In the movie “Mean Creek” we are faced with many characters with their own set of morals and personalities. However‚ like all movies there must be a villain who does evil deliberately and is the principle bad character in the film. It is without a doubt that Marty is the real villain in Mean Creek.

Like what Harry S Truman said‚ “you know that being an American is more than a matter

For me personally‚ in one word‚ democracy means freedom. More in depth‚ democracy is much more complex because it allows all citizens to have an equal say in many different decisions that affect lives.

A large part of empathy is respect; disagreeing with someone’s choice or thought‚ while being able to view a situation from their point of view without judgment is truly key. This being said‚ that doesn’t mean you have to agree or change your thoughts‚ but the ability to take in both opinions and react approperately is empathy. Both of my parents

Patriotism. What does that word mean? Well‚ by definition it means the quality of being patriotic‚ or showing vigorous support for one’s country. How does one show patriotism though? Well‚ during the Revolutionary War‚ the best way to show patriotism was by joining the army or militia and fighting for our country’s freedom.

write this opinion. But‚ I do agree with R.C. Holies’ principles presented in this magnificent quote. As I was reading this‚ it made me realize how much the people around me‚ and myself‚ take our freedom for granted. I believe that when people think about freedom‚ they think of freedom as just a word. Most people don’t realize that the word used to mean that you could not be owned and could do as you please. Today in America people are automatically free and don’t have to work to earn it. Freedom
