M14: Please analyze the following passage then answer the
questions:
Burning the flag, one of the greatest symbols of the U.S., is
the same as burning a building because both involve wanton
destruction of property that one holds dear. If you have something
bad to say about the U.S., say it, but do not cheapen the flag with
your actions. Many Americans died to keep that flag flying. Those
who want to support flag burning and other such despicable acts are
outnumbered. Last month, 75 people were surveyed in a restaurant in
Dallas, Texas, about flag burning and were asked: “Do you support
the unpatriotic desecration of the American flag in an attempt to
express some sort of anti-American idea?” Ninety-three percent
responded that they were not in favor of desecration of the
American flag. Therefore, our national lawmakers should pass a law
protecting the American flag against such horrible actions.
5. The following is a relevant difference between burning a flag
and
burning a building:
Making a flag involves the process of measuring and cutting fabric
and
sewing the pieces together. Therefore, it takes less work and
generally
involves a small amount of people. Whereas, making a building is
a much
more intense process of measuring and cutting different types
of
materials, using heavy equipment, employing people with many
different
types of skills, and generally involves many people.
