ReplyDeleteWe use the poppy to help us remember all the people who had died in the wars. The reason the poppy helps us remember is that there were many poppies on the battlefield but they were all white. The blood from the people who were injured or the people who had died, gave a deep, scarlet red to the poppies on the battlefield. This is why we still wear poppies to this day.

ReplyDeleteWhy Do We Use Poppies To Help Us Remember The Two World Wars And Other Conflicts
ReplyDeleteScarlet corn poppies grew naturally in the barren battlefields, where World War 1 was fought. As these were the only plants in the battlefields where soldiers died, they are now used to remember the dead. Another reason why they make a good symbol for rememberance is that they are very fragile flowers that only live for a short time like the many young soldiers who died at a younge age. Last but not least, the red poppy reminds us of the blood that has been shed during various wars.

ReplyDeleteWe use the poppies to help us remember people who have died in wars. In world war 1, poppies grew in the battlefields were people fought. They were white poppies, not red poppies so the stain of blood from the injured soldiers, made the poppies turn to a scarlet coloured poppy, known as the scarlet corn poppy(popaver rhoeas). That is why we use poppies for Remembrance Day (Poppy Day or Armistice Day) and a charity called the Poppy Appeal, supported by The Royal British Legion, sells poppies and the money helps soldiers who are in the armed forces, who used to be in the armed forces and their families.

The reason why we wear poppies is because it shows care and concern about people and soldiers who died in the battle field. The poppies were not actually that colour, they were white, yellow and many more. The red represents the blood of people who some times had the same blood relationship as us. There is always 2mins of silence on the 11th month, 11th day, 11th hour, 11th minute and the 11th second. The black part of the poppy represents the evil deeds of murder and death and the green part represents the strong bond of friendship and peace through the countries. On this very day people and soldiers remember that the soul of dead people is still alive and what they did, and if not, what they tried to do to help our country.
