Why does it connect with you? en-us 2021-02-05 16:07:35 UTC 2024-05-27 12:46:00 UTC hello@padlet.com "Then victory wont lie in the blade / but in the bridges we made." mbrandtlazar1 https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1168947176 I think this means that you win when you make connections with people instead of fighting.

This is important to me because I think that getting along with other people is important.

This is important to me because I think it's important to have a country where were not necessarily the same. We should be proud and should be treated all the same because everyone is different and that's ok.]]> 2021-02-05 17:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1169310023 When day comes we ask ourselves,where can we find light in this never-ending shade?The loss we carry, a sea we must wade agomezperez6209 https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1169409410 I think this first line is about quarantine and the horrible stuff the world went through. 
It's also about how much pressure the people carry.

This connect's with me because of all the burdens my family went through and that we are not alone.]]> 2021-02-05 17:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1169409410 if only we're brave enough to see it If only we're brave enough to be it. https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1169418383 This poem makes sense to me because I felt like it was before brave enough to see. We can do anything. It doesn't matter what politic you you sided if we all came together and respect each other's ideas. Stiller side wouldn't be good . Spell have to come together.]]> 2021-02-05 17:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1169418383 william wpfaff2848 https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1169439513 i liked her voice. she will go far in life.

One line that i liked was "But one thing is certain: If we merge mercy with might, and might with right, then love becomes our legacy" I think it means that if we team up together, we will make the world a better place. 

It's important because our world needs stuff like this. There are so many things going on around the world, and if we were to just team up and do it together, we would fix it.]]> 2021-02-05 18:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1169560838 It's because being American is more than a pride we inherit/it’s the past we step into and how we repair it jchristensen4587 https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1169573307  I think this means that people of America learn from the past mistakes and do things differently than before.

better than the one we were left with" 
I think this quote means that we should move on with our history and improve our country.

I chose these lines because they are some of the most powerful ones in my opinion, especially the first one.]]> 2021-02-05 18:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1169602455 where can we find light in this never-ending shade? https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1169651993 The line means In article  I found that it means “For the past four years we have lived under an administration that advanced policies based on bullying; a fantasy of a lost, white, Christian America; and disinformation. We have endured the gutting of our government as the president either left positions empty or replaced career officials with political operatives, corruption, the rise of white supremacists into positions of power, the destruction of our international standing, an unchecked pandemic that has led to more than 400,000 deaths from Covid-19, an economic crash, and unprecedented political polarization.”
That light was us.

This line doesn’t connect to me because I don’t really care about politics and what the president do, if they are doing something good to the country I don’t need to care much about it.

Jimmy.

I think this means for a great nation we need to unite. For a better future, we need to put our differences aside if we do we will see the character of the person and not hold them against anything so we can rebuild America.

and these lines connect to me because I have wealthy cousins who get the main stream brand stuff while me just shopping at ross and maybe sometimes treating myself during a sale. I work for all my stuff and it seems like no matter how much I work I will always not be working enough. If I buy something that's like a treat to myself it would make my parents friends look at me like i'm being spoiled. but as said always you cant win everything can you? Like how I said wealth decides class but for my parents and my chinese community its their child's grades 4.0 equals to bragging rights posted on this app called "wechat". I have been getting 4.0 since first quarter and im tired of keeping up with this but nobody every looks at your feelings its always the image that you have made for yourself]]> 2021-02-14 09:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1200674084 Yasin https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1247591756 ¨We´ve learned that quiet isn´t always peace¨

I think this line means we should not stay quiet and we should speak what´s on our minds Like if you have a problem with something act on it do like a protest for a cause like the BLM protest they didn't stay quiet and there making changes this line connects with me because its some really powerful words and also I have been someone who stayed quite before and not acting It happened in school I witnessed some hard teasing and did nothing when I should have said something or told someone ]]> 2021-02-27 03:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1247591756 rise fall think a step https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1255507062 2021-03-01 21:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1255507062 "We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation" sreeves8890 https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1276033091 I'm going to assume this was about the dumb people who were rioting about Biden being president or something like that and how this will effect the future generation? The line connect me because I guess I am part of the future generation and uh I mean it connected me in a kind of scared way if that makes sense? Because of how people are willing to go that far as to raid a government building and place pipe bombs just because they got a president they did not like?]]> 2021-03-06 01:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1276033091 When day comes we ask ourselves,where can we find light in this never-ending shade?The loss we carry, eperezocaranza1813 https://padlet.com/mbrandtlazar1/cuptm04f1qq5lh87/wish/1393033531 a sea we must wade
