'resonate' with me are those immigration. I am a citizen of the United States, but these stories being told seem to accuse all Latinos of being illegal. America became a land full of immigrants centuries ago, yet the Europeans believe they are native to this country and see everyone but themselves as less than what we are. I have huge hope that we can live in a world where we can all tell our own stories and consider it the American Story.

American history and the reality of America is never presented from an unbiased point of view. Stories are only ever told my the white man and the people in power. It has been and will continue to always be this way. The truth will never be uncovered and if it is, it will be painted to be untrue. People will pick and choose what they want to believe no matter how clear the reality of this country is being told. America's "story" is nothing but the opinions of racists who abuse their power only to benefit themselves.

I don't think there is only one American story, I believe it has changed through out history. There is only one that is told, one that makes out America being "great." America differs for the diverse population.

Americas story is always changing, with each new major event taking place, such as presidential elections, foreign policies, riots/protests, war, and many other major events that take place.

The true american story has been erased and hidden by the white man in power since the first Americans migrated and stole this land. I wish to continue to be part of the story where our country finally receives justice.

America has kept the same foundations which created it since the beginning although, America story has evolve over the year. However, its still systematic causing minorities, Native Americans,  and immigrants are dealing with the same problems that they had almost 200 years ago. The people who get to tell the story are usually people with the same opinion or race as their ancestors. Most of them are white washing history into a way that children grow up believing America story was beautiful except horrific like it is with every other country. It is a fact that almost every country was built from a groups stealing other people's ancestral lands and removing any items or statues that left behind when they either slaughtered or forced into union. The white washing has also made people forget that slaves build many of the building that people live in, minorities who worked to build up this country's economics and financially, and Native Americans used to own this land.

The American story has been skewed over the years because of the point of view of the person telling it, and how valid their information is. This is very important to understanding the American Story. So you could say that the American Story is all the stories of different people of different races and genders all combined to make its history.

America's story is evolving rapidly with each election and the major events that have recently changed history. I fit in this American story with the rest of my generation, we are the future leaders and we each have power. I relate mostly to the native American unit, those are my ancestors and had lived here the longest.

America's story is told by it's history and that history is written by whoever had the chance to write it. The story is written from white men about the white men and how great they were and all the good things that they did for this country but in reality that is never the full truth. America's story is based off lies and making the white man look great. The American story is built off lying and hiding the truth and trying to make people fall into this false propaganda of what is right or wrong and even judging people based of where they come from or the color of their skin.

America's story has been changing and will always be changing. Minorities have been dealing with problems throughout their whole live and nothing will change that because of who they are. America is told by the white man. But I believe that America's history shapes itself in a way by the people. I also don't think that the white man is who created America how it is today and may not tell the truth about America's history.

America is a very diverse place in both mentalities, cultural norms and people. It has a long history that keeps changing when you ask different people, no one know the true history of America unless you were there. Throughout the history of the earth settlers have come and gone from America rapidly changing the very fabric of what an American is. I think we should all be able to tell the story of America, because not one person should be given the pressure of such a event

America’s story is filled with a lot of pain and bloodshed due to the power hungry individuals, because even in the beginning of of our country that was never meant to belong to Americans but natives. The land we all stand on is stolen and even today we’re still fighting against those evil powers which is our own government for numerous different reasons. Currently we are fighting for our rights as citizens but also our human rights because they are trying to take that away from us which is where I come in since this controls who I meet and love while also how my future will treat me. We have not evolved at all if anything we have fallen even further and not just as people but as a country together.

The American story has been told but it was twisted in such a way that it does not revel the truth  about America. In my point of view the one's who get's to tell the story are the non-Americans who are sometimes treated in such a way that they start to question them self why they left their country to come to American to be treated like this.

America's story is told by the white man. But he doesn't tell all of america's story, not even half of it. What made America what it is today is the native americans who found it and were robbed of their land. African americans, who were dehumanized and oppressed for more than 400 years. All of the people who were oppressed by the white man should be able to tell America's story because those are the people who made it what it is today.

America has many stories but only one is told

America's story is told by the average white man. In history books it is very white washed and kids are taught wrong information or information that has been "white washed". There are so many ways and variations that people tell the "American Story". I think that there is still so much we don't know about the start of this country.

america has a variety of versions of how history went down so I don't know who should tell it. Its been told many ways because theres a lot of bias, false information, information that s missing or facts that aren't even spoken of. My history teacher was talking about the history of native americans vs the white men and African Americans and pos vs white America but he barely even mentioned the important events that occurred to those who suffered because of white America. He spoke of how asian immigrants have always and will always be treated differently than European immigrants. But he never spoke of what horrors occurred because Asian immigrants were mistreated. How Columbus is not the founder of America and isn't the image we thought he was when we were in elementary school was barely spoken about. He mentions how africans were brought to America as slavesb by the white man because they were different. But he didn't speak about the people who have stories from being taken from their home and brought to America to be tortured.

-No one person should tell it. The story itself is shaped by thousands of people that have something to say, whether it be right or wrong. Whether it be truthful or not. Even the lies shape this narrative.

In the history books, America's story is all about the white man. However, the white man hasn't created all of what America is today. America's story starts way before colonizers to the native americans, that is the first group of people who is able to tell America's story. They have been here before the white man, and they have watched the white man ruin, destroy and take over their home. Additionally, America wouldn't be the America it is today, if it weren't for the oppressed and minorities who have faced discrimination, who had no rights, and have fought to make the statement "land of the free" true. Yet, America's story is an open book, and only those who want to change, and edit the book for a good cause can speak about America's story
