When I see a flag blowing in the wind‚ or when I see a crowd of people standing with their hands to their hearts while the National Anthem plays‚ it gives me chills. When I recite "The Pledge of Allegiance‚" it is more than just words to me. It is a reminder

In the movie Jaws they got a new sheriff Martin Brody‚ he was sheriff that watched over the beach. He noticed that one day there washed remains of a shark victim. He immediately wanted to shut the beach down. Right there when he wanted to shut the beach down was the best thing he could have done because he was looking out for everyone on the beach.

While learning how to read on my own‚ I found it very easy to read books that kids my age would find very difficult. I also had things like a leap pad which had children books on it to help me if I found a word hard to read or difficult to

After watching the movie Conspiracy‚ I found it to be a very interesting movie in terms of the way the Director‚ Frank Pierson‚ wanted this movie to be portrayed when it came to the Wannsee Conference. This movie was about the Nazi government coming together for a meeting to figure out a way to go about killing millions of Jews. Kenneth Branagh‚ who played Heydrich was the head of this Wannsee Conference. He was the pivotal person in this movie because he was the main guy wanted to kill off millions

For instance‚ I was also not allowed to speak Spanish in school and I was also the first generation to apply to a University. I always thought the walkouts were peaceful‚ I had no idea how brutally students were attacked. It was quite sad seeing students
