2. Can you guess the text now? What if I told you it refers to a song?
Hey! Do you see the starred and striped symbol we so confidently shouted for in the evening? It is still shining in the early morning light in spite of the difficulties the nighttime battle posed! It flew so bravely over the flooded war scene we viewed during the night while the red glare of the rockets, and the bombs provided evidence that, like our country’s flag, this land would remain strong and would not be destroyed under any circumstances. Will you declare that this star-filled, brilliant piece of simple fabric still signals to the rest of the world that we are a country of freedom, courage, and bravery?

3. The Star Spangled Banner Lyrics By Francis Scott Key 1814
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

9. The Haka Controversy--Paraphrasing a Part
With Mendenhall stressing team unity in 2005, Cougar wide receiver Bryce Mahuika suggested the Ka Mate haka to the first-year coach. The grandson of Maori tribal chief, Mahuika joined his brothers in performing it several months earlier at the funeral of their father, and he explained to Mendenhall the origin and potential benefits.
New coach Bronco Mendenhall was looking for a way to build team unity back in 2005, so wide receiver Bryce Mahuika told the coach about the haka. Mahuika had performed the ritual with his siblings at his dad’s funeral and felt the team could benefit from the rite, hoping that its adoption would help unite the college’s football organization.

15. Putting it all together— Summarizing the Article
Even though the BYU Cougar football team has received penalties and criticism for performing the Moari Ka Mate haka prior to football games, the team will continue to practice the pregame ritual until Mountain West Conference officials say they have to stop. Opponents claim the haka shows poor sportsmanship and intimidates the opposing team too much. Others say that non-Polynesians have no business performing the rite. The Cougars began performing the haka in front of their own crowd in order to hype up their players and foster team unity back in 2005.
