Boston Narrative

The tension between the colonies and Britain was nothing new. There were several occasions where the colonies became greatly infuriated with the unpleasant treatment they were receiving. Prior to the year 1770, much of the outcry came from the acts passed by the British government, such as the Stamp Act, Quartering Act, and Declaratory Act (“A Timeline of the American Revolution”). Even though the colonists were infuriated, it would take something more to push them over the edge. This something would turn out to be what is now called the Boston Massacre. Although the Boston Massacre won’t go down as the deadliest massacre in American history, it will go down as one of the most pivotal turning points due to the colonists’ depiction of the event.

When people ask me where I am from and I say Cleveland, they often react as if I had said “vanilla.” But if I say Believeland, they perk up and typically want to hear more.

On october 19, 1781 the British army surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia. Although the treaty had yet to be signed, American independence had been accomplished. The Patriots had pulled off the most improvable upset by defeating the most powerful military of the day. Although the British had more troops, were highly trained, had more supplies, and a strong navy, the Patriots prevailed. Under the leadership of George Washington along with technological advancements in weaponry, aid from foreign allies, new fighting techniques, coupled with medical innovations and an extensive spy ring, a new nation is born.

September 12th, 2015. We had arrived in Boston the day before after a ten hour drive which wasn’t as bad as you’d think it would be. Sure, it definitely felt like a ten hour drive, but it was an entirely new experience for me. I crossed the US border for the first time, received by first American dollar bill, and to pass the time, I kept track of every different license plate I laid my eyes on; 16 different states and provinces to be exact. The ideas that a mother and son duo from a tiny community in Quebec came across another person with a California plate on their car intrigued me, and this really made time fly. Before we knew it, we were entering the city of Boston.

Was the Boston Massacre used as propaganda after event took place? The Massacre occurred in 1770 on the night of March 5. The event resulted in the British army shooting and killing 5 men while under attack by a so called “mob”. The shootings took place right outside of The Old State House. Eight shooters were arrested, but soon after their trials it came down to only two of the six to be convicted of manslaughter. This led to colonial leaders like Paul Revere and Samuel Adams publicizing the event. The publicity was used to change the way colonists felt about the British authorities and in particular was used to help unite the colonies and spread the cause of Independance. As a result of the Boston Massacre, the colonists were able to use

Founded on September 7th, 1630, Boston was one of the largest cities in North America, and was also a hotbed for revolutionary Patriots in the late 1700’s. Yet very little meaningful fighting happened around this area, despite its size, and the some 28,000 men in and around it. It was because of the Continental Army's lack of discipline, trained officers and adequate equipment, and the British force's laziness around orders and lack of enthusiasm for going on the offensive that made the Siege of Boston an avoidable, and pointless stalemate.

The main idea of this article is how the a Bostonain was agruing with a boy named Malcom about how Malcom rough handling a boy off the street. The mood of image was detrimed, They were detrimed to push the things down the boy throat, they didnt care about what they was doing to the boy they just wanted him to feel pain how the boy off the street felt. The image support the text becaue the image show the Bostantains , the boy, and how they was shoving the things down his throat. Also, the image shows the rope being tied around his neck and the Stamp Act being on the Liberty Tree. What events does the broadside depict? Well, let me tell you some events that occured. It all started by this boy named Malcom and a Bostonian named George, George didnt like how Malcom was treating this boy off the street so George decdiced to to confront Malcom about it.

The second grievance that I found important is “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance” because he attacked the people in ways that over powered them.

The British troops had occupied Boston for quite some time leading up to 1776 and George Washington and his army felt the dire need to bring Boston back into their control in order to make large strides in the war effort. Therefore, during March of 1776, the colonial troops bombarded Boston and its British occupants. Eventually, the British retreated and left Boston for the Patriots. The victory at Boston was a major accomplishment for the colonial army not only because they had reclaimed Boston, but they had also defeated the British troops. The British troops were known for their immense skill, especially compared to the unskilled and unprepared colonial

It was a cool saturday morning in february, as I was violently woken up by my alarm clock. I rose out of my bed, and started preparing for my championship hockey game later that day. I got up out of bed and refreshed myself as I stretched. I grabbed my dress shirt and my dress pants and went to my parents room to iron my clothes. Not knowing that the iron was already on and hot, I picked up the iron. The iron fell on my foot, and I frantically grabbed it off the floor. I hoped that it wouldn’t start a fire. My foot was burning with pain. I knew in my head that today was going to be a struggle. Unfortunately, it had to be on the same day of my league championship game.

The British first started with a northern conquering strategy, the plan seemed simple conquer New England (Boston Specifically) and the colonies would soon fall but that didn’t go as planned. After the Battle of Bunker Hill the patriots soon realized they had a chance, the British had suffered a huge blow with an extreme loss of soldiers in one battle and soon the war seemed to be not just a slight bump in the road for the British, but an all out fight for freedom. In January seventeen seventy six, the Patriots reached the upper hand with cannons captured from Fort Ticonderoga that they used to fortify the city of Boston, so when the British reached Boston they were forced to retreat to Canada realizing the city of Boston was no longer in their

During April of 1775 the Revolutionary War had officially begun, at Lexington, with “the shot heard around the world.” I wish I had known who had fired that shot, so I could praise them for being the best help they could for our country. The 700 British against the 77 minutemen right near my home in Boston was not a pretty sight, and the fact that 8 of our people died and we lost the battle, made me second guess the war. I had seen war before and how detrimental it was to all involved, but I knew this war had to be fought and I was ready to be strong and brave for my country. The Battle of Concord, however, had lifted my spirits and made me realize that there was no turning back, so we had to fight. As three British died, and as their 700 soldiers retreated back through Boston, I fired at them from my home, in hopes of aiding the war effort and making them pay for the pain they had caused me, by killing or wounding 300 of them. An American victory really lifted my spirits, and made me want to win the war that had begun at all

It was the top of the seventh, and the Freeburg Rebels had a 1 run lead. After one of my teammates made the last out, I headed to the mound for the bottom of the last inning. While warming up, I could feel the scorching heat piercing my skin. As the first batter walked up to the plate, the umpire yelled out “Play Ball”! Despite this being one of the most important moments in my baseball career, I wasn’t nervous. I was locked in. On the first pitch, the catcher held up a 1, signaling for a fastball. I started my windup and continued to throw the pitch. The batter swung out of his shoes like he was trying to take one over the Green Monster at Fenway Park. Channeling my inner Bob Gibson, I threw the 2 filthiest breaking balls I’ve ever thrown

Two hours into the trip, I received a call from Dr. Neuro #1’s office saying I was booked to see a neurosurgeon in Memphis, Tennessee, on Monday. Even though it was Thursday afternoon when the receptionist asked me if I could make the appointment, I said, “Yes.” I hung up and felt panic. How was I going to get from Florida to Memphis? I was wheelchair bound and had difficulty doing anything for myself. By this point, I had to eat with plastic forks and spoons because regular silverware was simply too heavy for me to lift. I called Rose who said she would take me to Memphis once we returned home and not to worry. She said she would work it all out. Kevin and I continued our trip to Florida.

It is also assumed that the act of telling a story can provide insight into past, present and future events (Espinoza, 1997). By going through this process, individuals can find the importance of certain events and assign roles to people who are a part of their story. This act can allow a client to find new meaning and understanding to their reality (Espinoza, 1997). Not only is a
