Your review shares valuable insights derived from the book. Texts like this book contribute a lot in enlightening and motivating the citizens to move towards consciousness. Seema like this book does a great job at it. Only a tweak that I would suggest is that to try to use shorter sentences. In particular, one of your paragraphs is actually just one sentence.

Basically a book about America for Americans highlighting past and present. It highlights the growths and decline of the American society over the years and it’s a good read for every patriotic American. Congratulations on making BOTD

I agree that there has been a decline in identity in recent trends. There is so much hate, discrimination, and manipulation going around now, and I love that the book addresses most of these issues.

This book seems like it will benefit Americans most. The detail are things that Americans can relate to. I will want to read it, as I hope to migrate to the land of opportunities sometime.

Your review resonates with me, Rishaunda. I sampled this book with the feel of deep respect for the author who cared to bring up the issues of patriotism and of the "American spirit". I agree with you that this book is useful also for non-Americans as we can learn from the experience of the American people. The poem in the sample was awesome too. I feel it is a very worthwhile read that deserves all stars.

I really appreciate your thoughts on this. It's concerning to see how disconnected we’ve become from the values that have historically united us, especially in such turbulent times. The issues you raised hit home—it's frustrating to witness the rise of conspiracy theories and divisive politics that threaten our sense of community.I completely agree that 'American Papers: My Love Letters to America' is a timely read. Jayme’s insights remind us of the rich history and ideals that have shaped our identity. I was also moved by 'American Poem'; it beautifully highlights the strength and diversity of our resources and people.You make a great point about the book being valuable not just for Americans, but for readers everywhere. It’s a chance for all of us to reflect and learn. What do you think we can do at the local level to reignite that American spirit and foster unity again? I’d love to hear your ideas!

I admire the patriotic spirit of Americans. Despite the country's shortcomings, America has given its citizens a lot to be proud of.

I believe the author's rich recollection of American history will do a great job of reigniting the pride and patriotic spirit of American readers.

Sempre que reflito sobre a imagem atual dos Estados Unidos em comparação com a grandeza e a influência que tiveram no passado, não posso deixar de pensar que o livro "American Papers: My Love Letters to America", de Jayme Alencar de Oliveira Filho, serve como um aviso para o povo americano. Como poderão recuperar sua grandeza se não reavaliarem as bases estabelecidas por seus fundadores?

Definitely not my cup of tea, because I am not very skilled in an epistolary genre, especially directed not at the person, but the country. On a serious note, I am not American and really don't have much interest in their struggles, since my land has its own. Congrats with BOTD, anyway!
