what does it mean to be an american?


            To be an American tome, means to be free. Being an American is a great thing, and many people want to come to America so that their kids can be American and have a better education. Being an American also means justice because every criminal pays for their crime committed and power because the U.S has a strong army. America is a powerful country with a strong army.
            I say to be an American means to be free because I feel that we are able to do what want to do, and we can say what we want to say when it is appropriate because it is not appropriate to say it when an officer of the law is talking to you. Being an American means you were born in America, and you have a great chance to be educated and go to college. It also means that you have a chance to learn and be what you would like to be.
            Being an American means to be able to work in a nice environment with good working conditions and getting payed a fair wage. It means that people will not, discriminate against you for where you are from where you are from or of the color of your skin. It also means you have right to elect your officials because this is a democracy which means the government is run by the people.

            To be an American means to be free and not be a slave. It means to be part of a strong nation and to be able to vote for which president you like. It also means not being made fun of or harmed because of your color, and it means receiving a great education free from kindergarten to grade 12.

  1. Your thesis statement wasn't strong enough.. you could of said the definition of an American, and started with your statement. Give more evidence or proof to your statement . You are stating what you do in America .

  2. In my opinion you are just stating what we are able to do in America not what it is to be an American.
