What I Would Tell America’s Founding Fathers

Dear founding fathers of the United States of America,
I would like to address this letter to you all to inform you on our economy and society nowadays that you may find appalling. The U.S. government has collected a national debt that is quickly reaching 14 trillion dollars, but we are trying our best to reduce this amount everyday. Many individual Americans owe over 849 dollars on student loans, which is usually more than they owe on their credit cards, though it is good we are trying to further our education, but most Americans that have recently graduated college are shown to move back in with their parents instead of purchasing a house of their own. I would like to inform you all that one out of eight Americans are currently in the food stamp program, which is a program designed to provide financial assistance for purchasing food for either low or no income families. This program has come to be considered “normal” among many people. I feel as if this program has made many Americans become ‘lazy’.

George Washington Informative Speech

Washington, a founding father of this great country hoped that one-day people from across the nation would be welcome in America. Through the progress we made I wonder what will he will think of us. A disgrace, disappointment, or a parasite feeding on a beautiful organism near to self-destruction. Could he still see the country he founded? Think about it. What if this country was never founded? What if Christopher Columbus never sail? Our Founding Fathers would not meet. The U.S Constitution would never…

Essay On Lin Manuel Miranda

In the play “Hamilton” by Lin-Manuel Miranda is a Broadway musical that tells the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of America's founding fathers. The music is catchy and the lyrics are something else and some of the performances are mind- blowing. Some of the actors go above and beyond in a single play. It’s a mix of singing and acting.
