Visiting the Alamo My most memorable trip was to San Antonio Texas. I did doing the water walk with my family. They knew I always wanted to see the Alamo, as a surprise that’s where they took me. I like the Alamo because it is a part of the United States history. The stone walls stood there in front of me like a fortress of solitude. The Alamo was a very depressing site, to see the way the people barricaded themselves inside to keep the enemies from getting to them. The enemies wanted to make peace and share the land. With our stubborn American minds, we decided not to make peace. Instead, we decided to fight against the Spaniards. In the end, we lost more of our pride than we would have if we had just shared the land. and listened to our …show more content…

Once inside, of it was just like being in the Bat Cave. There was a table where they would eat, okay so maybe not just like the Bat Cave. I just like describing the Alamo like the Bat Cave. In the corner, there was a bed with blankets stained with the blood of a soldier on it. Next to the bed was the last letter that the soldier ever received. It was from his master and on it was written, “I hereby this day grant you your freedom.” On the back side of the letter, it said what the slave had told his master, which is exactly what Alfred would say if the letter was from Bruce Wayne. The letter “said, master, I have served with you since day one and I will go into this battle a free man. However, I am not a free man because I have learned to respect you as a friend. I will die before you do.” The day the massacre happened the servant took nine bullets to the chest and went down. His master took only one bullet to the heart and died immediately. The slave and the master taught us a very valuable lesson. It does not matter who you serve or if you are a free man, you should still be willing take a bullet for someone else. The next thing we saw was a canon that was shot during the Alamo attack. I imagined the Spaniards lined up like General Zod and his military on the day of the attack. The guide continued to ask, “who has seen the John Wayne movie the Alamo?” I had not seen the movie yet and did not raise my hand. He said, “the canon …show more content…

Where everyone was buried. Men, women, and children are buried there. I looked at each one of the graves carefully. One of the graves did not fit in, it had dirt like that person was buried a month ago. The grave belonged to the slave who died for his master. His grave was given this chemical that made it so the grass would not grow over him. Some of the men did not like the slave, so they wanted to kill him. They made a plot to ambush him. It did not work because God had different plans for him. His master found out what was planned and whipped the four men who tried to murder him. We are all guilty of being selfish of land and territory. I wrote this essay on the Alamo, not only because I enjoyed visiting it, but because I believe it also taught me a very important lesson. To this day, I can still remember what happened in the Alamo. The lesson I learned is that if we just share what we own, instead of trying to keep everything to ourselves. We would not get into fights against one another. The Alamo massacre would have never happened if the people of our country wasn’t selfish. If we are not careful, the Alamo massacre could happen all over again. The soldiers were caught off guard the day of the battle. The Spaniards waited till the soldiers were not paying
