Having no food, limited supplies, and scarce ammunition, American troops held Breeds Hill, one of the hills that surrounded the city of Boston as long as they could to prevent British forces from occupying the hills.

By the third wave, the British troops took the hill and caused the Rebels to retreat to cambridge.…

One way that Anna Sewell developed the horse is through description.

Here she uses description to describe how horrific the bit really is and how uncomfortable it is to have it stuck in your mouth. Also, in paragraph 3 of the text, the author wrote, “ Next came the saddle, but that was not half so bad; my master put it on my back very gently, while old Daniel held my head; he then made the girths fast under my body patting and talking to me all the time.”…

I’ve realized in my lifetime that saddling a horse that you are going to ride is not as natural of an act to other people as it is to me. Since the moment I had both the strength and height to lift my own tiny saddle up to the back of my animal, I was saddling by myself. These days in the time that I set aside to ride, I don’t even think about the act of saddling, I could almost finish the act blindfolded. In my realization that not all people know how to saddle a horse and if they have an idea it may not be the proper way, I decided to share my knowledge in this area with others.…
