Investigation of the Anthems
When I was listening to the English-speaking countries anthems I was wondering what patriotic words they have and if the anthems are similar to each other. I decided to explore five of them: the national anthems of Great Britain, the USA, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.have investigated the state anthems of these countries thoroughly, and I have found that each word, each line of them can be an example of patriotic ideas.instance, in «God Save the Queen» people s values ??of unity and brotherhood are expressed in the following lines:
«Lord makes the nation see, man should brothers be, form one family, wide world over.»

«Peace, not war, shall be our boast,, should foes assail our coast, us then a mighty host, defend our Free Land.»
are proud of their native land and brave people:
· in «Advance Australia Fair»:
«Our land abounds in nature« s giftsbeauty rich and rare; history »s page, let every stageAustralia Fair!»
· in «The Star-Spangled Banner»:
«Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, this be our motto:« In God is our trust. »the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! »
The state anthem «O Canada» is a real triumph of patriotism:
«O Canada! home and native land! patriot love in all thy sons command.glowing hearts we see thee riseTrue North strong and free!»
have found that the anthems of the English-speaking countries have some key words as well.words «home - дім» and «land - земля» are used in all of...
