National Anthem Analysis
I live in a country that allows me to follow my dreams. It also provides me the opportunity to pursue them. This country lets me live my life without fear. The country that I live in lets me believe whatever I want to believe and allows me to walk out those beliefs without restraint. Veterans alive or fallen have fought for these privileges and fought for our rights and our freedoms to explore all of these liberties. In our national anthem, it says “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” We live freely in this land because of the brave souls that fought for it. There are a multitude of veterans everywhere and in many families, they deserve our gratitude and respect because it was them who sacrificed their lives for us. My great grandmother

    'The Star Spangled Banner': Poem Analysis

    “O say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?” To people like Francis Scott Key, the writer of “The Star-Spangled Banner”, the American flag is a symbol of men and women standing up for what they believed in, and even giving up their life for it.

    National Anthem Rhetorical Analysis

    People who affiliate with the right-wing, all to often, conveniently neglect the First Amendment when it concerns matters regarding racial equality. The stains of the past cannot/should not be forgotten as hideous elements linger on in our current culture. I speak, of course, of the disproportionate incarceration rates of African Americans compared to whites and the proliferation of the number of instances when police officers use deadly force against minority populations. This, and this alone, was Colin Kaepernick's original message when he courageously took a knee during the National Anthem. The distortion of this fact and the deflection towards disrespecting the military and our country omits the central issue…

    Analysis: Should Veterans Ever End Up Homeless

    Veterans are men and women who have fought to protect our right to be free. These people put their lives on the line; risking the loss of bones, organs or even memory. These are extraordinary human beings if I say so myself. They deserve to be treated like royalty, yet more than 67% of the homeless population have served for our country for at least than 3 years. 47% of them served in the Vietnam War. This goes to show how “united” the United States really is.…

    Theme Song Analysis Essay

    My theme song is "Getting Better" by The Beatles. The Beatles were an English rock band formed in 1960. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, members of The Beatles, became widely regarded as the foremost and most influential act of the rock era. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with several musical styles, ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock, often incorporating classical elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways. In 1963 their popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", and as the group's music grew in sophistication in subsequent years, led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney,…

    American Veterans Fight For Freedom

    American veterans served our country, sacrificed their lives for our freedom, and gave Americans all of the astonishing rights and freedom that we appreciate and enjoy today. Ronald Reagan once said, “Freedom is the right to question and change the established way of doing things.” Thanks to American veterans, we are able to have that right and many other rights that they have earned for us. Some people may say money, or shelter is the most important thing in the world. Honestly, it is the American veterans because we wouldn’t have all of the amazing things in the world if it wasn’t for them. American Veterans are the “apple of the eye” of America for their bravery and heart, for serving in the military and risking their lives for our freedom.…

    American Informative Speech

    Freedom, independence, security, and safety must be fought for and protected on a daily basis. Our military is made up of the valiant people who sacrifice their own health, education, and life and are devoted to something greater than themselves, the United States of America. When veteran’s talk to others about their past experiences, it helps teach us about America’s past and how we should have a hope for our future. Former and current servicemen continue to live by “sacrifice over self,” which is a strong message that has bound our veterans together for years. Because of our military’s sacrifices to the United States of America, we have freedom and liberation today and a greater faith for the future.…

    Kesaya E. Noda's Veterans Day: Never Forget Their Duty

    In John Sidney McCain’s “Veterans Day: Never Forget Their Duty” he talks about how far one of the prisoners of war that was with him went to show his pride for their country, “Sitting there, with his eyes almost shut from his beating, making another American flag. He was not making the flag because it made Mike Christian feel better. He was making that flag because he knew how important it was for us to be able to pledge our allegiance to our flag and country” (McCain 7). McCain’s quote explains that an American would do anything to protect freedom even if it means the ultimate sacrifice. In Franklin D. Roosevelt’s, “The Four Freedom” it shows how much Americans have faith in freedom and how far they go to protect it, “This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women, and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights and keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose” (FDR 45). In other words, the idea that keeps all the diverse groups together is the freedom, to protect their freedom because they don’t want to lose freedom that they…
