In Stacy Schiff's article, Anger: An American History published on December 18, 2015
by the New York times she declares that America has had it sense of exceptional-ism since America
has been established and America will continue to believe that idea of being special and superior to
other nations. The author first points out her main thesis by a quote from Paul Ryan and agrees with;
she then supports her claim by using a list of examples of groups that showed the nationalism of
America and the superiority they felt they had over other nations/immigrants; and to conclude she
asserts that this will continue to go on by giving an example of the Mormons still being a target for
around 200 years. Her purpose is to expose the American ideology of its superiority of other nations
in order to bring on change and to be on the look out for it. She seems to have a specific audience
which are the liberals because it is an issue and the conservatives like Trump have pointed out
their opinion.
