1. I think there were many fresh ideas in this essay. I thought that the extended definition is a good way to really explain what a word really means.
2. I didnt actually understand what allusions meant in this essay. Sorry.
3. I thought the author did a fantastic job at dividing the topics of what a Yankee is and what a Yankee is not. i felt he balanaced these two very well and I now understand what the definition of a "Yankee" is.
4."To most Americans, though, the word Yankee means either the pin-striped New York baseball team or the Northern forces in the American Civil War, the soldiers from north of the Mason-Dixon Line. In time, though, the idea that the word Yankee suggests has shrunk geographically until it is on the verge of extinction"
My spring break was filled with adventure, unfortuantly, i don't have the time in this class to tell you about any of them. Just know I had fun-filled spring break!
