Question

How and in what ways is the children's story by James Calvell still applicable?

Answer 1

The Children's story by James Calvell tackles important concepts like freedom, patriotism, and religion. 

These concepts are still very much important in our current times. In fact, these concepts will always be important for the years to come. Thus the lessons taught and learned in the story is still very much applicable today.

A very notable issue in the story is the recitation of The Pledge of Allegiance. The children were taught to memorize and recite this pledge. However, the essence of the pledge was lost. The children did not know how important The Pledge of Allegiance really is and what is needed to be done in order to make the pledge an actuality. 

This issue is still very much present in our time. A lot of people say promises, pledges, and vows but not all really mean them. It is either they really don't understand what they were promising or they simply said those vows in compliance without planning to push through or make true on their vows.
