What's An American?


                                                

                                                         "What is an American? "
                                                                                                                                                                              What is the true meaning of being am American?  Millions of people migrate into the United States in order to achieve their dreams and earn the title of an American. Many people leave their homes to start a new one here in the United States. In "What is an American?", " De Cre'vecoeur states he is either an European or the descendant of an European. I could point out to you a family whose grandfather was an Englishman, whose wife was Dutch, whose son married a french woman, and whose present four sons have four wives of different nations. He is an American."  This explains that not all Americans are suppose to be native to the United States in order to be considered as Americans. And those who are not native make a lot of sacrifices to make it to the United States, to complete their trip to America.
         Many people come to for their own reason's, mostly for a better life for themselves and their love ones. The United States is filed with many types of Americans that don't be necessarily have to be from the United States. A true American is someone who reaches there goals and if to reach their dreams they have to migrate to another country they should not be treated different because they are doing the impossible to  make their dreams come true. There are many people in America and they all have different dreams. We shouldn't judge people because they come from another country, we may know their name and where they're from but we don't know the story that made them take this decision. Many people, most of the people that come from foreign countries sacrifice many things in order to become an American.
          There are many different reasons why people immigrants come to this country.  De Cre'vecoeur said that "a man's country is now that which gives him land, bread, and protection."
