Personal Narrative: My American Flag
My whole symbol revolves around an American flag because I am American. On stripes area of the flag I put the sports that I play every year, which are basketball, football, baseball, and track. If you look inside the track symbol you will see the number 400 because I run 400’s in track. The basketball is the biggest and in the middle because it is my favorite sport to play. If you follow the sports counter clock wise around the flag you will find the order of my favorite sports. I like basketball because you get to run a lot and it could get physical. I like football because you get to tackle kids without getting in trouble. The reason I do track is to travel to towns with your friends and to get the feeling of winning. I enjoy playing baseball

What kept me motivated was the hope for a better future and an independent life.…

    Personal Narrative: My Political Perspective

    My political viewpoint has changed dramatically since I was first introduced to politics. I come from a democratic family, where it is strongly believed that it is the government’s responsibility to care for all people and that the government knows what is best for all people. Every voting season, my parents vote for a democratic president and explain to me the reasoning behind their decision. It was not until I was in the tenth grade that I realized that I did not hold the same political beliefs as my parents. After taking several political quizzes and extensively researching the bevy of political parties, I now know that I am an independent. What is an independent? An independent is an individual politician not affiliated to any political…

    Personal Narrative: My Desire To Participate In The American Revolution

    When one reads this part, “be anyone for one single day”, from the prompt, I can safely assume most people would think of well known people such as George Washington or Thomas Jefferson. Famous people. However, as for me, my thoughts were the complete opposite. The American Revolution was occurring, so there is no time to be famous. I want to fight, I want liberation. I want to be separated from the oppressive Parliament. Who or what I want to do? I want to fight for freedom. In all my experiences, I’ve encountered so many injustices done to other people and myself. I don’t want to be a bystander. There is a strong desire to participate in this war so I can change the world and make it a better place. There shall be no more injustices, no more…

    Personal Narrative: My Diary Of The American Revolution

    The night of April, 18, 1775 I was abruptly woken up by some random man running through Boston yelling “The British are coming, the British are coming!” I was not very happy of getting less than a hour of sleep. This weird man came through around 10:30 PM and woke everyone in the town from there sleep. At first when I heard him say that phase I did not know what he meant by it. I then gathered with my neighbors outside and was told if I wanted to fight the British I had to sign my name on the books in the city hall later that evening. When I went to that meeting later that night they told me to go home get a pound of bread a flask of water and my gun, and to also get a little rest and when the drums sound go stand on the green. So I went home and rested a little and then said my goodbyes to little Johnny and Benjamin. Until we all heard the drums. I then went with my…

    Personal Narrative: The American Revolution

    In general, I would be a revolutionary because I would want freedom from England as much as my neighbors and I would want to be known as a Revolutionist living in the colonies. Even though, the American Revolution was known as “civil” war, a war that is fought between people of the same country (If you lived at the Time of the American Revolution, “n.d.”). In short, England ruled all the colonies located on the Atlantic Ocean which was known as the thirteen colonies consisting of two and half million people (If you lived at the Time of the American Revolution, “n.d.”). In fact, liked most settlers, the task of growing this new country into a profitable society took a lot of hard work and most of the settles were indentured servants selling their service for four to seven years, but in return they were looking…

    The American Flag: An Everlasting Symbol Of Freedom

    The American flag is an everlasting symbol of freedom and hope. The flag of the United States has standards on how it can be used. The code states that the flag should never be used as wearing attire, bedding, and curtains. Should never be stepped on, drawn back, nor up in folds, but always allow to free fall without touching the ground. Some people bend the rules slightly in clothing design and how the flag is used in other ways. No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America, but actions that are not stated in the code may be deemed acceptable as long as the proper respect is shown. A picture taken by Vanessa Hicks, a retired Navel veteran, has caused a major debate regarding the rules of reverence…

    American Flag Symbolism Essay

    “What then is freedom? The power to live as one wishes”, by Marcus Tullius Cicero. A flag, to some people may just be an object, to others it has meaning and an importance to them. In the editorial American Flag Stands For Tolerance, an American flag was burnt due to disagreement. The Supreme Court gives complete authorization for citizens to express themselves as they wish, as stated in the first Amendment “ Every citizen has the right to freedom of speech and expression”. However I am in complete disagreement towards the burning of any flag due to what the flag symbolizes, my own human moral limits, and because it's an act of extremism.…

    And there I was sitting by myself. It was Friday after school, and I was sitting on the picnic tables by the school flagpole. I looked up at the flags blowing in the wind. There was the United States Flag, the flag of (insert state here), and no other flag. I wish there was another flag up there, but I suppose our school would get a lot of hate for it. Maybe someday as a prank I would hang it up. maybe before I graduated, but it would be awhile till then, cause I was only a…
