What Would I Tell America's Founding Fathers?

Author's Note: Few people might think that when the Declaration of Independence was written it was just a few men writing what they feel is right but no, it was in a room where a whole group of men where arguing and talking and deciding what to write to thing king but there where a few men that stood out.

The Founding fathers where John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and George Washington. What would I tell America’s founding fathers? Would they ask what the country is like today? Not many people know who the founding fathers are or what they did to help this country. I think that everybody who lives in America and is an American should know about them.

Now each father had a big part in the in the U.S. Confederation, Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independance was serving as ambassador to France at the time of the convention. John Adams wrote “Defense of the Constitution of the Government of the United States of America.” The founding fathers were many different types of people like soldiers, diplomats, politicians, or any ordinary citizen. The most importants types where Signers and Framers. They all took part in winning American independence and creating the United States of America. If I could ask a question to the founding fathers I would ask if it was really true if regular ordinary citizens helped create and form America. I know it’s because of the citizens that there is still an America today but I mean was there people actually being able to maybe suggest to write something down on the Declaration of Independance like how did it exactly work?

Now the most important founding father was obviously George Washington the first president but what did he do for this country? George Washington was a Commander in Chief of the colonial forces in the American Revolution. Many soldiers gave up but George was determined to free America and fought on. After they had won the war against the British George washington was elected to be the first president of the United States of America. Washington served his country with honor, pride, and dignity. John Adams was known to be the next president. If I had to pick a favorite founding father it would be George Washington without a doubt. I’m sure most everybody would choose the same but he is like a role model to me like he is for the rest of the presidents. If I could talk to George Washington I would tell him that I want to be just like him, a leader who never gives up and always fights for what he loves and what is right.

I know I didn’t have much to say to the rest of the founding fathers so I’m going to say something as if I was truly talking to them. I would say thank you for all the love and support you put into our country and it is a true honor to meet my heroes. I’m not sure if the United States today is the United States you dreamed of but if it wasn’t for you we wouldn’t have such a great country. Free, safe, and well taken care of because of you. Thank you for everything.

Cause and Effect

Author's Note: This is The Hunger Games transformed in my cause and effect piece.

In the Hunger games at the end of the book Katniss a girl who volunteered to be a tribute for her sister pulled out some death berries when the gamemakers changed the rule for if there could be two victors. Katniss wanted to show them that they didn’t own them so when she pulled out the berries the government took it as an insult. After she did this Katniss was forced to love Peeta and be with him for the rest of their lives. The story would be a lot different if Katniss didn’t pull out those berries and took out Peeta and she could be free for the rest of her life or she could have let either the gamemakers kill her or Peeta but most likely not Peeta because he loves her.

Conflict and Resolution: The Hunger Games

Authors Note: For Conflict and Resolution I choose to do The Hunger Games and the conflict is that Peeta is in love with Katniss but Katniss doesn't love him back and how they resolved it is very complicated.


A story that I read last year was the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. A girl named Katniss Everdeen volunteered to be a tribute when her sister’s name was called. A boy named Peeta Mellark who has had a crush on Katniss forever got called to be the male tribute and will have to face death with her further on in the book. The biggest conflict is that during the games Peeta is forced to try to find and possibly kill Katniss while he is still madly in love with her. She then plays a game where she pretends to be in love with her but Peeta doesn’t know it. Katniss also feels some feelings for her friend Gale back in her district.



This conflict is resolved by their mentor Hamish who helps change the rule that only one victor can be crowned and changed it so that two victors can be crowned if they originate from the same district. Katniss then tries to find Peeta and when she does she starts to play a game where she pretends to be in love with him back so that they can get sponsors to help them survive. In the end he finds out that Katniss really doesn’t like him back and is a little upset with it but it still kills him inside. Really this conflict isn’t resolved in the end of this book but it is in the end of the series.

Woodside Ranch

Author’s Note: This piece will definitely be one of my favorite pieces. For those of you who loves horseback riding or camping, we are very much alike because I am going to write about my favorite almost considered a camping trip ever. Mostly my favorite events that I can remember.

All I can say is that it was like being given a million dollars when my mom told me she is going to take me to a place called Woodside Ranch. She told me that there is going to be all kinds of activities like archery, fishing, canoeing, and most importantly horseback riding! Anyway, Woodside Ranch is right next to Wisconsin Dells and is an awesome place for a little vacation.

Now I can’t wait but to write about horseback riding so I’m going to explain a little about my favorite part. The first thing is that they put you in a training area to see if you can ride a horse which was awesome because they said I was very good. One morning we had to take our horses out to breakfast which was awesome. One time when we where horseback riding my mom’s horse got spooked and almost made her fall of and that was hilarious. The best thing was that we got to ditch a lot of activities to go

During the weekend we where there we got to do a ton of awesome activities like archery, fishing, and canoeing. Fishing was one of the activities that I ditched. Archery wasn’t as exciting as canoeing because this one guy who was in a kayak and flipped over 3 times and my mom and I where racing against another little girl and her mom and we beat them so easily the little girl was screaming at her mom saying she is so slow and lazy. All I can say is that I will never forget this awesome vacation and I can’t wait to go again.
