Some of the things I think are exciting about growing up is becoming my own person. I can make my own decisions now. I don’t have a curfew any more. I get to do what I want. I also like knowing that I can be independent. I’m at the age where I can move out and start over new.There are some things though that aren’t so exciting, Like having to pay my own bills. I now have to start paying rent and utilities. I have to have a job now also. I have to work all the time to get the money I need for the things I need and want. Sometimes that makes me wish I was still little and didn’t have so much responsibility.

Assignment 7

When is breaking a law justified? I have two examples where that just happened. I think both example did the right thing. If the didn't break the law thing would still be the same.

The first example is the early Americans when the wanted to become independent form Britain. I think they needed to do this because if they didn't Britain would have kept "bullying" them around. It was a good thing that they stood up when no one Else would. They changed the country for ever.

The next example is the people during the Vietnam war burning their draft cards. This defiantly needed to be done. The country was not allowing young men to stat their own opinion about the war. They just threw them in with out any say so. The burning of draft cards made the government realize that it wasn't going to work.

Theses are some of the times i think u can break the law. Try to get the attention of important people need to be heard and have the freedom to do what they want.

Boston Massacre (reflection)

I learned that if you weren’t British than you were treated differently by the British soldiers. They had no reason to chase after those boys. They were just walking on the streets. I was surprised someone would actually act like that. Then they fired upon people because people were throwing SNOW balls at them? That’s just not right.
