Tuesday

Today in class we started working on the extra credit and the assignment. To get extra credit we have to find a couple of songs that show push and pull force. Our assignment is to find the national anthem and find out what it means in English. Below is the National Anthem in China and below that is the translation. Official Lyrics: 起來！不願做奴隸的人們！ 把我們的血肉，築成我們新的長城！ 中華民族到了最危險的時候， 每個人被迫著發出最後的吼聲。 起來！起來！起來！ 我們萬眾一心， 冒著敵人的炮火，前進！ 冒著敵人的炮火，前進！ 前進！前進！進！ English Translation: Arise! All who refuse to be slaves! Let our flesh and blood become our new Great Wall! As the Chinese nation faces its greatest peril, All forcefully expend their last cries. Arise! Arise! Arise! Our million hearts beat as one, Brave the enemy's fire, March on! Brave the enemy's fire, March on! March on! March on! On!

China's national anthem is really weird. I feel like it repeats its self to much and it kinda scares me. It reminds me of angry people about to fight. This is very dark and scary national anthem.
