In Quindlen’s short story A Quilt of a Country: Out of Many, One? she goes on to compare how America is built off of refugees and everyone is different. She compares the Arab cabbies to Jewish passengers, blacks to whites, gays to straights, left to right, Pole to Chinese, and Puerto Rican and Solvenian. She uses the idea of a quilt to compare it to the United States because were all different pieces that come together to form something magnificent, despite some drawbacks it might have.
I couldn’t agree with her more completely, I mean not everyone is going to get along with people. Your going to have some people that are set in their ways and do what they want to do. And big things like terrorist attacks and nation wide tragedies bring everyone closer due to the fact that something like this brings people together because they have that one things in common, for example the Arab cabbie and the Jewish passenger both could have lost someone in the World Trate Center accident.
