To be an American is a great privilege. Being a citizen is truly a great thing when we have our freedom. This is a great land, not everyone is as lucky to have it like we do in America. Being an American citizen is accepting to obey laws and responsibilities and if not willing to have accept propper punishment.
Many Americans take for granted the great blessings this is the land of opportunity and it shows. Americans are in great debt to the many that gave there lives for freedom so the way of life can be it is as it is today. To show great appreciation and being patriotic acts such as the pledge of allegiance and national anthem are preformed.
This book could potentially challenge the opionions i have stated above. While reading the introduction of Rereading America it sought purpose to teach the readers to question what they are told and form an knowledgeable opinion this can be done by using the strategy of critical thinking.

I enjoyed reading your response! I agree with you when you say it's a privilege to be a part of this county. I think that all of us at some point really take all our privileges for granted, and its sad to think about. I also think its extremely important to recognize that people died to give us the things we enjoy. We need to show that gratitude more than most of do, I think. :)
ReplyDeleteVery well done. I agree with you. sometimes we have to rethink what we have grown up believing. i believe that if we never experience the other side, then we will never really know our opinion is valid. i hope to learn a lot in this class.
ReplyDeleteWell said, I indeed agree. That really speaks to me. We all need to obey the laws in this wonderful land we have been given. The possibilties are endless, and we should all take advantage of it. Let us honor what the founding fahters made such a bold stand for.
