What An American Is

It's hard to describe precisely what an American is. There are many different types of Americans. Some are patriotic and proud to be an American; some aren't. Americans are part of a powerful and growing nation. Americans are consumers, though they should think about what they're consuming. Americans tend to think of themselves as being part of the greatest country in the world. Americans are dependent on other countries, as others are on America. Americans live in a democracy, and a free country. Americans today are busy with everyday lives, all striving for the American dream. A great life is possible in America because of the hard work of past Americans and present Americans.
