In My Country

Air Pollution There is no pollution control authority in my country. However no one needs an official pollution monitoring system to realize that the air we breathe in the city of Kinshasa is very polluted. It is useless to search for official pollution information on Kinshasa. Even in the 2014 WHO report on air pollution, data on Africa in general and on Congo in particular are not available. When looking on the WHO website, we can find statistics on regions like America, Pacific, Asia and…

America’s gift to my generation “ And now we lie, in Flanders Field,” That was always my favorite line of the poem,but no-one asks a flower what their favorite line of a poem is more less anything.And no-one asks what a flower knows, or has seen .People don’t talk to us seriously because we’re just flowers. The line in the poem makes me remember memories.The memories that haunt me show the sadness, the deaths, and me, standing there, swaying in the wind. In Flanders field I watched it all, the…

had actually stepped foot into Germany before, since I had traveled their once before with my mother and grandmother. When I had gone here before (in middle school), I had loved the country, and so even though we were only going to be in Germany for five days, I was most excited for this part of the trip. Since my original trip here was so long ago, I didn’t remember a whole lot of detail about the country. However, I did remember all the colorful buildings, the presence of castles, the fact…

My parents instilled in me a love for country music from a very early age. I can recall the songs of Shania Twain, Faith Hill, and Deana Carter playing through the house all of the time when I was little. December of 2010 I went to my first concert (Carrie Underwood), got my first guitar, and started to write my own songs.

Eavan Boland’s works such as “Quarantine” and “My Country in Darkness” greatly reflect the hardships Ireland has faced. The harsh, cold tone Eavan Boland uses throughout the poem mirrors the tone…

experienced the same joy and love for life that I once did in my home country El Salvador. Though it is a nation enveloped in violence and poverty, living in it taught me to appreciate life and the wonders of nature. While the days were filled with chaos and people trying to survive another day, the night gave rise to the moon, stars, peace and tranquility. One moonless night out in the countryside, as I gazed upon the most marvelous starry night sky, my perspective changed. Surrounded by the…

The Slow Downfall of the U.S.A. Imagine that the world has entered into a war with no predictable outcome. Countries fighting against one another with no clear sides or allies. The U.S. is nowhere to be found on the battlefields, in the skies, or even in the sea. What could have happened to the powerhouse with the strongest military in the world? Because of weakening foreign relations, decreases in the protection of America, and the negative effects on the families of those who serve in…
