Control is to the difficulty of Britian having colonies on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean as parent rules are to their child on vacation with a friend. -Britian had some control over the colonists but they couldn't control if the colonists actually did as they said. Just like the parents, they don't have total control since they are so far away.

Fighting for land is to French and Indian War as saving the seals is to animal activist. -The Indians were afraid of losing their land and the animal activists are afraid that the seals may become extinct if they don't protect them from hunters.

Unfair taxes is to the Stamp Act as unfair rules is to the dress code. -Britain put taxes on everything without letting the colonists having a say in it just like with the dress code. The students didn't have any say in the dress code.

A place to stay is to the Quartering act as the homeless shelter is to the homeless. -The soldiers were given a temporary place to stay just like the homeless are.

Out speaking is to Taxation without Representation as chanting an encore is to a concert. - In both situations the people want their voices heard.

The border line is to the Proclomation of 1763 as out of bounds is to basketball. - If the colonists crossed the line, then there would be a war. If someone crossed the out of bounds line in basketball, the other team would get the ball. Both lines cause something bad if you cross them.

Change is to the sons of liberty as Facebook is to communication. -The sons of liberty wanted to change the way the British government treated the colonies. Facebook changes the way we communicate to other people.

A few angry people is to the Boston Massacre as bullying is to suicide. -It only takes a few people to make a big deal out of something.

The safety of the colonistis is to the midnight ride of Paul Revere as the fire alarm is to the safety of people in a burning building. -Paul Revre screaming was a warning just like the fire alarm is a warning.

The dumping of tea in the Boston harbor is to the Boston Tea Party as refusing to buy bottled water is to avoiding the 5 cent bottle deposit. -The colonists didn't want to pay the tax on the tea so they refused to buy it so they dumped it into the harbor. If you don't want to pay the extra five cents then don't buy the water.

Beginning is to the shot heard around the world as the school bell is to the start of the day. -The first shot started the massacre just like the school bell starts the day.

Freedom is to the Declaration of Independence as the Emancipation Proclamation is to the freedom of slavery. -The Declaration of Idependence declared the colonists freedom from England and the emancipation proclomation declared the freedom of slavery.

Sneak attack is to the Battle of Trenton as snooping around is to a robbery. -George Washington and his army made a surprise attack to the Hessians just like a robber does to a bank.

Evil is to the Hessians as violence is to gangs. -The Hessians were evil and gangs are violent.

The final battle is to the Battle of Yorktown as the World Series is to baseball. -The final battle ends it all just like the World Series ends the season of baseball.
