Social Studies Revolutionary War Paper

Imagine you are living inside the Revolutionary War, you are alone because your parents are gone. First of all what would you do. In the movie “The Patriot” and the book War Comes to Willy Freeman Gabriel and Benjamin have gone to war leaving there kids alone, and Willy’s Mather is gone, there is also similarities and differences between the book and the Movie.


In the book War comes to Willy Freeman Willy looks for her mom because she is captured by the British. Willy’s dad was killed in action while in a warzone. It is pretty accurate because it had characters like George Washington and General Cornwallis. It also had a lot of things that the British did like burning down cities and killing innocent civilians.

Though this is great book on the Revolutionary War there is also a movie called The Patriot. This movie is about a Father and his son going to war. The family name is Martin. The Patriot shows how brutal the British were by killing children and slaves. This movie is very accurate on the things the British did. Another thing that this movie shows is how the Contenental Army was a lot smarter and had more strategy than the British had.

There are many similarities with the book and the movie. They both talk about the war and how children were left alone during the war. Both of these also involve kids having to step up and do things like joining the army. A lot of the weapons like muskets and bayonets were used in both the book and movie as well. Another thing that is the same is the characters that were used like George Washington and General Cornwallis.

While there are similarities with the book and the movie there are also differences. The story is completely different in the book Willy is searching for her mom and in The Patriot Benjamin and his son are fighting in the Militia. Another thing that is different is the main characters in the book it is about the Arabus family and the Movie is about the Martin family.

Although there are similarities and differences with these two things, these are both good learning materials about the Revolutionary War. They both talk about how strong and organized the British were. If I were teaching about this I would recommend both of these.

Historical Fiction Paper

The battle started on April 12, 1861 when the Confederacy under the command of P.G.T Beauregard shot their cannons at our supply ship carrying our food, ammunition, and our drinking water. Our men were down to eating crackers and some of the drinking water we had left. We were running out of water and crackers quickly and we were going to starve to death without the food. The Confederacy hated us being in South Carolina, it was supposed to be their territory. Robert Anderson was our leader in the fort we had communication with the rest of the Union. Our headquarters said that they would attempt to send another ship without guns or ammunition on the ship . The Union told the Confederacy that there would be no guns or ammunition on the ship, but the Confederacy still shot down the ship.

The Confederacy obviously wanted to start a battle with us, and their obvious intention was to get us out of the fort . We would not go down without a fight. Robert Anderson ordered for us to fire back. We started to fire at the confederacy, we figured we had the advantage. We quickly discovered something horrible though. Our cannons were not strong enough to reach the confederacy . We quickly ran out of ammunition for the cannons as well once the Confederacy saw this they started to get into ships and move toward us cannons were constantly fired at our fort.

The confederacy fired at our fort for 34 straight hours at our fort. The reason why we could not hit them back was because it was too risky to use our best cannons at the top of the fort. If we used these cannons we would all get killed easily. On April 13 we had to evacuate the fort. There were no Union causalities or any men KIA. Though there was one Confederate causality caused by one of the confederate cannon misfires. We escaped using ships Abraham Lincoln sent for help. Our fort was completely destroyed. Most importantly though is that the Civil War had begun.

The Giver

I thought thr Giver was an okay play. I thought they needed alot I more props though I mean with the apple thing and the babies. That is pretty pathetic I thought it would be much better if they had better backrounds. All they had was a table and a few chairs, they can do much better than that.

Mini Lock in

I didn't go to the mini lock in. But it sounded ok I did not think it was worth the money to go to though. I also heard you could win a ninteno wi there to, but I don't even like those. It is good for student coucil to put all that money to a hospital . At least all the money went to a good cause.

Laptops at home

I think it is pretty cool we get to take home our laptops. It good because we can work on homework on the internet at home. The downfall is that we get more homework since teachers know we have our laptops to work on it at home.

After three straight blows to the head, he punched me so hard I blacked out. I awoke still tied up in a chair, but I would never tell him where our secret base was hiding.
“Please! Ple-e-e-ease! Please let me go!”someone in another torture chamber yelled.
I didn’t know what would happen to me here, I certainly did not want to die here. The man who was torturing me left. All of a sudden I see him come back in with a gun. Then I hear gun shots and the man in the room laughed. I knew I was next. He aimed the pistol toward me, but then the door burst open. Then I see flashes of gunshots coming from the doorway. I see the interrogator drop dead to the floor.
A man walks in, it was the U.S. Marines, they instantly untie me from the chair. Then one of them throws me an assault rifle, it’s time to leave. As we are running out I hear explosions.
“What’s happening!” I yell
“I don’t know” One of the marines yells
Then there is an explosion I go into shell shock I can barely hear. I get helped up by another marine. They say we have to jump out the window in the river. One of the marines yells and jumps out the window. I go next, but jump to far and try to roll on my shoulder instead of going legs first. I roll and look towards the window. The last marine jumps out, but as he does the buildings explode. He is caught in the explosion and gets launched by it. He lands on his side next to me. He is alright.
We jump in the river and take a boat. They tell me to lay down, I’ve been through a lot. I lay down. I wake up to one of the marines shaking me. He says we need to get to a plane. We steal it easily with some disguise uniforms on the ship. In about 3 hours we are back in America. Soon we get to a base, one of the commanders there says I can go home, to my family.
