Olympic Symbol
I chose to draw this image because:
The rings- They are the Olympic rings
Inukshuk- There are some in Vancouver and they repersent the Inuit people
Mountains- The Mountains surround Vancouver
Title- Colours of the rings (but up and down)
Inukshuks neck strap- every Olympic medal

Light's will guide you home
I was watching a video called "Light's will guide you home." All the torchbearers were full of joy running with a group of people. When the torch comes by everyone is full of emotion. The Olympics shows what everyone has been through and how hard they have worked. The Olympics mean alot to all sorts of people. I think its neat that in different places the have to run up stairs or have the torch thrown on to the Cauldren. The torch is always first lit in Olympia Greece (Mount Olympia) where it first started!Hans-Gunter Winkler
