quiz 11

I thought that there was not going to be a quiz 10 or 11. Am I wrong?!

American Dream

The American dream is an ideal, that anyone seeking a better life can come to America to achieve it. Back when the country was first formed people first came from Europe, they were leaving countries with an oppressive government. Seeking fair equality with the possibility at having a nice life. If they worked hard enough they have chance at owning land and having to do almost nothing for life. Today people come to the United States seeking a better life style. They seek a home that is not made of garbage, or they are also seeking a steady food supply instead of having to either hunt, steal, or go starving. Women from most Arabic nations come to the United States seeking better treatment. Here in the US they don't have to hide their face and even getting an education. For them an education is their American dream. Each Immigrant has their own American Dream based on own how their home country failed to treat them like a human being.

Question(s)

I know that after we posted our papers we were suppose to read everyone else's and respond to them, as well as respond to Religion posts and take a quiz...- but when is all of this due? After posting the paper and the Religion discussion post on the 22nd I assumed it was "Thanksgiving break," but did not ever see an exact due date for the quiz and responses. So, just curious?! Prof. Reeves, or if someone else knows the answer to this, please let me know because I feel like I'm going to get myself stuck haha.
