National Identity?

Lawrence Grossberg's "Youth and American Identity" I found to be very boring. It was just going on about nothing. I don't have the attention span to read something like that, even if it is two pages long. All it talked about was youth as an American identity and that The United States is a country of immigrants. Mary Gordon's "More Than Just a Shrine" I found to be some what more interesting. It talked about historic events that I had never knew about. It was very interesting to see how they labeled the immigrants who passed through Ellis Island with letters to distinguish people with diseases and what diseases they had. It was something interesting to read since I had never read anything about it before.
