Yankee doodle

By-Justin Kassel and Nano Demientieff

Verse 1
Father and I went down to camp along with captain gooding there we see the men and boys as thick as hasty-pudding.

A boy and his dad are both soldiers. Maybe Captain Gooding is the boss of their regiment. The men and boys are big (husky).

Yankee doodle keep it up, Yankee doodle dandy Mind the music and the step And with the girls be handy.

This means keep going and dandy is think there all that and cool also with the girls be handy Means act cool around the girls.

Verse 3
The flaming ribbons in their hats They lookd so tearing fine, ah; I wanted plaguily to get To give to my Jemima.
Jemima means a girl and plaguily means badly.

Yankee Doodle represents British people who were making fun of the patriots and Then the patriots sang it back to the British. It was just a song making fun of how Dumb the British are but it was first sang for the patriots. There is no event for the song we couldnt find what war it was in.

*Patriots struggling for money while British are wasting it.

*The British were making fun of the patriots. the patriots song back to the British mocking.

*Also Doodle means a fool and Yankee means a person who lives or is In the U.S.

The mood in Yankee Doodle is HUMOUROUS because the song is loud and in a happy voice like its loud and fast.

Our evidence is Father and I went down to camp. Along with Captain Gooding. There we see the men and boys. As thick as hasty-pudding.

This song is important because British made fun of the Patriots then the Patriots took the song and sang it to the British.

We learned that making fun of the British its not surprising the the song was popular.
