we will raise this world into a wondrous one
we will rise from the gold-limbed hills from the west,
we will rise from the windswept northeast
where our forefathers first realized revolution
we will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the mid-west states
we will rise from the sunbaked south"
I liked this quote because it reminded me of Maya Angelou's poem "I will rise" especially in the way she worded it.]]> 2021-08-17 13:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelharriman/jjleuw9mczqnnts1/wish/1682109552 https://padlet.com/rachelharriman/jjleuw9mczqnnts1/wish/1682114369 "It's because being American is more than a pride we inherit, 
it's the past we step into 
and how we repair it"
I find it admirable how she acknowledges our nationalistic nature as Americans and how to better earn the pride so many of us have for simply being born.]]> 2021-08-17 13:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelharriman/jjleuw9mczqnnts1/wish/1682114369 "We've learned that quiet isn't always peace" https://padlet.com/rachelharriman/jjleuw9mczqnnts1/wish/1682118109 This line was something that made me think. It made me realize that just because there is silence and quietness among us, doesn't always mean everyone is peaceful]]> 2021-08-17 13:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelharriman/jjleuw9mczqnnts1/wish/1682118109 in this faith we trust For while we have our eyes on the future history has its eyes on us. this line spoke to me because what she said came tue and now we study her poems. https://padlet.com/rachelharriman/jjleuw9mczqnnts1/wish/1682118436 2021-08-17 13:20:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelharriman/jjleuw9mczqnnts1/wish/1682118436 My favorite line was "Scripture tells us to envision that everyone will sit under their own vine and fig tree" https://padlet.com/rachelharriman/jjleuw9mczqnnts1/wish/1682118717 2021-08-17 13:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelharriman/jjleuw9mczqnnts1/wish/1682118717 shanesmith12 https://padlet.com/rachelharriman/jjleuw9mczqnnts1/wish/1682118725 We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the 
west, 
we will rise from the windswept northeast 
where our forefathers first realized 
revolution 
We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of 
the midwestern states, 
we will rise from the sunbaked south 

I liked this because i liked how it explained the prts of the country and what there mostly known for

I found this quote to be very realistic but also inspiring, which I like. ]]> 2021-08-17 13:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelharriman/jjleuw9mczqnnts1/wish/1682118962 https://padlet.com/rachelharriman/jjleuw9mczqnnts1/wish/1682119585
"because we know our inaction and inertia 
will be the inheritance of the next generation 
Our blunders become their burdens" 
This line has been said many times, many different ways. The idea represented in this sentence are far from a fading reality. No matter how many times this has been said, the generations before us don't stop pushing their issues upon later generations.

how could we possibly prevail over
catastrophe?
Now we assert
How could catastrophe possibly prevail over
us?
