ASSIGNMENT ONE: GROWING UP

How can growing up be both exciting and painful??

Well while growing up I've had good and bad times. That's just a part of everyday life. Sometimes when you're a little kid you are so anxious to grow up and be a grown up, but when you do and have to deal with the responsibilities of being a grown up you want to be a kid again. It can be exciting because you get to experience so many things that you probably couldn't do as a child it also can be painful because some times you aren't ready to experience certain situations. Then you are feeling very lost cause you probably are normally use to your parents help with things and then suddenly when you grow up you're on your own. Personally that's how I feel about growing up.











DOCUMENT REFLECTION UNIT TWO: THE BOSTON MASSACRE

What I learned while reading this article was that the Americans were really being treated badly by the British. I read in the American history book that the Boston Massacre was started by little boys throwing snowballs at the British soldiers. Then in this article its like the soldiers just started shooting innocent people that were just standing around. It really doesn't matter which reason it was because they still didn't have a reason to hurt and put innocent people in danger. What surprised me most about the situation was that the British didn't have any remorse about what they did. I can't believe that some people could be so heartless and think about no one other than themselves.
