Americas epic.

America, Our national Epic.

 In class we were asked to state if we feel like America has an epic, why or why not? If so what is it?

I Feel as though America does not really have an epic. So many people look towards Hollywood to depict what they feel is an epic, but to many times it has been another rehashing of a story told many times, with their personal spin. We as American’s are such a melting pot of different ethnicity's, with different beliefs, religions etc.. that the one thing that I can only think of that brings us together as a country and is nationally known would be the constitution, and even now there are many who want to go against the very one thing that unites us as a whole country.

The heroes of our day would be the founding fathers of the U.S. and those who signed and created the Constitution. The all came together to represent and put into writing of all the things the felt would be necessary to state what the felt was to be an American. They fought for these rights and saw many die to protect all that they felt was precious to them and the future of this country. Just as in the Odyssey , they went to war to gain victory over the Trojans. We have been to war numerous times , but the wars we have been involved in the past have been to help other countries, except at the time of the civil war to establish the Us as a country of its own, not to be ruled by another country.
