Movie

Today in class we continued to watch the movie. This movie is one of my favorites because it teaches us about how thankful we should be for everything we have and are growing up with a nice surrounding. The movie is very interesting and makes me want to keep watching to see what happens.

Movie

In the movie that we watched in class today was very interesting. Our culture is very different. Trash was everywhere. Piles everywhere and it was not clean at all. There was no space at all. Houses in rows and the kids had no where to play so they went on the runway to play baseball then got chased and threatened to kill. It was a free for all when everyone was getting chased. Our lives are very different and it makes me grateful for what i have here in the united states.

 Mexicans, at the cry of war the steel and the bridle, and retiemble land at their centers. The roar of the cannon (repeat second verse) First stanza Gina Fatherland, your brow with olive! From the divine archangel of peace, For in heaven your eternal destiny by the hand of God wrote But should a foreign enemy Profane your land with your plants think Oh dear homeland! Let heaven a soldier in each son will yield. Chorus Mexicans, at the cry of War The steel and the bridle, and retiemble in the earth centers upon the roar of cannon. Second stanza War, war without truce against who would attempt to blemish the Fatherland! War, war! The patriotic banners, in waves of blood saturate. War, war! On the mountain, in the valley The asanas cannons thunder, and the echoes ring with the voices in unison Freedom! Chorus Mexicans, at the cry of War The steel and the bridle, and retiemble land in their centers the roar of the can. Third stanza Fatherland, before your children become unarmed Beneath the yoke their neck sway your countryside be watered with blood on blood their feet trample. And may your temples, palaces and towers collapse with horrid clamor, and their ruins exist saying a thousand heroes homeland was here. Chorus Mexicans, at the cry of War The steel and the bridle, and retiemble land at their centers. At the roar of the cannon. Fourth stanza Patria! Patria! Your children swear to exhale their breath in your cause, If the bugle with its warlike sound Calls to fight with courage. For you the olive garlands! A memory for them of glory! For you a laurel of victory! For them a tomb of honor! Chorus Mexicans, at the cry of war, prepare the steel and the steed and retiemble land at their centers. At the roar of the cannon.


My thought about this national anthem is that it is very long compared to ours. This continues for a very long time and goes into much detail about Mexico which i think is very interesting. It is much different from our national anthem but i like it.
