Rise to Rebellion
By: Jeff Shaara
Within the midst of agitating the citizens of America, the Americans begin to feel as though they are being abused. And in such an aggravating situation many men of Boston are beginning to rebel against their "Just Ruler". Which is disturbing the laws and peace of the British and his majesty. The Sons of Liberty respond to the tea plan, which is brought in from Britain, by throwing the tea overboard. Many may know this act as the Boston Tea Party. And these acts of rebellion are beginning to enrage the iron fist of his majesty. Many of those within this true spirit of striving for independence are John and Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin, General Thomas Gage and many more to be read.
The Revolution in which this independence had brought to us all had been the American Revolution. Just as shown within the book the British had abused the Americans as they had thought themselves to be superior. Yet these acts of abuse would not be allowed by the Americans as they had so wished it to be and as they held to their laws the Americans fought for their rights. Various members had contributed to the thought of revolution such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Samuel Adams and many more. Wars and battles were fought during the year of 1776 which had resulted in the United States we know today.
How has the pride of being an American citizen differed from that of during the fight for independence? Though my research question may still be a little rough I know for certain that I want to research on something to do with American citizenship.

This is a really moving post you accomplished in such a short time. I'm not fully clear on your question but it seems like i will be clarified on that later.
ReplyDeletewow u write very beautiful easy if read very focused you can understand it and the meaning behind everything. same with danny about the question a little rough to understand.
ReplyDeleteLeslie,
ReplyDeleteIt seems there is quite a bit of personal relevance for you in this question. I wonder, is there a character in Shaara's text that represents patriotism? Then perhaps you can explore patriotism then and now, and how various characters help shape that? Just a thought. We can work through this together. Just remember to keep the research question focused on the text as well. I'm sooooo excited to see what you come up with! :)
