The author writes that “the desire for land of one’s own constituted a powerful force as fact and myth among Americans.” Why do you think this was and is it still the case in America? Use examples from both the text and from contemporary America to support an argument of no less than 250 words.

The question above seeks to analyze your interpretation of the author's statement. As this is something very personal, I cannot write an answer for you, but I will show you how to write it.

The sentence presented by the author states that:

The desire to own land encourages the patriotism of a people.
This desire creates a strong attachment and recognition of individuals as a nation.
This makes everyone fight to protect this land and not allow others to control it.
This feeling can be seen in the inhabitants of the country, but it is also a myth because nowadays, no one had to defend the land with such force of will.

Based on this type of interpretation, you can adapt the author's thoughts to current American society, emphasizing how patriotism, the desire for dominance is a reality and a myth for that society.
