(100 POINTS)
A quilt is an actual thing—a bed covering. How does the making of a quilt and the quilt itself relate to America? What else could the quilt as metaphor be used to describe?

How effective are the author's connections between a quilt and the different aspects of America?
Can you think of another example for which a quilt is an appropriate symbol, such as a family or a community?

It relates because a quilt is made of multipule different peices. This relates to America because of how diverse is america with different cultures and races of people. Since america is made out of so many different types of cultures and races, the author makes a connection with America and a quilt since both are constructed out of many different peices.

Another metaphor for a quilt would be "Life is like a Quilt".

It is effective because in a quilt the colors dont usally work together and make it look good since they are so random and different. The Author makes a connection of this difference with all the different races of America and the quilt because of how they all will all unite with eachother and hold together and stand as one and not individuals.

A great example of where a quilt would be a appropriate symbole would be any community since a lot of communities are made up of multipule different familys and/or cultures.
