    3. Say you have one hundred dollars. You spend all of that money on candy. When you are done eating your candy, you have spent all your money and eaten all your candy. You no longer have either of them. If you make a decision make it worth doing. Don't waste your money on something that will last a short amount of time.

    2.LL- Don't depend on other people.

    3. This quote means that you are free and you have independence. But you don't want to do something stupid that will take away your freedom. If you do something that is against the rules and you always depend on other people, you will not be independent. Going through life, leaning on someone elses shoulder won't help you. You need to be able to depend on yourself. One day you will wake up and it will hit you in the face.

    2. If you give up your freedom for safety, you don't deserve freedom or safety

    3. This quote means if your going to give up your freedom for safety you don't deserve either. That's like saying your going to give up your toys to be safe, but you won't get it. If you keep your toys (freedom) then safety will come. Don't worry if something doesn't go your way. With patience reward will come.

    LL~People that are able to give up something they need or love, don't deserve it.
    ~ If you can give up your rights or privileges like being able to have a cookie before bed then you don't deserve it. You like cookies don't you? Cookies and other privileges like riding your bike are more important than a little bit of safety for short time. Besides you wear your helmet. If your able to give up eating cookies or riding your bike to be safe then you really don't need to have those little perks. Being safe does not mean that you have to give up what you love.

    In the 1700'S Ben Franklin said "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety,deserve neither liberty nor safety". Witch means that they would give up essential liberty for a little safety.So they would give up a little liberty to get some safety. They would give up a little liberty to get temporary safety.

    2. Don't give freedom for safety.

    3. The quote "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety" in my mind means that if you give up freedom for safety that doesn't last very long, you shouldn't get it. You don't know what freedom is? Freedom is what this country was based on, freedom is a word meaning the ability to do what you want. Of course there are still rules for people to keep them safe without having to get rid of their freedom. But, you can choose whether to follow them or not.

    2.to get a little safety you might have to give up some liberty or pride.
    3. I would explain it by saying to get protection you might have to give something up. Liberty is pretty much justice and that is important to us. To give it up , you shud just not do it. Those who do shud face court . I do not think this is right.

    LL: Never give up something important for something that doesn't matter

    This quote has a true meaning. If you give up something that is important for something that isn't important, then you lose the right to have both of those things. Never give up something that has an impact on you for something that is as small and as unimportant as an insect. Liberty was one of the most important things people had and for someone to give that up for safety was very bad. Liberty meant that you had rights. Safety was nothing compared to that. Many people would fight for liberty before they fought for safety.

    3. Considering your a child you will always be safe. So would you give up your "toys" for little safety? Meaning would you give up something that means a lot to you for something that you might not have for a long time. If so then you dont deserve safety or the toy.

    2. The lesson learn is to not give up essential liberty.

    3. The quote is saying to not to give up essential liberty. That is meaning not to give away your belongings for safety. Would you give away your favorite toy because someone is being mean to you and if you give it to them so they don't hurt? No you should not because you are only getting a little safety it doesn't mean its not going to happen again. So think about what you are doing before you are doing it because you are only giving your self temporary safety.

    2.You can't give up liberty for safety, and if you do, you lose both.

    3. Ben Franklin says that you can't give up being a free person just so you can be safe. If you do that, you will not be a free person and you will also not be safe. You don't deserve to have both of those if you give up one of those for more of the other. So you can't give up part of your freedom for a little more safety. Or it's the other way, you can't give up some of your safety for a little more freedom.

    3.I would tell them that what he means is when you give up your liberty(freedom or your rights) for something, You shouldn't have the freedom or right's your provided or given.I also would explain that liberty means your freedoms and rights in a community.I would tell him that Ben means he cant just give up his freedom for a little bit of safety or something else you want.If he did, he doesn't deserve liberty or safety in Ben Franklin's opinion.That is how I would explain it to a young child.

    2. If you give up liberty for a little of safety then you should get no liberty and no safety.

    3. Liberty is a type of car that you have. It stands for freedom which is what we got when we moved to America. What the words say on the top of the page means if you were to give up your toy car for a little bit of candy then you don't deserve the candy of the car. The lesson trying to be said is telling use if we give up our right to be free our believes (which in your cause would be Santa and the Easter bunny) to be safe from something or some one then we don't deserve to be safe or have liberty. You will soon learn who Benjamin Franklin was but he gave us this light that let us see in the dark and that lets you have a night light.

Be thankful for what you have and not what you could have. If you trade something for something you think is better that will not last forever.Because if you do this you will have nothing.

    The people that will give up certain rights forever just for a small time of protection, do not deserve the rights or the protection.

    3. Explain this quote as if you were teaching a small child (one paragraph, 5 - 7 sentences)
    People who give certain things up for a short time of somthing else, do not deserve both of them. So, like kids that give up their cookies for a glass of milk, dont deserve to have the cookies or the milk at the same time. They chose something that will make them happier for a few moments than something that will make them happier longer.

    3. Don't give up something you love, for something that won't last. Don't give up something that you've had for a long time, for something that you can't have very long. For an example, don't give up a childhood toy, for money, that will be taken away. Never give away the things that are special to you, for something that is not. If, you were to give something special away, you would be sad.

    3. This quote means that if you are willing to give up a core value for limited safety you do not deserve the safety you give up. If you're willing to give up this right, you do not deserve this. People who'd do such a thing for un-guaranteed safety are foolish, and are taking advantage of what rights they have. If people are this foolish with this right, then do the really deserve to use it to buy safety? The answer is no.

    3. It means that you shouldn't give away your freedoms for safety. That freedom is better than being safe for a small amount of time. And its worth fighting for freedom instead of giving it up. Also that the people that give up liberty for protection don't deserve protection or liberty, Because they took the easier path, and wouldn't fight for what they really wanted to have.

    3.This quote means that if there is a person who would rather be safe and not free should not be free or safe.He probably said that because they would be wasting freedom that others fought for. It would be stupid to give up freedom for safety, its the wrong choice, you aren't really safe if you are not free. You are taking a small, temporary thing over a large, permanent thing that could help your life greatly. That's what i think this quote means.

    3. If you are giving something up that really means a lot to you, you shouldn't have it in the first place. You will probably loose the important thing and won't get anything back in return. You can't expect to gain somethng even better than the best. You never give up something important because the world isn't fair and you may loose instead of gain. Plus, if you give the best away, you are foolish to do so. You just want more and don't realize what you really have. Think before you act.

This also affects me because when that race could improve my running, I'm really losing all my hard work over the season.

    3. You should never give up your freedom for anything in this world. You will be able to do things you like and that you enjoy doing. Freedom is something that you will always have (unless you give it up)(never do that). Your rights are things that you are able to do. Never give those up either. You always need to have these things, to be happy.

    2. never give up your rights, because you probably wont get them back

    3. i had my rights to go uptown, and ride my bike and stuff. but every time i get a missing assignment, i get those rights taken away. then i cant hang out with my friends. also i cant go to footballs games with my friends, and have fun. all i can do is sit in my room with my lab top and my phone. And i cant go uptown, and go to the jumps. that's a example of losing rights, and not getting them back.

    2. (LL) You don't give money for freedom

    3. What this quote said is that you can't buy freedom you have to earn it. You need to stand up to people who are trying to take it from you and say "NO YOU WILL NOT TAKE MY FREEDOM".

    2. Feeling sad or disappointed about something

    3. I like this quote. I think it means a lot to us Americans who fight and strive for our freedom and Independence. There are a lot of innocent people in our country who sacrifice their lives for other people's freedom. I take it that he is saying that he wishes he could have more lives to sacrifice for our country.

    4. No because he is saying that he only regrets not having more lives to lose and sacrifice to our country, and other Americans to be free and independent. I might say the same thing but just state it a little bit differently. I would say God bless America.

    2. People give up their lives for some freedom but not a lot of freedom is given in the end.
    3. Some people fight to be free. These people give their lives up for this freedom. A lot of people do also give up things but they do not mean as much. Even when all those hard working people work hard they still do not get a lot of freedom. So fight for what you love.
    4.Choice because you can choose to want safety or freedom.

    2. He means if you give up your freedom for safetey, you don't deserve either.

    3. This quote means if you're going to give up your freedom for safety you don't deserve either of them. So if you give up an ice cream cone to be safe you won't be. However if you keep your ice cream cone, safety will come. If something doesn't go your way it's OK. With patience and dedication reward will come.

    4. Independence.
