Patriotism - Exactly 350 Words!


            BOOM! POW! CRACKLE! Those are sounds you hear on the Fourth of July, right? What most kids don't know is that it is also called Independence Day. It is the day that we won independence; the day we earned America. It was our soldiers that fought, the ones with the most patriotism. They fought for our country and were willing to die for it. Patriotism is very important to them, as it should for most everyone. Patriotism still matters and always will.
             Patriotism is a symbol of our appreciation for our country. It shows how much we care. If patriotism were to be dead, where would we be now? That question is unknown and for the sake of our lives should stay unknown. We should always have spirit somewhere in our hearts. Patriotism is what we are. We are America, and this is our home. If we don't protect it, we could become part of another colony. We won our own independence, and we should be able to keep it.
             Everyone has different opinions. It's kind of hard to understand why people fight and have war. What if there was no such thing as fighting? Would it make our life better, or worse? Less people would die, and that's for sure a good thing. If there was no such thing as patriotism, would there be countries, or would we all be one large country? If the world had formed differently where all the land as connected, would we be one country? Then we wouldn't have to fight about which country is the best. There is no such thing as bad taste because it's an opinion. One's trash is another's most valuable treasure.
             As clear as it is, all countries are important and all countries matter. It's just the patriotism that makes people get excited and spazz-like. Even though it seems as though it would be a better life without it, its still important. No matter what, patriotism is always going to be important, no matter what. It's good to be different. Our country is and always will be very important.
