OR Blog #39: Today I read about the 4th of July. This fits into today's blog assignment because it is a national holiday in the U.S.A. The article I read is from the KABOOSE website and the article is entitled "Why do we Celebrate the 4th of July?". The story of the Britains pushing the Americans around is similar to how the Britains pushed the Indians around. The story ends the same too, both India and America are independent nations from Britain. Also, both stories had the brave heroes who stood up to the British and forced them to give their countries independence. Now we celebrate the 4th of July or Indepenpendence Day and maybe the Indians have something similar. This article could also be related to a book called, "George Washington's Sox". In this book, some kids go back through time to the period of revolution in the U.S. They see George Washington and his soldiers and experience the victory. This is what I read for today's outside reading blog.
