4th of July
The Fourth of July*

Being born in the USA gave me the advantage to celebrate lots of holidays. One of my favorite events was the independence day. Were America got its freedom from the United Kingdome of Britain.

In the morning of 4th of July, my mom woke me up early and said: "get up and be ready for the barbeque at your uncle's house".
I wanted to dose off more but the thought of the fireworks later at night made me jump out of my bed and rushed to put my clothes on. After everyone got ready we jumped in our car and drove to my uncle's house. On the way we gazed at all the beautiful decorations from the American flags to banners of independence, on the way up to the driveway I saw all my cousins playing with fireworks, instantly my mom looked back at me and said:" don't think of playing with the fireworks without any adult supervision, or you would not be allowed go with us to the firework celebration site." I looked back at her in an angry face and said:" mom you are so unfair!!!!!".

After the few hours at the barbeque every relative of ours packed some chairs and water bottles and we all headed to the one of many celebration sites. We arrived a little bit earlier to get a good seats and view around the lake where the appointed people will demonstrate a beautiful selection of fireworks, when it got dark and all the people got around they announced to lay back and watch the sky lights up with all kind of colors and bright lights, along with the song of the national anthem of America roaring in the area, after the demonstration I said to my parents: " thank you for this night, it was the most exciting 4th of July celebration I have ever been to."

4th of July would be the best celebration or historical event to ever watch. Hoping to all my friends to get the chance to witness such massive

    From that day forward I learned that I should be more careful with fireworks, I should always have an adult present while using fire, think twice before you act, and take care of family first. Even though a lot of things went wrong nobody got hurt and nothing was damaged or combusted, so in a way everything went as planned???? Well at the end of the day it was just a little something to laugh about, so it is ok to take risks every once in awhile. Oh and don't forget to be careful with…

    Most people in the United States celebrate the 4th of July, but do you know exactly why the holiday is so important to our country? Imagine how you would feel if someone older than you (maybe an older sister or brother) kept telling you what to do all of the time and kept taking more and more of your allowance. That is how the colonists felt in the years leading up to 1776. Great Britain kept trying to make the colonists follow more rules and pay higher taxes. People started getting mad and began making plans to be able to make their own rules. They no longer wanted Great Britain to be able to tell them what to do, so they decided to tell Great Britain that they were becoming an independent country. (To…

    The Fourth of July is an American tradition/ritual that comes from the original thirteen colonies declaring independence from Great Britain, but now let me tell you in more detail. On July 4, 1776, the thirteen colonies claimed their independence from England, an event which eventually led to the formation of the United States. Each year on July 4th, also known as Independence Day, Americans celebrate this historic event. Conflict between the colonies and England was already a year old when the colonies convened a Continental Congress in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776. In a June 7 session in the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall), Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented a resolution with the famous words: "Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."…

    I love the way you explained how people celebrated 4th of July in America. It definitely gave us a sense of patriotism and national pride. America have gone a long way. Traditionally, it's to celebrate Independence Day with American flags, red-white-blue, and that whole game. Nowadays, from my perspective, there are some patriotic people. However, for me while growing up, it's more BBQ, pool parties, fireworks, and most importantly red-white-blue & American flags. That's still somewhat patriotic and bring people together as you said, communal celebration. Those celebrations only happen in few times annually and truly united as together and helps us remember that America definitely have gone a long way.…

    When school was over for the year, Grace Toone looked forward to the July 4th celebration. Her mother, Clara Jones Toone would make new dresses for her girls. She was good at sewing and took great pride in having her girls look nice. On the morning of the 4th there would be a patriotic program at the church. In the afternoon, the town would gather to the square and run races, or ride bronco horses. Grace’s favorite was the ice cream. The 4th of July was the only time of year you could buy it.…

    It’s good to celebrate Independence Day because it was when we became a free country and when it was established that we were able to live in our free country and we could live where we wanted. We got to keep control of our own land and the government did not control it. Everyone should be able to to keep their own land rather than the government having the control.…

    Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who perished while serving in the military, a day to honor the soldiers who died while defending America. Our three day weekend in May is a wonderful time to get together with friends and family. To most of us, Memorial weekend it means no school/work and an extra day off. Memorial Day is so much more than a day off to have fun. Most students do not really even understand why they get school off; a lot of adult use this time for cookouts or parties. Memorial Day is a day where we, as Americans, should honor our fallen soldiers.…

    It was step-up day, and we were playing games on the field with the fourth/soon to be fifth graders. I saw my dad walking towards the field, and I knew it was time to get ready. I said goodbye to my friends and they wished me good luck. I was really excited to see my family coming in for the evening shabbat services. We headed up to the temple, and take some pictures with my grandparents and cousins. I greeted an endless amount of relatives, family friends, and people I have never met before. The service was beautiful, and the wine (grape juice for me) and challah were passed out. Dinner was served in an adjacent building where we visited with relatives from all over the country. First cousins, second cousins, third cousins twice removed, you name it. Uncles, aunts, great uncles and aunts and of course my grandparents all join us for a delicious dinner. We all talked and caught up, and it made me more comfortable to see that my family was there to support me, and I was excited for…
