Speicial Land of Opratunity

DATE: ~1988

DESCRIPTION: I think this essay originated in Cub Scouts, not school. I apologize for the poor quality, but the paper looks like the Dead Sea Scrolls by now.

It's a nice short blurb about "Freedom" and "America". Very obviously written from an immature, sheltered young boy's perspective. I also must have been spelling below-par at what I'm estimating is a Kindergarten level.

I do enjoy the last line most of all. It's got nice rhythm with the climactic misspelling. Say it out loud. Nice 'pop' to it.


Re-written 20 years later...(today):
