American flag’s history.

The United States flag is far more than the red, white and blue cloth of which it is made. As a living symbol of America it stands for the past, present and future of this country. It symbolizes American people, American land and American way of life. The flag represents the men and women who built America. It reminds us of the native Americans who inhabited the continent for thousands of years, of Pilgrims finding a place to worship their God, of pioneers building homes in a new land, of Washington leading a young nation, of Lincoln holding that nation together, of Martin Luther King Junior’s dream of justice and equality for all, and of the men and women of all races and beliefs who fought and died for this country.

The flag of the United States of America has 13 stripes-7 red and 6 white-and 50 white stars on a blue field. The stripes remind us of the 13 original colonies gained and united by Americans. The stars represent the 50 American states.

The flag of today evolved out of many earlier flags raised in days gone by. For several centuries after European explorers first sailed to North America, the flags of Spain, Holland, France, England and Sweden flew over different parts of the continent. An English flag known as the Red Ensign waved over American colonies from 1707 until the beginning of the Revolutionary War. It was the merchant flag of England.

Today Americans celebrate June 14 as Flag Day. The 50-th star – for Hawaii – was added on July 4, 1960.

You look upset what to you

There isn’t really a difference between them, but u can’t use them in a chat when you don’t actually see the person

If you want to say the same thing in a chat, you could say, «you seem upset» or «you seem sad» because that can apply just to words as well (you don’t have to see the person).

Upset could mean sad, angry, or any other negative emotion. People will interpret it all the same though.

What are you upset (about / for)?

wanabee

He looked angry all morning, so I finally asked, «what are you so upset (about/for)?»

I made up the sentence, but I’m not sure if I should use «about» or «for» at the end of the question.
Could someone explain the differences if any?

«About» refers to the subject of your being upset. «I’m upset about my telephone service.»

«For» refers to the reason you are upset. «I’m upset because my telephone service is poor.»

RM1(SS)

Senior Member

What for = Why, so «What are you so upset for?» = «Why are you so upset?»

«What are you so upset about?» = «What has caused you to be so upset?»

«What are you so upset about?» = What has caused you to be upset? (Bad telephone service, father yelled at me, etc.)

«What wre you so upset for?» = Why are you reacting so strongly to the thing that caused you to be upset? (I slept badly last night and have a headache, so I’m overreacting to my phone having dropped a call.)

Florentia has explained this pretty well. I would just like to add this:

What are you so upset about? This makes the assumption that you are upset about something, not just in a bad mood. I could respond «I’m upset over my tax bill,» or I could respond «Who needs a reason to be upset? I hate it here!» Or, «Who says I’m upset?»

What are you so upset for? If this is said in a certain tome of voice, or under certain circumstances it can imply that you have no right to be upset. So I might ask «What are you so upset for? You’re getting everything you wanted.» Or «What are you so upset for? I’m the one who should be upset!»
