Sometimes we as people have to actually experience things first hand rather than someone tells a person about their own precipitance of something. Different people having different stances

The truth is Gregor had put himself into a position of demise long ago. Over the years‚ he had worked himself into both physical and mental exhaustion.

My idea of what an American is could be considered old fashion and would probably fit better in Benjamin Franklin’s era than the current time period. Most people have heard the saying‚ “as American as mom‚ baseball and apple pie”‚ however‚ I feel that what makes a person an American is deeper and more meaningful than that.
