The things that are unique about American literature is that we all live similar lives. As in, the things we have in common with each other, day by day we go about our lives doing pretty much all the same things like; we get up go to school and work, eat gunk food, come home, be lazy while sitting on the couch watching TV, then go to sleep and repeat the same thing the next day. Also, we have the same short of goals and dreams. It all starts in kinder garden when we see our roll models being big stars and people who save lives. Then, we hope someday we will grow up to be someone like them.
Stories, poetry, plays and novels created by Americans tell us that American culture is we have to many stereotypes. For example, the mid eastern people think we are all evil and the European people think we are rich snobs. I don't believe in stereotypes because you shouldn't judge anyone before you meet them no matter what culture or race you are and most the time you will be surprised that their not who you thought they were. Its great to be an American because most countries don't come even close to having the rights we have and we don't realize how much we take advantage of that.
