This segment is an archive of American literary works that depend upon, or rely on, the role of American quilting as the basis for the work. Although perspective changes on the very nature of American quilting with each author, each work represents the unique, integrated tradition of American women over the course of their history. After reviewing the project, please feel free to contact me with any comments or suggestions you may have.

In the past fifty years,American society has changed a great deal. Fifty years ago,most Americans lived in small communities. They rarely moved from one area to another and usually knew their neighbors at least by name if not by close,personal interation. Life was so personal in those days that people often joked about it. They said that a person could not even stay home from church on Sanday without the whole town knouwing about it. It was difficult to have privacy in a small community like that,but there was usually a sense of security,of belonging ,and of community togetherness in such places. Except for church and the local movie theater,there was not much entertainment. Some people dreamed about moving to the ezciting life of the big cities ,but most people were happy to live all their lives in the same community. Few people experience this type of lifelong social interaction or sense of community togetherness now. Modern American society is much more transient now;people often move from neighborhood to neighborhood,city to city,and coast to coast. It is rare to find people who have lived all their lives in one community. Because people move so often,they do not have a chance to get to know their neighbors. Perhaps this is why Americans tend to have a more casual attitude about friendships than people from some other cultures;Americans are accustomed to leaving friends and making new friends. In this impersonal society,they have lost the habit of saying hello to people they pass on the streets or in the hallways of their apartment buildings.

It would seem that Americans like the thrill of being scared, if only for a few minutes. Though people have been surfing and mountain climbing for years, many new types of extreme sports have become popular in recent years. In the last century, most Americans would have thought you were crazy to jump off a bridge with a rope or wire attached to your feet. Now, bungee jumping has become a big hit with more and more sites opening around the country every year. Skydiving and white water rafting have also become popular – thanks to the thrills and apparent danger. In fact, though, because of the danger of these activities, safety measures must be set higher than they are for traditional sports.

日本語訳お願いしますm(__)m When the French Emperor was defeated there was a rising tide of nationalism in European countries.People became very devoted,sometimes fanatically so, to the cultures and accomplishments of their homelands.This was reflected in the music of the romantic era,as Sherman and Seldon write:[There was a] turn toward works that evoked pride in the creator's homeland.Composers in the Romantic era took special note of traditions in their native country folk tunes and rustic dance rhythms,painting tonal landscapes of rivers,mountains,and castles,bringing national poetry and other literary works to bear on their musical instincts.Thus we find classical pieces deriving from local legends...nature sketches...or historical personages.
