My Responsibility to America My responsibility is putting America first. We have tons of rights but with those rights comes major responsibilities to take on. Not only with ourselves but with our nation. Ronald Reagan once said‚ “We are a nation that has a government – not the other way around.

However‚ other

America Gift to My Generation American soldiers are everything‚ They are our community they are the history they are the future. They are the reason why we are even writing this essay. I am so thankful for the people who have served because if it wasn’t for them we would be somewhere else‚ we could be in another country‚ we could be slaves.

American Ignorance America is becoming a country full of “incurious know-nothings.” This statement was made by Andrew Romano on his essay How dumb are we?

On the text he refers to American citizens as dumb and ignorant‚ and in my opinion‚ he is quite right on that

“My Responsibility to America” As Chris Keniston said “ I am a guardian of the constitution. I am a defender of Liberty. I am a line in the sand… Which shall not be crossed. I AM SOMEONE!” As Americans we have our own responsibilities in our lives‚ but have we ever sat down and thought about what our responsibility is to our country and how can we accomplish this responsibility?

As I walked up the stairs of a school in a foreign country‚ I felt my fingers slowly lose grasp of my books. In school every pair of eyes set on my nervous smile and my wandering eyes dancing to every corner. And as I said my first word in my accent‚ everyone started laughing. That’s how I started my journey in America. My parents moved here from India when I was in 9th grade. When I landed in Los Angeles‚ the enthusiasm soon turned into weariness. The streets were filled with unknown faces and voices

My favorite text was by far Sula‚ by Toni Morrison. This novel was one that I understood well‚ including the metaphors‚ plot‚ character development‚ and more. Sula as a whole was very interesting to me. After just a few chapters‚ I couldn’t put the book down. The storyline was very compelling‚ as were a lot of the characters. In comparison to others‚ this book was the easiest read‚ and had an excellent flow‚ which isn’t to say that I don’t like a challenge when I read my books‚ but the writing being
