Our World Today

Authours Note: You are going to be reading about our country. I am really proud of our country because
of what they do for us. If you don't think that patriotism is important in our country you are wrong. It is
because if we didn't have patriotism where would we be now?  

          

                “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of America”, are a few words that we say every day to show our thanks and to honor our soldiers for what they do for us. What do those words mean to you? To me they mean honor and pride.  If they don’t matter to you then you must not care enough about the world! If the soldiers didn’t fight for us where would we be now?

            Thinking back to September 11^th 2001, remembering all the awful things and stories about it. The thought of it makes me sad. Think about all those people who had to help clean up ground zero after what happened! What if that was you? What would you do if you were in that position? If I was in that position I would be happy because I get to be apart of helping with 9/11. Also it would be depressing because when you are cleaning everything up you would actually be cleaning up the ashes of the people that were in the incident of 9/11.  It took about 10 months to clean up both of the world trade centers.

            James Anderson, Richard Anderson and William Adams, are a few people of veterans that fought for us in the Vietnam War. We can honor our soldiers in a lot of ways but this is the one day that everyone all over the world celebrates Veterans Day. One thing that we can do to honor our soldiers and veterans is to sort of throw a Thank You party for all the veterans of our world. What we do here in Pewaukee is, we have a few veterans that fought from each war and invite them to come to our school for a little appreciation day. When the assembly for the veterans start we all stand up and the veterans walk in while a teacher plays the national anthem on the trumpet. Then later on we introduce the veterans and then some volunteers go up and read an essay they wrote for veterans day in honor of the veterans. It means a lot to the veterans when they come in and see what we have gotten ready for them.

            On December 7^th 1941 at 7:55am (hawii time) a tragedy struck. The Japenese attacked the USA, we had gotten a surprise attack. A lot of people were killed or were injured badly. Many people suffered the loss of theirs loved ones. One thing that is actually not that bad about this war is that we were able to fight back and take pride in our country.

            Patriotism is a good thing to have in a country. If we didn’t have it where would our country be now? How would our country look? All these questions come to mind when you think about patriotism. I would say that I am really proud of our country and what it has done for us.

The Truth Haunted Halloween

Author's Note: What you are going to be reading about today is, a essay about why Halloween is the best holiday. You might agree with me now but trust, me you will in the end.

What is your favorite holiday? You might say that Christmas or your birthday is the best holiday in the world. But I would have to disagree because I think that Halloween is the best holiday in the world. Halloween is the most creative and fun holiday there was ever made.

I believe that Halloween is the best holiday in the world because you get to hang out with your friends and get to dress up as your favorite character from your favorite movie or as your favorite animal. Christmas is a good holiday but it just isn’t the best holiday. You don’t get to dress up as your favorite character or hang out with your family. Birthdays are great but there not the best. You don’t get to hang out with your friend’s, yeah you get to hang out with your family and the ones you love and care most about but you don’t get to dress up and go out trick-or-treating.

Halloween was invented in 1904 when the Germans first thought of it. Also the year when the ice-cream cone and banana split were invented. I just love how you get to  dress up as whatever you want for Halloween. I believe that it is the most creative thing a human-being could create for a holiday because you can design your own costume and go and have a blast with your friends while getting candy.

Candy is a great and yummy treat to have around but it isn’t the best food to eat, but it is a tasty treat. Halloween is a great holiday because you get to have candy, this might be a regular thing for some people because their parents let them have candy whenever they want but for other people this may not be the case. For some kids this is a treat, because they don’t get this thing often. Sure you can always ask for candy for Christmas or your birthday but its not as much fun as hanging out with your friends while getting a nice treat.

Halloween is a great holiday because of the few things that I just told you about it. Now if you still don’t believe that Halloween isn’t the best holiday in the world that’s fine because we all have our own opinions, and that’s mine.
