The People In This World

I've been flipping through these blogs, and I'm wondering if I am the only sane person here.  O.O
Very Creepy.

Declaring our Independence

Dear fellow Colonist,

     I am here to inform you of the need to gain independence.  We have noticed lately the corrupted government we are ruled by, and the laws they have harshly given to our people without our consent.
     The British has taxed us several times in the past, even though we have no say in the Parliament.  We have been taxed on printed goods, sugar products, and much more.  Why should we pay extra money just because they say so?  Why should they have that kind of power over us?  If they can pass the Townshend Acts,  the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act, and the Intolerable Acts, what other laws might they pass in the future?  They have complete control over us, and they could take away our property if they wanted to.  This is unjust.
     Please remember the incident that took place not that long ago, the Boston Massacre.  The Redcoat have murdered our people.  They are rogues, beasts.  While our defenseless people stood up and expressed their feelings, the devilish British soldiers slaughtered them.  Do you think what they did is right?  They could just march in and kill your family, for all they care.
     The British Government has violated our rights.  We believe that man are created equal, and that we have natural rights.  Rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  We the People should have control over the government.  If it is ruling unfairly, we should be able to change the way its behaving.  This is the kind of Government we can give you, if you join us in this journey towards Independence.
     We have the willpower, the weapons, and the strength to defeat the British.  We will defeat the British.  After that, a new golden era will appear.  It is up to you to join us, battle with us, and to savor the freedom!

Patrick Henry

     Patrick Henry was born in Hanover Country, Virgina.  He received most of his education from his father and uncle.  He had first begun his career as a farmer, but than he switched to working in a tavern after a fire burned down his home.  During 1760, Patrick Henry had decided to become a lawyer.  He had realized that he wanted to help people and had a talent for public speaking.  The arguments he had against the British made him very well-known.  He also protested against the Stamp Act.  After the Boston Tea Party, he traveled with Washington to Philadelphia for the First Continental Congress.  Then, during the very peak of his career, he made one of the most famous speeches in American History.  He convinced people that they must fight against the British.  Give me Liberty or give me Death!  This speech motivated Virgina to march towards independence.  After signing the Declaration of Independence during July 4, 1776, he has elected first governor of Virgina.  He then accomplished a difficult feat of changing the royal colony into a self-governing republic.  Patrick Henry died of cancer on June 6, 1799 on his plantation in Red Hill, Virginia.  Patrick Henry was a leader, a public speaker, and a lawyer.  He had used his life to help bring the American Revolution.  We could not have done this without him.

The Boston Massacre

This picture shows the British firing upon the undefended Americans.  It seems as though one of the British Commanders were instructing them to do so.  The wounded Americans had collapsed into another person's arms, and there is large amounts of blood everywhere.  If I was a colonist, and I hadn't seen the scene happen beforehand, I would have thought the British was monsters.  Firing randomly into my people would have been unjust.  The " King Street Massacre" and the " Bloody Massacre", would have been viewed upon as the murder of the colonists by the British.  I would've been even more enraged to discover only two of the soldiers were found guilty.  This propaganda had changed many people's thoughts of the British into thinking of them badly.  The name itself, " The Bloody Massacre", had scared and angered many people too.

The Sons of Liberty


The Sons of Liberty are portrayed as colonial knights for justice.  Their masked faces makes them seem slightly mysterious.
The British are portrayed as the opposing team, lots of men with sharp weapons.  It seems as though they have surrounded the Sons of Liberty, but the Sons of Liberty are standing higher then them, as if they're more powerful.
I think the Author is for them because they are portrayed in a bold and powerful way.  The Author clearly thinks highly of them.
I like the picture because they represent the Sons of Liberty as big and heroic.
There is no reason why I don't like the picture.
Yes, I would've joined the Sons of Liberty because I believe in their cause and because I wouldn't have wanted to miss out on anything during the colonial times.  Taring and Feathering Officials would have been hilarious.

About Me

    Hello, ...everyone. 
    I am currently having a moment of writer's block.  Or is it typer's block?  Anyways...I am doing this for Social Studies, and I am currently eating a strawberry.  I don't like strawberry at all.  Oranges and apples aren't my favorite either.  I prefer pineapple or mango.
    After school Activities?  I am currently participating in Cross Country.  And from that I have gained a few blisters, blood, and one of my toenail is very loose.  It stung for days and now it doesn't hurt but there is a big gap between my nail and toe.  I have a feeling you didn't need to know that but I really felt like sharing the disgusting image with you.
    I like to read and write.  I know that does not sound exciting but I love to read.  Writing is fun too, but I only can focus on one story for a couple of months, after that, its just a pain.  I also enjoy swimming laps. Playing on my instruments can be really relaxing too.
   Most of my friends are awesome, and each is awesome in her own way.  Just like how one of my friends is an enjoyable teasing target, and another one of my friends will bike all the way home from school and come all the way back just to get a frappuccino for me ( Thanks Whitney).
    And here is a little about my sister.  She is five years old and a really big pain in the neck.  She cut my hair once without me noticing, and that resulted in everyone staring at my head and asking what happened.  She's torn and scribbled on my homework.  Once I bought a snicker-doodle cookie at school and put it in my backpack just for her.  It was my favorite kind and it took all my willpower not to eat it.  When she got home, I warmed it up and presented to her.  She took one look at it and said yuck.  I have also wasted a lot of time teaching her the letters of the alphabet, her name, numbers, and addition.  I am currently teaching her how to pronounce letters and spell words.  But I guess one day, when shes old enough, I can tell her all the things I've done for her and force her to become my person slave.
    A little about my educational life, I go to Boulan Park Middle School.  I am in 8th grade, and I'm writing this for a Social Studies assignment.  But the day isn't getting any longer and I still have to study for a quiz and make a birthday card.  And thank goodness, I just finished the last sour strawberry.  I hope you enjoyed what you just read and decided that it wasn't a total waste of your time.  Goodbye, and have fun doing what you like to do the most.


- Code Geass rocks!!!
