unit 3 - assignment 1

Growing up is a whirl wind of emotions and changes, and to tell you the truth it’s kind of crazy. Growing up is definitely exciting for many reasons, such as the freedom that you acquire which allows you to go out with your friends and do more things on your own. Another thing is that you gain the capacity to feel strong emotions for a person, which is exciting and crazy and makes you feel all bubbly inside. Growing up is also painful. Sometimes when you’re young you’re blinded from the truth in situations with your family, or just with your world, which can become quite a surprise. It’s also painful because sometimes you want to already be driving, or already be out of the house. With that being said, it’s sometimes hard to stay on the high road; the right track. Although it’s hard to stay on the right road, it’s so, SO easy to make a wrong turn and after that it’s just a spiral downwards.

life during the Revolutionary era

Life during the Revolutionary era was a mess. During the Colonist's conquest for power, many people in the colonies were trying to gain full power of the colonies and express their own very strongly felt opinions that they felt had to be heard. There were many protests against "British tyranny" and there were also many movements for colonial rights. One of the things that surprised me the most, was not something that i read, but something that i didn't read. I read about 2 of the articles posted on the blog and I didn't see and action taken by King George while Patrick Henry was leading all of these protests and movements in favor of colonial rights.
