Answer:

In paragraph 8 of the write-up "Quilt of a Country", the author - Anna Quindlen  having analysed the sociological makeup of America, its unity regardless of the foundational dissimilarities refers to the act of complaining about other people who are different as pride.

He makes this assertion then goes on to justify why by relating the fact that the deaths toll of 9-11 does not comprise of one category of people.

It can also be inferred that he alludes to the fact that if terrible times such as wars and terrorism can equalise us and bind us together, how much more unified should we be in the time of peace?

Cheers

Imagine there was a shipwreck. You are stranded in a lifeboat with a tiger. Both of you are hungry and thirsty. You fear the tig
Triss [41]

Answer and Explanation:

You: I can tell by the look in your eyes that you're thinking of eating me.

Tiger: That's true. I am indeed.

You: Well, I'd like to advise you against that. If you eat me, your chances of surviving afterwards will diminish.

Tiger: I doubt that. If I eat you, I will gain strength. Consequently, I'll be able to survive for a few more days. That might be enough for a ship to show up and rescue me.

You: That reasoning is good, but flawed. Yes, you will gain strength that will last for a few days. However, if a ship does not show up in a few days, you will die. Fishing is not one of your abilities as a tiger, so you won't catch anything to eat after devouring me. Also, if a ship does show up, the crew may very well be afraid of taking you with them for fear that you might attack and eat them.

Tiger: I see... go on.

You: If you keep me alive, we will solve all of those issues. I can fish for the both of us. We'll both maintain our strength until a ship shows up, even if it takes long. When that happens, they will certainly take us in. I will vouch for you, letting them know you were civilized enough not to eat me. Therefore, they can trust you not to eat them.

Tiger: I see your point, and it is a good one. I promise not to eat you if you promise to keep your word.

You: I promise. We have a deal.
