George Harrison was a great person and bass player! George came to America because he was on tour with the Beatles. They were pulled to America by the great fans they heard about and places to be. It was a voluntary migration because he chose to have toured here. They spoke English very well, but they had British accents. He got here by his private plane with the other Beatles aboard. When he arrived, there was a giant crowd of people waiting for them. Eventually, He faced getting divorced by his ex-wife Pattie Boyd. His childhood was the greatest of the Beatles because his parents didn’t die like the other Beatles. Most people did believe in him. He was a very brave man. No one was mean to him.

George was an American representative because he could get crowds to cheer for him and the Beatles. He was a key person because he and the rest of the band were loved by the whole world. The other foreign singers that came to America were not all loved by the whole world, but he was. It meant that he was a proud person who lived in America. America is a melting pot. All the different cultures and religions that form in America create it. George applied because he was from England and then came here. George should be a representative because he had the guts to come, sing, and die here. He started a family here with one child named Dhani. He gave money to Birmingham Children’s Hospital. One interesting fact is he looks the oldest, but he was the youngest Beatle. He was an unliked boy in school, but one year after he started dating a popular girl and he was instantly popular. Finally, his parents didn’t die like the other Beatles when he was a child. He was born on February 25, 1943. He was born in Liverpool England.

I chose this person because he was in one of the best bands in the world. He was in the Beatles. He inspired me because the Beatles are in my top 5 favorite bands. He represents our country because when the Beatles came to America, the fans wouldn’t let them off the plane. The cops got them off and the fans came chasing after them. He represented us because he was in one of the best bands in the world. He did not want to sing, but when he did sing he had a great voice. He did drugs which caused him to die. Yes, I did find this decision bad. My person’s actions did not change my opinion about him. He had throat cancer from the drugs. He caused many people to be shocked when he died. He took marijuana and alcohol which was a bad decision. People were shocked when he divorced Pattie Boyd. People were in shock when the Beatles broke up. He did not like not being in a band. The fans did not like them breaking up. “Try to realize it’s all within yourself no one else can make you change,” or “We are not these bodies or its being here now that’s important. There’s no past and there’s no future, time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can’t relieve it; and we can hope for the future, but we don’t know if there is one,” were two quotes that George turned into songs. He meant that you can always be confident even if you are not confident. You can be confident if you just believe. George Harrison cared and loved America!
