FIFA World Cup

Mexico is on its way to the the world cup. They have played New Zeland and won. I think that Mexico is getting up there. Last time I checked mexico was in the top 25.

Toughest President

Andrew Jackson was a very tough and smart president. He was a soldier and a teacher which made him different. The reason he was so tough was that all his family had died when he was young. To top it off the wife died before he became president too. Andrew Jackson was one of the most popular presidents and the people that voted for him were confident that he was going to be one of the best.

Acti0n 0r Intenti0n

I think that people should be judged by action or what they do. I think this because intention really means noting to many people including me. Even if the person that did something bad is a child he/she should be judged by the action. Intention really means nothing.

Star Spangled Banner

After the war of 1812 ended a man named Francis Scott Key created a poem that later was named the national anthem.

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

This is my interpretation of the verse;

Are you able to see thought the sunrise, what we honor in the sunset’s last light? The wide stripes and shining stars, through the risky fight, watching protectively, with a heroically rush. With the rockets’ red light, and bombs exploding in the air, proof that our flag is still there. Does the flag still wave at the land of the free and the home of the brave?

This is only the first verse of the song here is the link for the complete song.

Saving The Portriat

In the year of 1814 during the war of 1812 Dolly Madison saved the portrait of Gorge Washington. She stayed in the White House duringthey saved a national treasure. She could have just left but she was brave enough to wait while the British were getting closer to burn down the White House. Just by saving that portrait made her become an American hero.

Symbols

Symbols are created for different reasons. Many symbols are created to show hope or power. For example the police badge is more than a piece of metal. It shows power or force when someone is in need of it. Without symbols we wouldn’t have logos so we wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between many companies or even sports teams. We create symbols when people want to unite to fight a cause. The American flag is consider a symbol because it represents all the 50 states and and 13 colonies.
