Definition of Proud- USA

Author's Note:  Writing this made me feel close to home, I even had the perfect quote to finish this story and make it come alive and reality.  I'm dedicating this piece to my grandfather, thanks.

I am proud of this country because, through this country’s hard times we’ve truly pulled it together.  All we need is each other.  We’ve fought for what we have and what we have is freedom of speech which is something only few other countries have, and we are one of the lucky ones that does have that freedom.  I can’t think of the United States without our freedom of speech.

When I think of the United States I think of the word proud that’s how we can describe our country.  You can’t expect me not to bring up that the eagle symbolizes the United States.  It is the perfect animal to symbolize us because, the eagle symbolizes freedom, nobility, and pride. We should be proud that we can have this animal symbolize our country.   

“What so proudly”, even our national anthem has the word proud in it.  When our flag was founded the colors of the flag had no meaning.  The stars and stripes stood for; the stripes on the flag stand for the thirteen colonies and the stars stand for the fifty states.  The colors stood for; white signifies purity and innocence.  Red symbolizes hardiness and valour.  Last but not least, blue is the color of the Chief (the broad band above the stripes) signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice. 

My grandpa was a sargent in the U.S. army and whenever he tells me his stories I start to tear up because, I’m thinking to myself that people truly care for our country and fight for what we believe in.  I also think to myself that army forces are what we should be proud of.  We won all our most important fights and we do for a reason.  We help our allies and they lend a hand to us when we're in need and without them the times we are in need we don’t have to struggle.

So, the answer’s yes.  I’m definitely, without a doubt, positively am proud of this country.  There’s nothing you can’t be proud of.  I’m lucky to have even stepped foot into this country let alone live in it.  Sometimes you take things for gradated but, think about your great live.  Like I say, “Live as if you’ll die tomorrow.” 

Peacocks

Author's Note: This post is my opion on peacocks.  It's weird how people don't look past what's already there.  People don't think of peacocks of what they are and we have to prevent that from happening.  Peacocks are truely the perfect animal.            

            Peacocks are one of the most and strikingly marked of all birds.  I love peacocks.  They have so many special things about them that other animals don’t have.  Peacocks are the best animals of all, I think this because, peacocks are pretty proud peacock princesses. 

            Something that most people know peacocks for is their beautiful trains.  These trains are thought of to mean pride and royalty. Buddhists think that they symbolize openness and showing everyone your true colors, because the obvious; their feathers being all open and gorgeous!    

Something that most people don’t know about peacocks is that peacocks can fly.  Peacocks can fly but, only for short distances.  They do this to stay away from predators.  Another reason that peacocks fly is if they’re looking for a place to roost for the night.  They can fly to trees with low branches.  Peacocks also fly to try and find food.    

            Most people when they think of peacocks they think of normal peacocks but, there’re white peacocks too.  White peacocks are exactly what you think of when you say white peacocks, they’re white peacocks.  One fact people think is cool about peacocks is that they have a constellation that’s titled the peacock after them. 

There’re also congo peacocks and they’re endangered. These peacocks are different than the rest of the species.  They are smaller than the regular peacocks so, if you compared them you’d be able to tell which one was a regular peacock and which one was a congo peacock.  The male congo peacock was discovered in 1936 after 23 years of searching in central Congo.  Together we can save this beautiful creature. 

Peacocks are the best animals of all, I think this because, peacocks are pretty proud peacock princesses.  Not many people like peacocks but, they are actually quite amazing so, help these animals be noticed for their amazement.
