this is a new discussion: and these are the info that you need to answer: St. Jean de Crevecoeur was a French aristocrat. Not having grown up in America, he could observe with detachment and without particular loyalties to any group. He gives several characteristics in What is an American? that he sees in people of America during his extensive travels. He mentions social and economic equality. He also observes an ethnic mixture, though you’ll notice that his idea of diversity is not the same as ours. He also makes observations about religious mixing and tolerance.
No quiz on Crevecoeur
Discussion Question: Do you recognize any seeds in what Crevecoeur describes that are true today or else that foresee today?
and remember: For each of the stories , I’ve listed some topics for you to write a paragraph about. You may write on a topic I’ve listed, or you may choose to write on something else. It’s up to you; it doesn’t matter to me which you do.
IMPORTANT: Your paragraph must be at least 10 lines long. It can be longer, but it must be at least 10 lines.
You must make an honest effort to give a good answer which shows some thought. If all you do is summarize the story or state generalities, you will get no credit for your paragraph. You need details.
In addition to your original posting, you need to do one response to another posting. It must be at least 5 lines long. You can’t just say “I agree” or “That’s a good idea.” You must have some substance.
I’ve put the discussion dates on the discussion page right after the discussion question. Please take the dates seriously.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to notice that the quiz is open for only 3 days.
IMPORTANT: It is not necessary to do your original posting and your response at the same time. You can do the original, then later do your response. I try to keep up with grades as we go and will add the response when you do it.
