Herina Zhang 09.23.2010 Stereotypes about Americans Most Americans are stereotyped by people from other places. These stereotypes‚ are simple impressions made by others‚ and are usually not true and are often ridiculous. Some Chinese perceive‚ all Americans are fat and eat fast food every day.

The Witch of Colchis As she was ferried ’cross the River Styx‚ what thoughts too harrowing to contemplate came coursing madly through her consciousness?
