Democracy to me

By margaret from Texas High School in Texas

If you have ever watched The Craft or played "light as a feather stiff as a board" you would understand what is going on here. This made me think of democracy. My friends and I lifted my other friend into the air, which represents to me as, common people (us) are helping each-other commonly solve  a problem. Each of us equally carrying the same weight to achieve the and solve to problem of my friend on the floor.
