Answer:

Explanation:

Being an American is awesome. I feel that I am part of the best country in the whole wide world and feel that we all are blessed with so much freedom in our everyday lives. Many people in the United States are used to hearing themselves as an “American”, but they do not associate it with privilege anymore. Everyone uses the word so often, but they barely know what it means. Many people hate the fact that they live in this country, and they never take the time to realize how blessed they are to live in America. These people are blind to the fact that many others around the world would give anything to be in their shoes, ready for the opportunity to succeed and start a new life.

People in the United States take the freedom this country has to offer for granted. They don’t realize what kinds of freedoms they really have and how unique they are compared to the rest of the world. The word that clearly describes “American” is “Free”. It does not mean that an American can obtain free food, a free car or a free home. Instead it means that a person living in the United States is free to make their own decisions, such as choosing who will run the country. In the United States of America, the people have freedom of speech, religion, the right to vote, the right to keep and bear arms, and ability to travel where and when they want. Here in this country we can decide how to live our lives, without the government breathing down our necks telling us what to do. We can speak our minds about a certain injustice or write about controversial things that many people deem unconstitutional or politically incorrect. In the United States, we have an opportunity to serve our country. We have the chance to give back something to a country that has given us so much. We aren’t forced into the military service, but rather we have a choice whether or not we want to serve. Here in the United States, we are truly blessed with so much. I believe being an American means that we are all part of something truly special and we as Americans carry a certain sense of pride in our country. Freedom of speech and the freedom of religion are prohibited in many countries around the globe but Americans have fought to obtain these rights. America was formed on the idea that religion and speech should not be controlled by the government. Being able to speak out about an injustice is very important for the overall health of a nation. People will always continue to be people. They will lie and cheat to get more and more power. In the United States, we are able to see that and write or speak about it without fear of any retaliation. We have a right to say our minds, a right to say whats on our heart. If someone is the government is doing something that is unconstitutional or illegal, we can say or write whatever we want about it without the fear of being punished.

When the North American colonies were formed in the early seventeenth centuries, people from Europe braved the high seas of the Atlantic Ocean and made their way to the New World where they could practice whatever religion they wanted to. Although The Pledge of Allegiance states that we are “one nation under God” people have the right to choose what religion they wish to practice. Yet, if they choose not to take part in any religion and not to serve any God, they are free to choose and practice what they believe. People are not and will not be prosecuted for their beliefs. Nobody is marginalized because their opinion in religion might be different than others. This is a founding principle of our nation.

In this country we have a right to keep and bear arms, made possible by the second amendment. The second amendment to the constitution, passed in 1791 along with the rest of the bill of rights, made it so the people of this country could “have the right to keep and bear arms”. It is nice to live in a country that permits us to bear arms for ourselves.  

get your popcorn cause honey, it's about to be a minute

1-3 America is still a work in progress. And today, has proved that. We are supposed to be the land of the free, opportunity, advancement, but here we are today, still fighting to go to school, to get better jobs, healthcare, and to be looked at, as the rest of you "privileged" people who were born in the world with the world in your hands. Like, black and brown people aren't born with the OPPORTUNITY to change the world. White people are. They can do whatever they want. They get payed more, and don't get beat on the street. Oh, and straight rights? What rights? We say gay rights not to separate us, but so you can ACKNOWLEDGE us, because you haven't. All lives matter? The people who say that are trying to say "oh well you aren't the only one who is important" like, that's not what we're trying to say at all, and the fact that you still don't understand that proves we're getting no where. Americans are not learning from their mistakes. Americans are not white. It's not like how China is full of Asians, America is not full of white people, it's full of diverse, passionate people. Like people act like by saying "gay rights and black lives matter", then that's us trying to separate us, but that's not at all what we are doing. We are telling you that we are here.

And why is it that America is apparently so great, when our history is that they stole my people's land? I don't celebrate thanksgiving because it's basically a celebration of how they slaughtered and raped my people. Instead, I do festiveus, which is just to celebrate and appreciate each other.

Also, aren't we supposed to be setting an example? Like people have the right to flee to our country and seek protection, but thanks to trump, ICE separates children from their families at the border even right now as we speak. And on top of that, THE ENTIRE WORLD IS WATCHING US. What are they learning from us? What do they see? Violence, destruction, and hate, and greed. America isn't the land of the free! It's the land of greed.

4-7 The US is different, but not special, because we have what a lot of countries have, which is injustice, poverty, inequality, racism, sexism, and more. But yes, we do have more advancement, but how does that matter if we're killing each other every day?

I think every country has patriotism, not just Americans, but to what extent must we stop? We wouldn't riot if you listened. Like America really thinks we're doing this out of nowhere for no reason.

I don't think there is a right answer for being American. Because they're all different, and THAT is what makes America. That we're all so different! :D

8. America is a country made up of people that have immigrated from all over the world. So yes! Most of America are immigrants! Yet white people are "the face of America" really? Most of these white people's parents immigrated to America. Like, I think trump/s parent's or something were immigrants. You are American if you contribute to America and you aren't sum bum who doesn't want to work and just want to cause trouble.

Also, why is it so bad to see other people love people of the same gender. Like honey come on. That's getting a little too old now. Just let the gay people be gay by themselves okay, they aren't hurting anyone >:(

What's in a Name?

Mucus is a great word, not only because it gives name to an important bodily function, but also because it is one of those words that simultaneously makes you feel grossed-out and giggly. Other words for this powerfully important human-health tool include slime and phlegm. Slang words for mucus include boogers and snot. All of these words have the same giggle-power, simply from the combination of consonants and vowels. By the way, mucus is an old word; it's been around since the mid-1600s and has roots back to Latin (mucere, to be moldy or musty) and Greek (myxa, mucus). While you may assume that words like snot and boogers are relatively new slang terms, they are not. Snot dates to 1560 and comes from an Old English word, gesnot, and has the same root as the word snout. The word booger is not quite as old but has been in use since the 1890s.

Which line from "Making the Most of Mucus" best states the main point of the essay? (1 point)


a

It's a great word that conjures up visions of slime and unpleasantness.

b

d

Humans produce about a liter of mucus every day, whether they are sick or not
