American Flag, Food and People

                                                                                                                                                                                                The American Flag

The American flag consists of three colours - red, blue and white. The colours represent purity and innocence (white), hardiness and valor (red), and the colour of the chief (blue).  The stars and stripes on the flag also represent something. The star is a symbol of the heavens, and there is one for every state. The stripes are symbolic of the rays of light emanating from the sun, and there is one for each of the early colonies. The flag itself represents unity and is nicknamed Old Glory. The flag was first hung up in 1777. Not much has been changed since, the only major change was the amount of stars and stripes. While their is currently 50 stars for each state and 13 stripes for each colony, there used to be only 13 stars for the 13 states. Gradually the amount of stars started picking up. June 14th is flag day and the reason the service members have the flag backwards on their back of their shoulders is because that is what it would look if the flag is carried forward. The American national anthem even mentions the flag quite frequently since it has played such a role in America's history. In just about every great moment in American history, the flag has flown high. Most American's honour and respect their flag.

 

 

The Food

The most famous American food would have to be cheeseburgers and hotdogs. Not to mention Buffalo wings and barbeque ribs! Other interesting fact are that Chocolate Chip Cookies, Smores and Fortune Cookies are all American. But the most famous among most Americans is a Thanksgiving roast. But my all time favourite American food is the awesome bacon. And the all time best candy is Reeses and Hersheys or Wonka products and M&M’s. Some of the all time best places to eat in America would have to be The Cheesecake Factory featured in the Big Bang Theory, Buffalo Wild Wings, Applebee's and IHOP.(International House of Pancakes)
