2 aWithout the rest of the world noticing much.
3 For example, the Yank love of capitalism had made the United States the richest nation in the world,
4 Even though the Europeans were just about to start a gigantic war to see who would become the Most bChosen Nation in the world,
5 And didn't even invite the Yanks to participate,
6 cBecause they kept forgetting the Yanks were there,
7 Which was basically okay with the Yanks,
8 Who were pretty dproud of what they had accomplished without much help from the Europeans.
9 In fact, the Yanks actually had their own culture by this time,
10 Even if nobody else would have called it that,
11 Exactly.

CHAPTER 64
1 For example, in the time since the Revolution, the Yanks had produced several artists,
2 Even if nobody else in the world noticed,
3 Because Yank artists painted pictures of eGeorge Washington,
4 Exclusively,
5 Which is fine if you're a Yank,
6 And proud of the ffather of your country,
7 gBut maybe not everybody's taste.

3 For example, there was a Yank writer named jJames Fenimore Cooper,

1 There was also a Yank writer named sHerman Melville,
2 Who loved the sea,
3 And thought that a really good novel had to be as long as a transoceanic voyage,
4 In a trowboat,
5 Which is why u'Moby Dick' is so great,
6 Since it's so long that no one has ever finished reading it,
7 Unless vhe was making a transoceanic voyage in a rowboat,
8 And had nothing else to read.
