Exercise 2 on page 47
Analyze two quotes from essays you have written, basically stating what that quote means or is trying to say.
Quote 1: "America, known for being the “land of the free”, a capitalistic country where we have the freedom and equality that some countries lack and envy, but we are also known for other things." This quote is saying that although America seems to be this beautiful place where everyone is free to do what they please and everyone seems happy, there is an underlying issue that contradicts the claims that America is perfect in the eyes of the countries that envy us.
Quote 2: "America as a whole is deteriorating into this society of counting-calories where everyone is weird about how much food we all consume and how much food we don’t, and for what, the pursuit of the perfect body image?" This quote is stating that America is too worried about body image since we are known for having the highest obesity rate, and we've become so accustomed to counting calories that we can't even sit down and enjoy eating anymore, because we have to be so careful of what we're consuming. We've become "weird" about food.
I'm not really sure if I did this assignment correctly, I think this is the exercise you were referring to and I think this is what it's looking for? Let me know.
