Flags

Standing Up Who knew you could stand up for what you believe in by sitting down? Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, was doing exactly that when he sat down during the playing of the national anthem before a pro-football game; I agree and approve of what he did. He was protesting the different treatment of colored people and also the cops. After reading the article, ¨In the `Land of the Free,` Are You Free to Sit Out the National Anthem?¨ by Jaweed Kaleem, I learned…

I had not yet graduated but I was on the eighth grade graduation trip. During the trip to Six Flags, I did not go on any rides, nor did I want to. I wandered around the park feeling sorry for myself. It was a cruddy day and I was walking around the park with a warm funnel cake in my hand when my friends found me. They tricked me into going onto X-flight. If you did not know, X-flight is a crazy scary roller coaster that goes fifty five miles per hour as well as having loopty loops and barrel…

Throughout the flags of African countries, red, yellow, and green display a significant presence. However, their appearance as only a colour is far more an understatement, due to the fact that these colours symbolize a higher meaning. All three; red, yellow and green are apparent in the Ghanaian flag, of whom was designed by Theodosia Salome Okoh and first adopted in 1957.

This source was a novel called ‘Put out More Flags’ which was written by Evelyn Waugh which was published in 1942; it examined the experiences of people who looked after evacuees and the troubles they faced.

They had to complete all of the tasks that the parents of these children would have to do. We can…

Well I had gone to Six Flags and when I had got there I was so anxious to get on every ride in Six Flags but then I had heard a person on the Goliath scream ”stop the ride” it was so funny and scary at the same time. Then I saw that almost every ride had so many twists and turns and even circles that go round and round. Last year I had gone on a roller coaster which was the Mind Bender and it wasn’t so scary. The Mind Bender had so many circles that go round and round. Then I said to myself…

for every single play. We have gone over them over and over in our heads then finally being able to execute them on the field we would be playing on in less that 20 minutes. We finish the drill just on time as the weber state drill team presents the flag and the national anthem begins to play. I watch the sideline opposite me. I look for the players i'll be facing and try to remember the numbers i had studied all week in preparation for this game. I seek each and every one of them out and make…

4. In this segment titled, The Redskins’ Name- Catching Racism, by former The Daily Show host Jon Stewart, the name of the Washington D.C. Redskins is critiqued by both fans of the football team and Native Americans alike. Due to the heavily entrenched racial connotation of the particular word “redskin” many feel as though it not only is entirely inappropriate, but also highly offensive to those who have felt the full impact of the nuance the word entails. However, fans of the team believe it…

and Six Flags, which offer games, amusement rides, and great food. Sometimes it can be difficult to decide which park is best for your family, but not in this case. It’s very clear which park is better, but since you’re still weary i’m taking it upon myself to take an in depth look at both of them to tell you why Knotts Berry Farm is a total rip off compared to Six Flags. Let’s begin by comparing numbers of roller coasters and quality of roller coasters against each other. At Six Flags corner…
