What can you think of besides a garden that could have united the community and brought joy to so many people's lives?

Answer 1

Amir is critical of America due to social and economic inequality. Florence uses the term Seedfolks to represent the diverse community. Other things that could bring joy and unity are shared hobbies or community events.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amir:

Amir is critical of America because he feels that the country has not lived up to its ideals and has a lot of social and economic inequality. Whether or not we agree with Amir's criticism depends on our own perspectives and experiences.

Florence:

Florence uses the word Seedfolks to describe the diverse group of people who come together to create a community garden. Fleischman chose this title for the book because it represents the idea that the individuals in the community are like seeds, coming together to grow and flourish. Some other things that could have united the community and brought joy to their lives could be a shared hobby, a community center, or a neighborhood event.
