If someone was asked the question “What is an American?”, how would he or she respond? Many might consider an American to be a person from the United States. However, some may discover a deeper meaning to this question and answer in a less literal way. The stories read in class from Unit One help the public to answer this puzzling question. Their description of American history gives insight about what the land was founded upon. Some impressions of the past are still seen in modern America. The common value of freedom by the Pilgrims, Olaudah Equiano, and fictional Rebecca Nurse in The Crucible and their need to fight for what they believe in, makes them very persistent people. When the Puritan Pilgrims and the slave Equiano came to America,

You walk into a high school classroom, you see students half asleep, some bored with the material, maybe even a handful being attentive and studious. You do not know these students and they do not know you, you are just a fly on the wall here. You look in the back corner, trying to hide away from the classroom, a student in a sweatshirt way too big for their body, baggy jeans and sneakers.

As the class leaves to go on to other subjects, you see that student appears to have feminine features hidden under all the baggy apparel. You might even think to yourself, “why is that girl dressed like she is wearing her

Evaluation Essay: Star Wars, A Revolutionary Franchise Few movie franchises have revolutionized the industry let alone affect daily American life, but through the cinematographic advancements made by George Lucas’ Star Wars both the industry and our culture have been set as the “Star Wars generation” (Constantine Hardings, New York Times, 1988).
