The King is Dead! Long Live the King!

In a well written posting to your blog, compare your experiences over the course of the last week in King Coyle’s room with those of the colonists prior to the American Revolution. Be sure to use specific events from both the Kingdom of M1 and the 13 Colonies to build a convincing comparison. Make sure you include the words tyranny, injustice, and self-determination in your post.

Well, I think that it was really unfair with all the taxes. For all the normal things that you use in every day life, it is pretty unfair that you had to pay for all of them. Clothes, jewelry, BRACES, etc... King George III did the same thing that King Coyle did. King George III did the Stamp Act, the Townshend Acts and even the Quartering Act for all the soldiers that he kept for his own army without the people (colonists permission). And I guess you could see a little bit of the Stamp Act in M1 because, if you wanted to get one of your assignments, you would have to pay for it and then pay for it to turn it in. When we wanted to turn our journals in, we had to pay for each page that we wanted to turn in and then the rubric.
It was really unfair, but it really did make me see the hardships that the people went through. But, when we were actually doing it, we didn't compare Royal Coyle to King George III.
The people of Mr. Coyle's classes were treated unjustly by having to pay every tax and then taxation without representation, and that's unfair! But people were determined to not pay the taxes. Some people even had 130 dollars in debt! Now that is what I call self-determination. But Mr. Coyle was a tyrant or showed tyranny. He totally took over the people in the classes just like the colonists for his own good. To get money out of the people and to keep his power. But now... the king is dead!!!
