The US Capitol Building Our nation's revolution was a great achievement in U.S History.

The United States capitol is among the most architecturally impressive and symbolically important buildings in the world. For almost two centuries it has housed the meeting chambers of the senate and the House of Representatives

in the late 1700’s, the United States of America was looking to create a democracy. The people voted Revolutionary War hero George Washington, as the first President to lead the newly born country.

On March 4, 1921, an unknown soldier from World War I was buried with the approval of Congress in the plaza of the Memorial Amphitheatre at Arlington National Cemetery.

Henry Latrobe: United States Capitol The United States of America was founded upon the motto E Pluribus Unum “out of many one”. Out of the 196 countries found in the world, the United States of America sticks out as the pinnacle. The United States is the most powerful country in the world and the most important building that resides in it is the United States Capitol.

just told us. I’m furious, even more angry with the Capitol then I have already been. I take a second to think about it but it makes me nervous, frustrated and enraged. Peeta and I both know what this means and we need to make a decision fast before the Gamemakers decide it’s boring the onlookers make a verdict on how to liven us up once again for a more interesting and amusing attack. As for all, these games are only for the amusement of the Capitol and those in the 12 districts that are into it. To

for a position in my field for that summer. Recommendations from family friends led me to apply for Senator Rob Portman’s prestigious internship in Washington, D.C. The internship was a reach – as I was competing with some of the top students in my state. My hard work dedication paid off: a couple of months later the office of Senator Rob Portman extended an invitation for me to join their team that summer. I ventured to the District of Columbia with two main goals: first, to discover my intended career

or the unknown away.As the mayor is recalling the events of the past, he says that "The result was Panem, a shining Capitol ringed by thirteen districts, which brought peace and prosperity to its citizens." This uses a metaphor to emphasize and exaggerate that the "shining" Capitol is surrounded and followed by the other separate 13 districts. With the illusion that Panem the Capitol is the greatest and has saved them (the other districts) and shows how the land of Panem has segregated their people
