Boston Marathon Bombing After reading the excerpts from the article, “Boston Bombing Overview: The Unfolding Of A 5-Day Manhunt for Suspects” by J.M.

The ‘Boston massacre’ was more of a tragedy or self defence by the British soldiers in a way that the colonist brought murder to their own people. Although we know this event for a bloodbath caused by british soldiers, there is enough evidence to prove it was not their wrong. If the colonist were not throwing snowballs or insulting the soldiers we would not have this date as a major event in history. As the crowd grew bigger it caused the British soldiers to panic. The red coats were innocent, and would have been at fault in any way they would have handled the situation; either by the court or their captain.…

Although undeservingly idealized, Holden’s struggle to find meaning and happiness in this passage suggests a greater, underlying aspect throughout…
