Hair Poem

Hair makes you smile

Hair makes you frown

It can be longer than a mile

But the best part Is how good it looks with a gown

Quote

When people read quotes, they never really think about what it truly means. They will read and say "oh that's really good", but they don't stop and think about the meaning, and what the message is beneath the words. While I was reading a quote that said "Dream as if you'll live forever and live as if you'll die today", I was thinking about what the message and meaning was and how powerful little amounts of words are.

The first part of the quote was "dream as if you'll live forever". Dreams can be anything. They can be realistic, they can be fantasy, or they can be dreams that are too good to be true. What this part of the quote is trying to say is that you should keep dreaming on everything that is possible for you to accomplish. Dream until your life ends and don't stop until it does.

Beneath the second part is the strongest piece of the quote. When you live as if you'll die today, it means that you will do anything as if this very day was your last. Usually people would take the craziest risks and do the most extreme things because they knew if they got killed, it wouldn't matter because they would die soon anyways. But if today was my last, I'd want to be with the most special people in my life and not worry about dieing in almost no time. All I'd want to do is make every moment count until it's over.

Patriotism

Everyone thinks of patriotism in different ways. Most people think of it as love and dedication to one's country. But then again, some don't even believe there is such a thing as patriotism. A good amout of citizens in a country show patriotism by waving their country's flag, thinking of memorable days the country has had, and singing songs that worship and thank their country.

It is very respectful to a country when a person waves their nation's flag. In the United States, you would usually see people in parades on the Forth of July waving their falg. That is showing that the people care for thier country and they are patriots. People who are mad that there is war, or don't agree with government and leadership will burn their flag. The ones who love their country will not let their flag touch the ground becasue that is very disrepectful to the country.

If you ask someone for their country's most memorable day of the year, it will most likely be for them to say thier independence day. In the United States, 9/11 was one of the saddest and unforgotten days of the year. The two most famous structures in the U.S got torn down by other country's citizens. A lot of people cry, visit graves, and pray on that day every year. Also, this day is known as the "Patriot Day". Patriots alwasy worship the sad and happy days that came to their country.

As long as there are patriots, there will be patriotism. Everyone should know that there is someone looking out for them and keeping them safe, but also patriots should know that there are people relying and caring for them too. Even though some people don't fight in wars like true patriots, it doesn't mean that they aren't patriots at all. Flying your flag, respecting unforgettable days, and singing your nations songs, is showing that you are a patriot.

Man and Woman at a Train Station

A young man and woman were waiting at a train station on a frigid winter evening. The sound of the Christmas carolers and piercing rock music coming from teenagers ipod's was soothing but yet very annoying. Terrifying winds and intense lightning that lit the sky were shaking the windows forcefully. An old man was approaching everyone in the isle and asking for money for a cancer helping fundraiser. Even though he had no pan-flip or anything to prove there really was a fundraiser, it looked like he got a few people persuaded. As he was just finishing up the people before the man and woman, the train finally arrived.
