In the short stories, “A Quilt of a Country” and “Immigrant Contribution”, there are many similarities and differences. They both talk about how immigration has affected religion, the dinner table, community and individualism, and how the nation has been held together. All of those things are affected by immigration both legal and illegal. Both of these short stories are about how America has been affected by immigration, and the similarities and differences of the stories.
Both articles talk about how immigrants are treated differently than regular Americans. Both articles have the same views. As stated in “A Quilt of a Country”, “communities added to individualism” (Quindlen 14). However there is one difference.
