Is like the difficulty of having a son/daughter in the War of Iraq. It is a hard thing to get over knowing that anytime over in Iraq that your son/daughter could be killed in action. Britian having colinies in America is hard because you don't know what could happen to your son/daughter in the New World. Is like a Billy Mays Commercial because he is really loud and he wants you to buy the product he is advertising. In the French and Indian War the French and Indians were yelling and screaming about how they want the British on their side. Is like a parent giving their children rules. King George said the colinists can't do something just like parents tell their kids they can't do something. Is like the any post office. They make you pay for stamps and if you don't have any stamps they won't send your letter. The British made the American's pay for a tax for stamps if they wanted to send something. Is like your parents giving you everything you need to live. The colinists had to take care and give the British soldiers everything they needed to live. Is like when you get in trouble for something you didn't do. The colinists were being taxed by the British for no reason. Is like a modern day gang because the Sons of Liberty was an orginization that resisted England laws and taxes. Gangs today resist and break laws like the Sons of Liberty. Is like 9/11. They both were tragic things that shouldn't have happened. Many more Americans died in 9/11 but some Americans were injured and died in the Boston Massacre. Is like Hurricane Katrina. In Hurricane Katrina many parts of New Orleans were destroyed. In the Boston Tea Party the colinists destroyed all of the British tea.

Is like the winning goal in the FIFA World Cup because people all around the world play soccer and lots of people will talk about who won the game for their country. The Shot Heard Round the World was important because it started the Revolutionary War. Is like a kid moving out of the house. The colinists said that they don't need or want England's help. When a kid moves out of the house he is declaring that he doesn't need his parents support anymore. Is like one of the big choices you will make in your life. If the colinists had chosen not to follow Washington across the Deleware we wouldn't be here today. Are like Ancient Egyptian mercenaries. People who are mercenaries are paid to kill people. The Hessians were paid by the British to fight the Americans while the Egyptians were paid by Pharaoh Ramesses II to fight his battles. Is like the climax of a good book.
