“PCHOOOOO,” the guns shot,”BPHOOOO”
I was getting tired of the sound of gun shots. My ears felt like they were going to bleed. I was at a shooting range, getting ready for the war. People were recruiting soldiers to go to the war. There were supposed to be one man from each household to go to the war. Luckily, we had open area to build ranges, or else I wouldn’t even know how to load a gun! I wasn’t alone practicing my shooting. My friends came to the practice two. For fun, we dress up hay bags full dirt. Then we dressed them in red coats. We all were here because our fathers were too old for the war. My father, James II, moved our family here to lexington in massachusett 17 years ago. In the time here, we met very many friends.

THE BRITISH ARE COMING! BY SEA! BY SEA!” I rushed out of my room. I saw my parents and my sister coming towards my room. I was thankful that they heard the warning. “Son, we are evacuating Lexington.” My mom
