Today
in Western Civilization we continued our PowerPoint on The American Revolution.
The slide we were looking at involved Paul Revere’s ride, but there wasn’t any
new information. We watched a video that had paintings of the ride and told a
poem about the ride. The poem used lots of imagery about light and the addition
of animals with rising tension to make a very well written poem. As a kid Mr.
Schick had to memorize this poem (which sounds horrible). After that Mr. Schick
talked about how when people said ‘Make America great again’ they meant how the
Andy Griffith show was. I agree from the standpoint that it was a different
time when you could trust people more and you could send your kid to go to town
to get something without worrying about someone kidnapping them. Back then
everyone trusted each other more because there simply wasn’t a lot of people
that provided you with a reason not to. After watching a clip from the Andy
Griffith Show where Andy explains Paul Revere’s ride to some kids (and his
deputy). Mr. Schick showed us some pictures from the women’s rights (It was for
a manner of things, but I think this would best explain it) and pictures of
people that had gotten themselves irrevocably stuck on top of tall objects.
