  my story idea is to make my charecter one of the teenagers that is an instigator and starts the fighting. I want my charecter to be one of the teenagers that yells at the British soldiers and is telling the story from his point of view. I am also making my charecter a butcher in town who makes a substantial amount of money. he has a wife named Marie Parker and two young boys names Austin and Peter Parker. My charecter will fight in the massacre and be one of the key people. Finally my charecter will be one of the five men who dies. He will become a hero as well. Then a narrator will end the story with how the massacre ends, who wins and the outcome of it all.

  I would like any feedback!!!

  My story is about a boy named Larry Bird who works in a pub clearing the tables. One day he hears General Gage talking to another general about having his troops march to Lexington and Concord to take the Colonists guns and ammo to prevent the colonist from fighting. My character tells Warren what he heard. Warren tries to tell the generals stationed in Lex. and Conc. but Gage found out that someone had overheard him and dosnt come when he had planned but later the next night. The colonists dont know if they are coming by land or by sea so Paul Revere came up with the idea that in the Old North Church they would put one latern in the tower if they were coming by land and two if by sea. When he seas that there are two lanterns in the steeple he rides across the bay and rides to Lex. and Conc. yelling “The Regulars are coming” the whole way.

  thats about all i have right now…i need a couple more ideas so please respond…thanks

  Good ideas Gabby!!! You might want to say why the teenagers were yelling at the soilders and how it lead to the soilders shooting at them.

  Gabby-I don’t know if you were already planning on doing this but you may want to write about what event or tax etc. cased the tension between the two sides. Other then that it is really good.
