'If We Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time And Start All Over Again' is a thought provoking article comparing our country's past to our country's present.
A poem asking the question if we could turn back the hands of time and start all over again-- what would or could we 'the people' as a nation change to make this a safer place for all of us to live-- followed by a brief chronology of U.S. History. Ending with once again asking the question where would we start if we could change the hands of time and start all over (the making of a nation) again...
Nicely presented and will make good use of your time historic time line with students. Thanks for your effort to inform and reinforce our memories of our country's wonderful past. And we do need to reflect on what we are today and how we can improve ourselves and make our country a better place. Enjoyable poem and article!
I know that I've read this a few days ago and I thought that I rated it. Maybe I got bumped offline. Good work, I know that I had more to say but a lot has happened since then. ;) BTW, I moved out into my new apt. Yee-Haw!!! Janet

A super job by this talented writer! I enjoyed this thought provoking article very much!
To write this you needed to have called upon deep reflective processes. These would have brought you face to face with the *warts and all* realities of and responsibilities created by the founding of a virtual empire.
You would then have had to decide upon a form in which to articulate your theme: "Having come so far and weathered so many storms, could (should?) we have done better. If so, maybe we should ask the question: if we could start all over again what would we do differently? The answer to that question would (should?) give us the will and the means to bring about the changes that would make the world a safer place for all, irrespective of creed, colour or race."
Victoria, I think you found the answer as to how to present your theme in this combination of simple poetic form and diligent, interesting and informative research.
Good work! (Take10!)
*Buona Fortuna*,
Patrick.
Sandie Angel :o)
