America

Authors Note: The life of Benjamin Martin is one like Adam Cooper, loss. This describes the good parts of life, and the bad parts of life that Adam Cooper from April Morning, and Benjamin Martin from The Patriot.

Benjamin Martin and Adam Cooper are a lot alike-by being so different. Benjamin Martin was a General-and helped win the French-Indian war. Adam Cooper was a 15 year old boy living in Lexington. When they both are faced with all of the taxes and the King in England-they both have to put up a fight for their lives, and experience losses.

Adam Cooper’s Family wasn’t very rich-and he wasn’t very rich. Benjamin Martin on the other hand- had good land, and a good house. With Adam-he was always fighting with his whole family, except Granny Cooper. Benjamin martin had good family-so they were both very different and both had troubles along the way, like with Benjamin almost dying- and his two sons out of seven dying.

The way that they’re so much alike, is because they both have to fight the British in two epic battles, in which one wins-and one loses. The battle with Adam. The battle took in Lexington and about 70 people of the town met the British to have a peace treaty. A shot is fired-lighting a spark, like the spark igniting Benjamin’s will to fight against the British after they kill his sons. Ad father, Jonas, Sam, and others are killed.

In my opinion, Benjamin Martin represented America itself during that battle. We are strong-and so was he, we are brave and smart-so was he. This describes how America is, and will thrive, because we have a plan.
