I selected the article, How Texas Changed, And Changed The Nation
Since JFK, by Alan Greenblatt. This story looks at how Texas has
transformed from it’s “cowboy, oilman” image to the home of three of our
presidents and 52 Fortune 500 companies. Greenblatt looks at possible reasons
for this economic growth and explores Texan culture. Greenblatt then analyzed
the Texan image and how politicians use this.
I
agree that our state has changed and prior to reading this I had noticed the
prominence of Texas politicians. I agree with the observations made and found
it interesting as I live in the state. I believe that the state will continue in this direction for the same reasons stated in the article.
