Answer:
im not going to write an entire essay but i can give you a simple outline.
Step-by-step explanation:
attention grabbing statement: "Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief. A patriot shows their their patriotism through their actions, by their choice." -jesse Ventura
thesis: patriotism is the beating heart of America and is the reason this nation began, survived, and is thriving.
point 1: America was founded on men who had a passion to see the people create a nation they love.
- "give me liberty or give me death!" -Patrick Henry
- the men who fought to make a country were farmers, common men.
- fighting and working for something leads you to care and develope a sence of loyalty for that which you worked for.
point 2: the hearts of the people are measured by how they react to the trials their country faces
- reaserch the boatmen from 911
- how people responded to 911 vs how people respond to present crisis
- be discriptive!
point 3: in order to see the patriotism in America, look at the people.
- if you've ever gone somewhere you had a high view of a city on the 4th of July, you've experianced the power of seeing thousands of explosions blooming throughout the city and, hopefully, a blooming of passion in your own heart from seeing such a sight.
conclusion: confront the audience by asking if THEY truly are grateful for the nation they live in; if they would fight for this land as the founding fathers did so long ago. list some ways on how they can show patriotism in their own communities.
