BRAINSTORMING

After doing some thinking i decided my significant object is the American flag. Until awhile go i don't think this is what i would have picked. Recently my dad was sent to Iraq this year with the army. I respect my dad so much for doing what he is doing. Men and women like him are the reason we have our flag that stands for the freedom that they fight for. It means and stands for so many things but is just small and simple. I now notice just how many places display our American Flag with pride -Fire station, schools, government offices, banks, businesses, and so many residents. Some people don't appreciate the flag like they should and unfortunate. Hopefully there will be a day again when people honor the flag like they used to.

perhaps you could begin with discussing one particular American flag in your house - maybe what it means to your father, your family, and to you - has your perception of what that one flag changed how you view other flags? begin with something close to you and expand on it - you have chosen an interesting topic - keep it up!
