look the same or even sound the same‚ each American is different in their own way. There is not a description of a perfect “American Citizen”. America is a big “melting pot”. “The ideal of the melting pot symbolized the process of blending many strains into a single nationality and we have come to realize in modern times that the melting pot need not mean the end of particular identities or traditions.” (Kennedy‚ 27).
