When Me and Sons Come Home

My sons and I are marching through the fields to get to the ashes that used to be our house. Then we marched proudly to my sons' aunt's house. This is what happened when we got there. My wife ran to us crying tears of joy. Happy that WE were alive. She told us what happened when we left. Here is the conversation: "Oh I am so happy you are all alive!" "And by the way boys you three are in big trouble! Especially you John. You were suppose to stop your brothers from sneaking out to join the war, because you are the oldest. But instead you snuck out to join the war too!" "BOYS YOU TOLD ME THAT YOUR MOTHER TOLD YOU TO JOIN THE ARMY IN THE DARK SO THE BRITISH DID NOT SEE YOU!!! SO YOU ARE IN EVEN MORE TROUBLE FOR LYING!!!" "Oh boy. RUN!!!!" "Now everybody CALM DOWN!!!" Then it went silent. After a few moments of silence their aunt said, "Good now let's all have cookies." while we ate cookies this NEW conversation went on: "Well I start my job tomorrow." And the boys and I start working in the field tomorrow." "These next few years are going to be tough." But if we pray maybe just maybe some where in the future things will get better for All of us."

The Letter of the War

Here is the letter I wrote to my wife:

Dearest Shaylee,

This was the most horrifying experience in my LIFE!! First thing that happened is that happened during the war was that some men and I were in this small group that ambushed some of the small British groups. Some of the things I witnessed were indecent men being shot, our men AND their slicing and stabbing each other to the death. The things I smelt were disgusting. I smelt blood, decaying bodies gun powder, and smoke from fires. I barely survived the war. But this was just the beginning. Then the real war starts. It was like taking turns, so it was colonies shoot then the British shoot. I also witnessed peoples legs being torn right from under them by cannonballs. Now I think on July 4th I will think about how we won our freedom and celebrate like everyone else. There is going to be a WHOLE LOT of work to do thanks to the British armies. Luckily all of our sons our alive. By the way Mary sent that letter from her to me. I have one question why did you NOT mention our three sons? Anyway I have to get a job and you and the boys have to grow more plantation. We are going to use the money we have to get our land back and to be able to get the supplies we need to build a house.

Off To War

Dear my most trustworthy friend Mary, my husband has been one of the men who chosen to fight in war against King George and his wretched army! It is a most terrifying and saddest day of my life! I am so sorry if your son or husband has gone to war! He is spending his last few days preparing for war. Yesterday I heard a knock on the door. When I answered it it was... John Adams! That's when I was excited. John Adams asked if he could speak to my husband. I told him he was out in the the field with my most kind voice I could choke out. While John Adams went talk to my husband I started to think about the things that led to this war, like the Boston Tea Party. The Boton Tea went a little over board, but at least it got the British to take off the taxes on tea. After John Adams left, my husband told me that he was randomly chosen to fight in war so we colonist can have our independence.Just like in Common Sense by Thomas Paine. I feel grateful for some of the things that led up to this war and I am also mad that happened!!!! One things I am happy that happened was the Boston Tea Party, because there are no more taxes on tea. The one thing I am mad about that happened was the Stamp Act, because the British started putting exspencive taxes on everything. Right now he is doing everything he ever wanted to do... Which would be pranking the British soldiers. Why can't there be just peace plain paece?!? Anyway what he did the last two days he went cliff diving, and pranking British soldiers. Don't ask me why he wants to prank British soldiers. I am feeling anger and RAGE about this WAR, because we are at the perfect spot in life and now this!! Then this war just appeared out of no where!! The war is interupting the perfect time in life. Please try to write back soon!

Your dear friend,
Shaylee

P.S. Curse King George and his wretched army!!!
