I asked those around me what patriotism means to them. The most common answer I received was the love of one’s country. But what does that really mean? I received all types of examples. Displaying our country’s flag at your home or in your business was patriotic. Observing national holidays such as Memorial Day‚ Flag Day‚ Independence Day and Veterans Day. Standing and removing your hat during the National Anthem and taking the time to thank Veterans and service personal for their self-sacrifice

What does compassion really mean to me? It means to show empathy to someone who is hurt or who got their feelings hurt. Like‚ Elie Wiesel‚ Elie was a Holocaust survivor. He cared for everyone. Compassion meant a lot to him because no one showed compassion. Compassion means to me too‚ show love to someone like Elie Wiesel did. Also‚ to show kindness towards others‚ even if they don’t deserve it. That’s what compassion means to me! The Nazi’s and Hitler showed no compassion during the Holocaust

30 September 2013 What does freedom mean to you? Freedom means a lot to me. Personally freedom should be earned not given. As in if you’re an illegal immigrant and you sneak over here‚ or you get a “green card” you shouldn’t get the American title. One reason is‚ you and your family didn’t have to go through what most of us Americans have. Such as 9-11. Mostly all Americans have worked for what we have today. Such as stopping the wars‚ making laws

makes. Deeper in to the poem one of the lines say “Little lamb who made thee dost thou know who made thee”. When William Blake was writing this I feel that he was trying to say use the lamb to symbolize baby Jesus. The boy in the poem was trying to figure out why the lamb was so perfect‚ but if the lamb is supposed to be a symbol of Jesus the lamb would have to be perfect because Jesus is perfect. In this poem there was only one poetic device used in this poem. The Poetic devices used were couplets

woman was a woman. Its a shame today‚ women are becoming girls - who don’t know where they belong anymore. Before‚ nakedness was a taboo. Now its fashion. When I see such immodestly dressed women‚ what crosses my mind is the word "prostitute". It does not matter the position they are in life‚ what they do‚ where they are or who they are. The Law many times approves things that go against common sense. Primitive man used his common sense before the Law came. Laws have changed over-time but human

So there it is‚ another horrific shooting massacre. Later‚ people who heard about this news define Adam as a psychotic murderer who is a retard for killing innocent people. Now this problem was not the first school shooting massacre. This have a similarity to the shooting at Virginia Tech when a korean man killed 32 people‚ and the massacre at Columbine High School when two kids killed 17 people‚ but this one became the 2nd-most deadliest school shootings in US history and I was wondering why

10/20/2013 Reflection #1 Topic : What Does It to Learn ? This is driving me to think! Gratitude…Pass It On. I think that sometimes when life gets busy the first thing I do is well on what isn’t working. There isn’t enough time to accomplish everything I need to do. I feel like I am spinning out of control trying to find the ever elusive balance and continue to drop every single ball I am juggling in the process. I somehow think that in the hope of being everything I am letting down from the
