In modern times, I think Mr. Smith is similar to the United States senator Richard Durbin or “Dick” Durbin. Since Senator Dick Durbin is a democrat and is a senator, I would pair Mr. Smith to him. Along with Mr. Smith, Dick Durbin has similar political stand points as Mr. Smith. Both men care about the children’s future/environment. Mr. Smith wanted to build a national boys camp so they can develop and be with nature. Senator Dick Durbin is promoting the protection of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge so that other can enjoy and see these wild animals.

Mr. Smith was a good hard working senator. He had to develop his political views and ideas over the movie, but then transformed into a brilliant politician. In modern times, I think Mr. Smith would be a democrat. I say this because, he wanted to build a national wide boys camp for young american boys all over the country.  Typically, democrats tend to spend more, and building this program would cost some serious dollars. If Mr. Smith continued to serve in our senate, I think he would be a good candidate for the democratic party, he is children-connected and has good ideas that could spread joy around the U.S.

Overall, I thought this movie was very good and entertaining from a political standpoint. I really admire Mr. Smith’s determination to clear his name.  This movie reminded me of the movie called “Double Jeopardy” with Tommy Lee Jones and Ashley Judd. In “Double Jeopardy”, the wife, Libby is tried for killing her “dead” husband because he faked his death and made it seem like she killed him, so that he could get his life insurance and make a lot of money. During this film, Libby is determined to track down her husband and to get revenge on her husband for ruining her life. This movie is similar to “Mr. Smith goes to Washington” because both characters, Libby and Mr. Smith, are determined to clear their name.

Basically what happened is that Gregory Johnson burned an American flag in protest to Ronald Reagan's presidency outside a convention center in Texas. Shortly after, he was arrested and charged. I don't agree with him burning the flag at all because it represents this country and millions of people have died for his country and its an abomination that someone would do that. Yes, you're entitled the freedom of speech in the first amendment but this different.

I liked to hear it out loud rather than to read it. It made me visualize it more and it really made me understand it better. My favorite part is the last bit where they talk about how they have the power to declare war and join alliances because it shows Britain that we aren't going to get pushed around and we will use force if necessary

After listening to that audio, I thought it was interesting how both women worked together to bring justice. I thought it was kid of funny how the men were jealous of them.

I am more interested in the election than most teenagers. Well, 8 months ago, I would of voted for Chris Christie, but since he was overran, but now I would vote for Trump. Despite Trump having some "bad moves", I would support him and my political party.

I expect the government to keep me safe and well educated. I expect them to make our military stronger and to enforce the laws that would jeopardize my safety. I also expect my government to educate my through life and to prepare me for life itself.
