1. A fresh idea in the essay would be the fact that Yankees do not like being beholden to others. It is fresh, and it is swaglicious. I would have defined it as someone who is proud of America or something, which is not similar to his definition.
2. The allusions in the essay add to other my vocabulary other uses for the word yankee. If one did not get them, they would certainly mean little to the reader in the essay.
3. I think the writer spent enough time on what a yankee is not. He needed to establish what a yankee is not first before saying what they are.
4. That's what I think defines this dying breed of the American Yankee: an extraordinary sense of balance and reserve, a holding off — and yet, behind all that reserve, a reservoir of generosity and friendliness that can be nearly overwhelming.
5. During my spring break, I sat at home, paintballed it up, did AP chem homework, and did Some calculus BC spring break assignments.
