This photo is America to me. The world around us is constantly changing. It looks a lot different than 100 years ago I can say that. Back when our parents were children, people were physically fit for many reasons. Working out and being health conscious at the forefront, but not having the means to get a bunch of extra food. There weren’t as many options for fast food restaurants and that just isn’t how people ate. The value of working out and staying fit varies from person to person, but I think about half our world is determined to stay fit, and the other half have fallen down the hill. The Americn Dream, the notion that anyone can succeed with hard work and determination, and that is exactly what going to the gym and pushing yourself is.

Food oh food wonderful food! Food is now a motivator for some. The core of our survival is food, water, shelter, our basic needs as humans. Food has changed the world around us in many ways. Long ago, people had to scrounge for their food, hunt it down to be able to have a meal that night. That turned into farming and growing crops for eating and trading. From there, food has only grown. There is 207,827 fast food restaurants in the US. These companies continue to want to market their food to you and promote their business. Food is about health and culture and is something that we will always need. What you decide to eat and how much you decide to eat is now up to you.

I think that books represent America because books give you knowledge, and knowledge is power.

They help us learn, grow, and understand the world around us. They teach us new things, introduce us to different cultures, and show us different ways of thinking. Books also let us escape into exciting stories, helping us relax and forget about everyday problems. They improve our language and reading skills and can even make us better at solving problems. Simply put, books make life richer, more interesting, and help us become better people. We wouldn’t have the history and the knowledge about our past to learn from if it wasn’t for books.

Nothing says America more than our flag. The American flag is important because it stands for the freedom, unity, and history of the United States. The 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies, and the 50 stars represent the 50 states. The flag reminds people of the country’s fight for independence and the rights everyone has in America. It’s a symbol of pride and respect, showing what the country believes in and bringing people together as one nation.

The cross and church represent America because of the country’s history with religious freedom. Early settlers came to America to practice their faith without fear, and Christianity has played a big role in shaping American values, like kindness and justice. Even though people in America follow many different religions, the cross is often seen as a symbol of the country’s Christian roots. Churches have also been important places for people to gather and connect. So, the cross and church represent America’s belief in freedom to worship and the Christian values that have influenced the country.

Tall skyscrapers represent America because they show the country’s growth, ambition, and innovation. America is known for its big ideas and striving to reach new heights, both literally and figuratively. Skyscrapers symbolize the country’s ability to build something big and impressive. Maybe in Sioux City there aren’t the tallest buildings, but there are buildings everywhere. America has grown from basic land and farms around to something we could have never predicted.
