an american journey qualifies "journey" Explanation: Clearly, there are many kinds of journeys that I one can write about. Through the life of Bill Clinton, the author is narrating a journey that is characteristically American. Of course, the journey is being undertaken by an American. But the connotation of the phrase is significantly different from "An American's Journey." The is a book titled "My American Journey" coauthored by Colin Powell (from an administration that on the other end of the political spectrum) in which he narrates his own journey, which is American as well. The common thread is the notion that there are certain characteristics of life in America which are distinct from the same in a different country. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 12 mins (2004-05-10 07:17:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Typo: Please read \"There is a . . \" instead of \"The is a . . \" at the start of the second paragraph.
