Simply put, America is the land of opportunity. In the past, immigrants have left most of their family, memories, and familiarities with their homeland in search of a better life in America, where jobs were easy to find and the economy was booming. These immigrants formed almost the entire American population, a demographic anomaly in which people from nationalities separated by land and sea; these people come from countries separated by expansive distances can live within the same neighborhood. Both Anna Quindlen with her essay “A Quilt of a Country” and John F. Kennedy with his essay “The Immigrant Contribution” have documented the story of these immigrants and what they have done to contribute to the great country of the United States of America. Both authors have written in their own unique style which has changed the reader’s perspective of their accomplishments, contributions, and sense of community in their new nation. In the essays “A Quilt of a Country” by Anna Quindlen and “The Immigrant Contribution by John F. Kennedy, they show similar writing styles by both using the formal diction in their writing, and contradict in the way that Quindlen takes a more poetic approach in her writing, while Kennedy, being the President of the United States, uses more sophisticated dictions.

On the other hand, the essays “A Quilt of a Country” by Anna Quindlen and “The Immigrant Contribution” by John F. Kennedy, they differ in the way that Quindlen tends to use the poetic diction in her writing, while Kennedy typically leans towards using the sophisticated diction in his writing. For example, in this passage found in Quindlen’s essay, the dictions of technical, poetic, and sophisticated are used. Quindlen writes: “Once these disparate parts were held together by a common enemy, by the fault lines of world war and the electrified fence of communism.” (Quindlen, 15) The poetic diction used in this section of the essay helps paint the picture that once, the United

In the early 1980’s, a group of young siblings living in poverty tell an important story of the immigrant experience. Reyna Grande’s, The Distance Between Us, is a memoir written with the recurring appeal to the reader’s pathos. Grande uses the rhetorical strategy to keep the reader’s interest and to help them make more connections to the story. Grande’s use of pathos helps to show not only the importance of understanding the immigrant experience, but the importance of following your dreams.

Immigration makes up of the United States. The life of an immigrant faces many struggles. Coming to the United States is a very difficult time for immigrant, especially when English is not their first language. In Oscar Handlin’s essay, Uprooted and Trapped: The One-Way Route to Modernity and Mark Wyman’s Coming and Going: Round Trip to America, both these essays describes the life of immigrants living in America and how they are able to make a decent amount of money to support their families. Handlin’s essay Uprooted and Trapped: The One - Way Route to Modernity explains how unskilled immigrants came to adapt to the American life working in factories to make a living. In the essay, Coming and Going: Round Trip to America, this essay describes the reality of many immigrants migrating to the United States in the midst of the Industrial Revolution. Many were living and adjusting to being transnational families. Both these essays show how the influx of immigration and industrialization contributed to the making of the United States. With the support from documents 3 and 7, Thomas O’ Donnell, Immigrant Thomas O’Donnell Laments the Worker’s Plight, 1883 and A Slovenian Boy Remembers Tales of the Golden Country, 1909, these documents will explain the life of an immigrant worker in the United States. Although, the United States was portrayed as the country for a better life and a new beginning, in reality, the United

In the story Quilt of a Country Anna Quindlen’s claim is that America is an “improbable” country and we have all come together as one community no matter what culture we are. Quindlen stated “of all nations in the world, the United States was built in nobody's image.” Of all nations we come together as one no matter the culture and nobody is able to do that. Other nations don’t except like the United States does. Quindlen also said “ America is an “improbable” idea, a mongrel nation built of ever changing disparate parts, it is held together by one nation, the notion that all men are created equal, though everyone knows that most men consider themselves better the someone.” This also proves her claim because all men are equal. If everybody

These two authors couldn't be more different, even though they both have similar views on the diversity and huge impact they have had they still share different thoughts. Quindlen wrote about the various cultures uniting as one while Kennedy wrote about way the immigrants have changed us by incorporating their lives into ours. Kennedy wrote about the contribution of immigrants when he wrote, “Yet each wave of immigration left its own imprint on society…(Kennedy 24).” Then Quindlen wrote about her view on the unity of cultures when she wrote, “Taking pride in this unlikely ability to throw all of us together in a country that across its length and breadth is as different as a dozen countries, and still be able to call it by one name.

Both Quindlen and Kennedy believed that immigration joins the country together. Although having the same belief, they also had different concepts when it came to the issue. However they also shared some similarities in their vision. Quindlen and Kennedy often shared the same idea but they had different opinions on ways to cope with the issues that are around us. These differences include, the purpose of immigration, if it’s helping and if it will be good in the long run. Each author however, has a different approach to this issue. Nevertheless, both Quindlen and Kennedy had well thought views about immigration and both of their stories were very intelligent and informal.

A Quilt of America and the Immigrant Contribution, both share same and different qualities, both are about the American society and many different aspects. They both about what the Country of America is made up or out of from. Which coming from immigration, some immigration grew and grew and the more and more they came, the bigger and better America was allied.

When you compare two pieces of writing, you will always find something that they both have in common and something that is different amongst the two writings. Likewise, the article about Immigrants and the story, “All Summer in a Day” have many ways that they are similar to each other and many ways that they are different. They both mainly have to do with how change can affect the way a person lives and how they view themselves.

Kennedy and Quindlen have similar writing styles; the main similarity is is how they use short sentences, outside sources, and quotations. The main difference, however, is how Quindlen uses a lot of questions, and Kennedy knows his information on the subject that he is talking about, and he doesn't feel the need of help from the reader or others, because he already knows the basic information. Both “A Quilt of a Country and” The Immigrant Contribution” discuss patriotism and immigration. Firstly, “Daniel Boorstin wrote,’ of all the nations in the world, the United States was built in nobody's image’” (Daniel Boorstin 14).

The story is based on how immigrants would tell their story of the struggles that they had faced on their journey to the USA. People would build these squares on a quilt and it would tell the story on how they came to the US. This is a good Example of American Identity Because how are people from time after they were Imigrated and they had passes on going to know some of the struggles they had to face to get to America and the life they have

Dinaw Mengestu, Richard Rodriguez and Manuel Munoz are three authors that have been through and gone through a lot of pain to finaly get accepted in their societies.

They all treated their problems differently an some tried to forget their old identeties and live as regulalr Americans others accepted themselves for being who they are, but they all found a way to deal with their issues.

My essay is about comparing and contrasting two stories. The first story is the quilt of a country. The second story is the immigrant contribution. The stories are both alike and different.
