I was very happy about my topic and book I chose for this project. The reason is because the revolution fascinates me and being able to understand what the founding fathers went through was a great was to get a new perspective for me. I found the part about the Boston tea party to be the most intriguing because I knew about how they dressed and the main points but I really didn’t know about Francis Rotch or his purpose in the story and I gave me a new perspective on what happened leading up to the Boston tea party and why they were so angry. I feel that I learned more about how our Constitution was written, the Bill of rights and the amendments and the struggles the men who wrote them went through while they were writing this away from their families. I also learned how to use a blogging website. I liked the book and learned that sometimes what we hear when we are young (like 8^th grade and 11^th grade American history) isn’t always the entire story or maybe I didn’t always listen but now I know a lot more about it then I did before. The most enjoyable part of the project for me would have been being able to connect what was in the book with an old television show I used to watch on PBS kids named Liberty’s kids (even though it was animated and probably not always correct with details). The reason being that it was more enjoyable since I am more of a visual learner and I have to have thing visually explained to me in able to understand them better. The most difficult part of the project honestly had to read that huge book because before the only big books I have ever read were twilight, but it was very good and as I nick named it the “spark notes to all the American History text books”.
