Answers to the Crevecoeur reading are due Wednesday 10/10. The reading is here and the questions you need to answer (either print them or copy them into your notebook) are as follows:
1. According to Crevecoeur, what
characteristics do Americans possess? Why do they possess these traits
(what experiences have helped form them)? Provide several examples from
the reading as evidence.
2. According to Crevecoeur,
how are Americans different from Europeans, and how is life in America
distinctly different from life in Europe?
3. This piece was written
in 1780, but could it have been written earlier than 1780? Are the traits
described the same as those Americans possess today? Explain:
We'll be moving on to chapter 4 in Brinkley: for Friday 10/12, please read pages 98-107 (the first two pages of the chapter, with the timeline and image of the Boston Massacre, are included in this, so definitely pay attention to them). Please read carefully and be very mindful of detail in this chapter and the next.
