BRITISH NATIONAL ANTHEM. God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us; God save the Queen! O Lord our God arise, Scatter her enemies And make them fall; Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks, On Thee our hopes we fix, God save us all!. Thy choicest gifts in store On her be pleased to pour; Long may she reign; May she defend our laws, And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice, God save the Queen! Not in this land alone, But be God's mercies known, From shore to shore! Lord make the nations see, That men should brothers be, And form one family, The wide world over. From every latent foe, From the assassins blow, God save the Queen! O'er her thine arm extend, For Britain's sake defend, Our mother, prince, and friend, God save the Queen! Lord grant that Marshal Wade May by thy mighty aid Victory bring. May he sedition hush, And like a torrent rush, Rebellious Scots to crush. God save the Queen!  Jean didn’t sing because it wasn’t her national anthem. Jean’s parents understood

Today the culture of United States and its ideas about democracy travel throughout the world. Do you think the Americanization of countries like China through movies, music, malls, and fast-food restaurants is a good thing or a bad thing? Americanization in our country is a good thing because some Americans can’t afford to go to a different country. In some cities there are places called China Town, Little Italy etc. that give us Americans a piece of a Chinese culture or an Italian culture in the United States.

 Jean didn’t feel American, She was home sick.  Jean also didn’t like to sing Britain’s National Anthem.  She was beaten up because she didn’t sing. 3 CONFLICTS IN THE STORY

When I was in Georgia, visiting my Grandparents I missed all of my friends, family and animals. I just longed to be home and to see and to be told what I heard and missed. Georgia is 2 hours ahead of New Mexico and we were leaving back home in two weeks and I was just happy that Georgia has a time difference and that means I would be home sooner to my friends and family.
