Opinions Matter During The Fourth of July

SUSI students had their first experience to celebrate the fourth of July in Minnetrista, Muncie. Beforehand, they were assigned to do some assignments during the celebration. They interviewed local citizens, shot pictures, and recorded videos for their assignments.

During the fireworks, everyone was focused on watching it. SUSI students were amazed but still they did not want to miss the moment. Some of them took pictures and some of them recorded videos.

I was one of the lucky ones to get a chance to celebrate the fourth of July. I asked local citizens' opinions towards the celebration and the answers vary.

Below is the link of my audio sound slide of the fourth of July celebration. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Fourth of July Party in Minnetrista






Muncie citizens came to Minnetrista Cultural Centre to celebrate the Independence Day at the fourth of July. Many people came with family and friends to watch the yearly fireworks party.

Along with the celebration of Independence Day in Minnetrista, a few opinions towards the fireworks party popped up among the citizens.

“It’s boring. We sat around here for two hours. No joke, no joke,” said John Pierce, a young citizen from Muncie who was coming early with his friends to see the fireworks party.
  
On the contrary, some citizens found the celebration of the Independence Day in Minnetrista very interesting. Citizens began to fill up Minnetrista early before the fireworks started because they wanted to get a good spot to watch the fireworks. A lot of people were seen enjoying their time with family and friends together while waiting for the fireworks which began at 09.30 PM.


“It’s a lot of fun and it really represents how much fun and how much our country means to us.” Said Neil Rinky who came to Minnetrista with his friends and family.
