Writing On The Wall: An American Identity

An “American” identity is made up of multiple things. Your identity is not you skin color nor religion, it’s rather you're devotion and preference. That doesn’t mean we need to all think the same and act the same. Your identity is all you. Many stories and even real life situations can help you understand how an “American” identity is created. In the story Writing on the Wall it really shows how different cultures and religions make up America. “Chinese immigrants who sought entry into America through the immigration station…”(Dungy 80). Chinese, African American, whatever you be, you can come to America, the author did an great job with her dialogue in describing this. Immigrants are what make up America and play a big role in the identity.
