I Am America Book

This book is about diversity in America and how diversity has defined America since the beginning of its time. By saying that I'm not rewriting history and saying that America has never been racist or unfair, I'm saying that that was the basis America was founded on and it continues to be so today. This book goes through each page with images of a real student and a short sentence that describes something about them or what they do that is unique. Each sentence on every page begins with "I am" and then finishes out with a characteristic of the student or something that they like to do. Several ethnicities are observed through this book as the author has chosen to take pictures of students that are Caucasian, African American, Asian American, and Hispanic American. This book would also be a great tool to show students how everyone is different and how it is okay to be different from one another. Diversity among each other makes life worth living and we can learn from each other because those differences exist. If we were all the same then there would be nothing that we could learn from one another.
The way this book is graphically presented speaks so much to the title of this book. As I said before the pictures of the students in this book represent students across several different ethnicities. Also each page is uniquely colorful and different. Symbolically this represents diversity because each page has its own unique color scheme to go along with each unique student. Each page also has a different fact about each one of the students. This helps to highlight diversity even further among the students in this book.
