Assignment 1: Growing up

Growing up can be both exciting and painful; llife is not always fair there are many obstacles and troubles in life everyday. Nobodys life goes on without some kind of tragedy happening at some point of time, wheather its a break up of friendship with a best buddy, or a sad story they've read in the a magazine or newspaper, and if life cant get any painful someone you know or very close to you dies. Life can also be very exciting especially when something good happens to you. the most exciting time of year is Christmas time when everyone gets what they want that could be an exciting time in our life, but a painful time comes when you know that many people around the world couldn't afford to get anything for that time of year and it hurts you to know that.

Assignment 7: give me liberty or give me death

1. I learned from the document i read that patrick henry was the son of John and sarah henry two people who played a role in the revolutionary era. Henry was a symbol of Americas struggle for liberty and self-government. Patrick was a lawyer who was very good in politics and was a strong believer in the rights of citizens to bear arms; to have guns. Henry fought for this cause, he wanted rights for the people and their freedom. Henrys powerful words and most memoriable words were "Give me liberty or give me death"

2. The thing that surprised me the most about what i read was that because of Patrick henrys actions had something to do with the british march on on concord and it is to be said that; that was the beginning of the American Revolution.
