Quindlen links the conclusion to the introduction of her essay with the words "like many improbable ideas, when it works, it's a wonder", which is very close to her claim in the overall text, "America is an Improbable idea", it isn't supposed to work but it does despite all of the differences, specifically racial or ethnic, within it.
Anna Quindlen uses these specific words and phrases to link the conclusion to her introduction in "A Quilt of a Country," calling the United States "a mongrel nation" made up of "disparate parts."
A mongrel is a dog of diverse breed, and this supports her argument that the United States is a "quilt" which is usually made from many different pieces.
Thus, a mongrel remains one dog, though it is bred from diverse parents, just as a quilt remains a piece of cloth woven with different pieces of materials.
