"A Quilt of a Country: Out of Many, One?"

In Anna Quindlen's article "A Quilt of a Country: Out of Many, One?" she points out how America is just like a quilt. We are made up of different ethnicities and different religions, we can be white or black, straight or gay. America is made out of different pieces and different fabrics, but we are all one united front, no matter what our differences are. People of these different religions and ethnicities may hate eachother, but in times of need we all come together to support one another.

I agree totally with what she's trying to say. Take September eleventh for example, our nation was targeted by terrorists and even though they tried to bring us down, we became a stronger country for a period of time. We all may have different backgrounds and we may hate eachother for one thing or another, but when our country is in trouble we forget our differences to help those in need.
