Persuasive Proposal Letter: Golden Line

Directions:

1) Look through your Persuasive Proposal letter to the colonists.

2) Choose the line that you like the most.

3) Write the line you like the most and why you chose it on your blog comment.

(Example: "Be independent or a slave to the British Monarchy"--I chose this line because I used strong language. This line will force people to think about their lives as colonists.)

I know if we run for governor we can over rule the British soldiers. The reason why i like this line the most because it already engages the readers attention to know what I'm talking about.

"I suggest we rebel against the British monarchy. We should repeal every law that isn’t fair."I chose this statement because I used a lot of strong language. I also used this because I used the spelling vocabulary words. I think that the strong use of language really helped the colonist know that this is a really big situation and that we don't want to have these problems anymore

"picture it! picture yourself not having control over your life" i chose this line because its true, the colonist did have control over there lives and what they did, so for people that read it, see a short way to explain how the colonies lives where like back in the colonial era. just by reading that short line you all ready know the colonies lives where bad because it was all controlled for them.

" The soliers that fired won't open their mouth and tell what happened"-- I chose this line because it explains how the soldiers are cowards and can take responsibility for everything and anything but the truth. This line will show people that British aren't as brave and powerful as they act or even want to be.

Rebel against the British and you can run your government, tax yourself and extricate yourself from the British monarchy.
I chose this statement because it explains what will happen if you rebel against the British. When you do you will be free. It explains a lot in one compact sentence. All you need to do is help yourself to help each other.

"You should have liberty and be independent there should be freedom of speech in your government" I choose this line because I like the way I wrote it I used strong words that could convince people to go along with I said I think that people would agree with me in many ways with this line.

Now I offer you something else, a chance to extricate ourselves from the British monarchy, and rebel and form your own destiny.--This is the line I chose, I chose this line for a specific reason. Why? this line just shows what my whole essay will be about in one sentence. Another reason I chose this line is because I use strong words and this one like gets people going and off their feet.

"Fight for freedom or live under the tyranny of the British."
I chose this line because, it is engaging. It is telling the readers what the essay is going to be about. Also, because it is saying make your own decision without being punish by the British. This is why i chose this line as the one i like the most.

The line that i chose is "There is a problem that i just can't seem to get from out of my head. The problem is the British have to much power over the government and us". Why i chose this line was because i thought that it was powerful and i also thought that if i said it in person then that would be like i am really going against the government for real.

1)We are hundreds of miles from them and britain doesn't represent us so why are we scared let's stand up and fight- I choose this passage because it is a strong sentence. It will give the people a thought on why they are scared and how their is no reason to be scared.


2)This could be are demise or rise- I also choose this one because it feels strong it is a the sentence that could tell you what will really happen.

"Don't let the British shackles hold you down!" I chose this line because it hooks you into my story. It lets you know that the story will be powerful. Giving your brain something to think about and keeps you guessing. This line gives you a sense about colonial life and how the British controlled colonists. This line stands out to me because it's bold and grabs the reader's attention.

The best sentence in my letter was when I said, "We can defeat the British, they have guns but we have belief."--- Because it is true, if you believe you can succeed or win. In this case if they had belief they can beat them.

My line is,"Are you tired of getting pushed around by the British monarchy
and i picked this line because in the pasted the colonists always got pushed around by the british

The british abused their power and that's why they don't need it.The reason why I like this line is because it's telling the colonist that the british shouldn't be able to run the government if you are not going to be fair to everyone.

"If we colonist don't do anything about what's happening to us, British are going to take over permanently!"

I like this line the most, because it gets the colonist angry and it's powerful.

British troops let us be free! Please stop the killing. We need our lives for better things. The reason why I choose this sentence or line is because I thought that it states what the topic was about and that too many colonists were shoot and killed.

when British solders needed a place to stay we were kicked out of our homes. I chose this line because back in the day British were tyrants.

Come and join our revolution so we can make an even bigger revolution that can beat the British once and for all!...I chose this line because it explains to the colonist that we really do need them. It explains that we are stronger and can beat the British with no troubles if we stand together!

They aren't protecting us they are destroying us. I chose this line because the British was suppose to be protecting the colonist from intruders. Now they are taking over and the colonist are mad.

My favorite line from my letter to the colonist would be my last sentence which is: It's about time we speak our mines and let them know what we really think of them!

That is my favorite line because it's leading the colonist to know thew may actually have a chance of changing the way they life, if they just speak out and let others know how they really feel about the situation. It allows them to stop and think about what type of live they want to live.

If you don’t rebel with me maybe just maybe another mother may lose her child.

The reason why this line is my favorite because it convinces the colonists to rebel. It also is my favorite line because it has the reader stop and actually think that if they don't rebel the British can go out there and keep doing the same thing to other people. The effects of this problem causes many families pain.

The part I like the most my latter, was the opening. The part I like the most about it, was when I said we left England, so we can have more freedom, but with time hear it's feels like we never left.

My writing piece was based on the American revolution, when the colonists rebel against the soldiers.

My favorite line is "taxation without representation",because i don't think the British should raise the price of paper goods without having a meeting about it.
