In the article: An “American” Publishes A Magazine By Shawn Wallace makes many references about America as a whole the small acts of assimilation he noted and how he as an American Citizen is living in America unlike others who might value America more then he does.  The author makes it very clear that this is the case as he mentions that he doesn’t feel the loyalty most people or citizen’s would have for their country in most cases. But although he does not feel loyalty towards America he does not put it below another country and vice versa. The author considers all of them equal as seen on page 51 of the article Wallace stated: “I don’t value an American life more then I value a Nigerian life.” The article made it very clear how the author although he lives in America as a citizen he sees it as he would see any other place he would live in.
