VALB Sticky Notes

Miss. Bryant | 4th Pd

Materialism/Acquisitiveness 

Some Americans looks at citizens as materials.

For example:

In Requiem for american dream, Nudam Chomsly said, “elections are not about the people or anyone, it’s an advertisement.

Directness / Openness / Honesty

The truth will set you free.

For example:

If you lie and add another lie to cover the last lie, you’ll have to keeping lying and sooner or later you will lASose the trust of your friends and family.

Informality

Some Americans think being formal is “un-American”.

For example:

In the story, “TKAM”,  the children was treating elders without respect. Like when Atticus got onto the kids for treating Mrs. Dubose without respect.

Self- Help

 Achieving something by yourself is better than having it passed down to you.

For example:

Oprah was sexually abused as a child but later she became the most successful African American woman today.
