My Responsibility To America

628 Words3 Pages

My Responsibility to America Backdrop: On Veterans Day in my school, I was asked to write an essay on “My Responsibility to America”, and it wasn’t until I stared at a blank sheet of paper that I realized that I had a responsibility towards my new home. “Death. The only thing inevitable in life”, Colleen Hoover, an American author, simply summarized our greatest fear in words that once read, cannot be forgotten. It’s the journey that counts, it’s how you live that counts and till your last breath bringing pride to the country you were born in and eventually to the rest of the world. What scares me the most is not that we are mortals, but the deeds that we do aren’t. Everything I do in this moment will change something in what is to come. It

  • Analysis Of Is National Service A Cure For America's Woes By Larry Fennelly

    558 Words  | 3 Pages

    It is better to give to our country than to receive. Larry Fennelly’s essay “Is National Service a Cure for America’s Woes?” conveys that “asking what we can do for our country” could benefit America. It is no secret that each generation brings newer technology and ideas to help the country, but the easy way is often chosen. Fennelly’s ideas on alternative ways to help the country may leave the reader questioning aspects of the government. Alternative options should be provided to those who cannot serve in the military, but it should not be forced upon everyone.

    On my father’s first day in America, he was shoved into a compact 1-person apartment along with two other refugees and was merely granted $19 a week to accommodate for basic expenses, including food and transportation. Despite such desperate circumstances, he maintained an optimistic outlook, and while hard times were ahead, my father knew that new opportunities were also awaiting him in the land where the American Dream thrives. My father initially left Vietnam as a last desperate hope to escape Vietnam’s strict communist government, where a future of military service was inevitable for young boys, who came from families of lower social statuses. As an orphan, my father fell victim to poverty and suffered from food insecurity and insufficient

Hand tries to persuade listeners to agree with his priorities using pathos, religion, repetition, and racial justice as a backbone to his speech. While Hand makes some excellent points in his "I am an American Day Address," they are outdated, and no longer as persuasive as they were in 1944. "We sought liberty, freedom from wants, freedom from oppression, and the ability to be ourselves.

    “O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave” This powerful line closes the first verse of our great national anthem. This striking phrase truly stands for America, it tells of the land of the free, the home of the brave, and the compelling bond freedom and bravery share. I believe the gift of sacrifice from our courageous soldiers is America’s gift to my generation. How often do we stop, for even an instant, to think of the number of lives that have been taken so that we may enjoy the many blessings of freedom? Every morning at school when we say the Pledge of Allegiance and have a moment of silence, I look at the flag on the wall and think of all the suffering men and women went through so we may stand and look at the flag.

We have to strive to stop living in the palm of politicians who unfittingly represent our people. We must fight to make euthanasia legal and widely permitted when doctors and patients see fit. We have to strive to make it a recourse for people who conform to the criteria, criteria so stringent that renders it almost impossible for incompetents to abuse the power. Criteria that must be met only in the most desperate of conditions.
