CROSS, WHiTE HOUSE, BEACH

I have picked three very different images. In all good reason, to explain different aspects of the views of large groups down to me.
First is the cross. The cross symbolizes Jesus dieing on it for the sins of the world. Some religions might not agree with that, but me being a christian i will discuss it from this view. Christianity is a big part of our society, In God We Trust is our countries motto! It symbolizes love, compassion, longing, suffering, peace, tranquility and cleansing. Sometimes we as humans forget the importance of religion, we are only on this earth for a short while of eternity. We need to live our life to the fullest for the one that died for our sins that everyone can know about his story. People don't cruify as punishment anymore, but back in those times it was the ultimate death sentence. That day Jesus died, the people did not know why the son of God would just give up and not save himself. Later they realized that because he did, he rose again and paid the debt for all of our sins. Leaving the cross a symbol of hope that heaven is on the other side of this short painful life.
Second is the white house. It symbolizes our nations capital and head of our government. Any major decision our country faces comes from this place. People say that it is a place of refuge and hope. It has long been our nations capital since the early years of our country. I believe that respect is owed to that building, it has housed many a powerful men. It is a monument of world power.
Last is the beach =] I come from Florida and i just wanted to speak on what it symbolizes for me. In the early days of exploration, no one new what was out there, if there was anything. It was a whole new aspect to the world if somewhere way past the horizen existed. For the pilgrims and early settlers i believe that the beach meant a whole lot more than sand and waves, it meant freedom, hope and their future. Anyone that sits on the beach and looks out can't help but think about, what is to come in the future. When i look out into the deep blue i realize that this life is short and that my hopes and dreams can be accomplished. It's going to be hard but there is no end in sight and some people might think of that as dissapointment but i look at is hope. That it might look to far away, but it can be done. I have big hopes for myself and dreams from when i was a little girl that i was going to be known when i die, that people will remember me and miss me. The ocean gives me hope that nothing is to far out of reach, the sky and water might not ever touch and it may seem like there is no hope, but the sun will set and there will always be tomorrow!
