Jordan Quinzon Company Analysis and Research Assignment Due September 30th, 2014 There is a list of things that say “America” when you see them.

The memories were always flooding once the sun was gone, once the sun was lighting someone else’s day up. My memory had always been vivid, especially anything traumatizing. Were these the bad memories? Or were these the best ones? That answer was never clear to me, and sometimes I wondered if they would be.

If you get on the side where all the hot-shots are, then it’s a game, all right—I’ll admit that. But if you get on the other side, where there aren’t any hot- shots, then what’s a game about it?
