4. "Protesting against tyrants is like listening to God."
5.Dear Tyrant,
I really do not find it fair in how you are using your power towards the people. If you want to be a Tyrant then maybe you should use your power with purpose instead of desire. As a person living under your rules, I would like to tell you that life is not easy in the way you expect it to be. Maybe you could change your rules and use your power differently in a way that is suitable for living. Many people have began to protest against you, I don't know if you have noticed but maybe that could give you a hint in how to change.
Sincerely, Halle Chiarelli

5. Tony it's wrong to steal someones power! I don't think you should try to steal Prince Georges power. Tony looked at Kent like he was crazy. Tony had been one of Kent's good friends for a long time. Tony always talked about becoming Prince someday. When George became Prince Tony knew there was no hope left in him becoming Prince. Tony knew the only way to become Prince was by stealing Georges power from him. Tony told Kent about this plan thinking he would agree with him, but when Kent heard Tony say that he was going to steal Georges power, Kent was against it. Tony tried to convince Kent to help him steal Georges power but Kent wouldn't even listen.
When Tony finally illegally seized power from George he used it in all of the wrong ways. Tony used the power to pamper himself and make his own life easier. He put slaves to use in all the wrong ways. He raised the taxes in the town so he would have more money. Kent finally confronted Tony about the problem. Kent said to Tony, if you are going to have the power you have you should use it wisely and put it to good use. You should put an end to slavery and lower taxes. I thought you were going to use your power for good Tony.

ReplyDelete2. A tyrant is known as a ruler who takes power or control against the law. They usually take it by force from the ruler.
3. When Thomas Jefferson said that "rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God", he meant that by standing up to what is wrong and against God's will, we stop the wrong and can turn back to a better way. I think that he meant if a tyrant tries to force you to do something wrong or are unjust, that by taking them from power also helps the victims to the law they made. So, therefore, by stopping those laws that hurt others, that can be considered as doing the will of the Lord.
4. Rebelling from bad rulers can be the right thing to do.
5. Once Upon a Time, there was a ruler who was known as a tyrant, since he stole power from a government that was usually peaceful. that was, before the ruler became king. The ruler made everyone pay unreasonable taxes that, Instead of helping his people, gave the king that he wanted. He made people pay very high prices for things like water or medicine, so barely anyone was able to buy some. The people were now broke, sick and hungry,they were starting to rebel. The king did not do anything.
One day, the people started to boycott the kings goods and buy Imported goods. The king started going broke because of this, so he started to be even meaner to the people. So then a normal everyday person decided to start a rebellion. He gathered as many people as he could and they stopped following the king's laws. The atmosphere was havoc and anger and war filled the air. Then the war stopped. The king decided to surrender. this story may be fictional, but war breaks out often today.

We will have a tyrant that won't say, "you can't do that", or, "don't talk to me again". Our new tyrant will be amazing. He will let us do what we want without saying we can't.

5. It was late September 2000. The leaves were beginning to unattach themselves from the trees. A ruler who everyone thought would be fine was starting to turn against his people. The small town respected, and in fact was very fond of their leader until he did something bad. Tax prices were raised and the anger was heard.
Most of the town people began taking on a different idea of their so called "leader". For how should he be the leader if he's not ruling fairly? The tax prices rose day by day and eventually people had enough. It slowly became late November and people decided to take a stand. A secretive town meeting was held in the funeral home down the street from the very place where unfair taxes are placed. It was a bigger than intended meeting as around 100 came. A plan was devised. Today at the town meeting, Susy was to jump up on stage and start crying about her cat who had been hit by a stamp carrying truck. Then the other pieces would fall into place.
The plan was all set, at the noon meeting Susy began crying. All of the others jumped up on stage and began getting all the people pumped up about taking over the Mayor. Everyone raised there cell phones in the air and attacked the Mayor. He had surrendered and the people had won!

ReplyDelete2. Tyranny is when A person steals power. (I didn't use a dictionary)
3. When Thomas Jefferson said "obedience to God", he meant that they should stand up to Britain, but while listening to your religion. God probably didn't like what was going on and didn't like tyranny. So if they thought that he didn't like it, they obeyed him.
4. Fighting a person who steals power is doing the right thing.
5. Once there was an amazing ruler named John, who was loved by everyone. He made the land he owned fair and nice. He made his country perfect. Well... almost perfect. The only problem was his nephew, Kyle, who hated how everyone loved him and he envied him.
One day, Kyle caught the King by surprise! He took him to the dungeon and locked him away! He became the tyrant. He changed all the laws, and rules. He took the power and took the king's country to ruin.
Then, A group of brave townspeople secretly met up and came with a plan to tear "King" Kyle off the throne. They decided to gather more people, break into the castle and take Kyle down. Then they would find the King and save him.
After gathering over 300 townspeople, the group went to the King's castle. they broke through the door and fought with the guards. A few people slipped away to get the Kyle. Kyle wasn't ready to give up without a fight. After 20 minutes of fighting, James, a towns person, pushed him out of the window and he was defeated.
The town was put back together and the country lived happily.

So one day the people started to boycott the king from taxing and later made the king very poor which he didn't like and decided to hold off on the non important taxes to the people. Later the king decided to put some taxes on other stuff like owning farm animals or paper. Once again the people boycotted these taxes. The king was being a tyrant from abusing his power to get rich off of taxes and making the people poor. That kind of king is called a tyrant and is going against god. Those kind of people do not deserve and special good or power.

3. By saying "obedience to god", he means that Tyrants are sinful and wrong, and through their forceful and unreasonable way, they are against god. Therefore, Thomas Jefferson reasoned that we should go against tyrants in order to be in god's favor. Also, it's best for the people if there are no people in charge that are against the people's will. In other words, opposing those who oppose god will make you his friend. As the saying goes, "He who is enemy with my enemy is my ally."
4. striking back to bad rulers will make you ok with the people.
5. Many years ago, Vietnam decided to split into two state of governments; the south would be a democracy, while the north would be communist. They worked out a treaty and everyone wanting democracy moved south, and everyone who wanted communism moved north. The problem with this was, the communists wanted all the land. So they decided to attack the south to try and get their land. The americans got word of this, and helped protect the democratic people from the communists. Eventually, we worked out another treaty and made a certain war free zone. This is a non-fiction story, but tyranny still tries to outbreak in Vietnam.

I don't think the way your treating people is right. You should be using your power to help us and make us a stronger society. Instead you're only using your power for yourself. You just want to give yourself more power.
Your expectations are very hard for us citizens to meet. I think it would be a lot easier on us as citizens and you as our leader if you would give us rules that we are capable of committing to. Giving us less strict rules will make it easier for us to do the things you ask.
I really hope you consider this.

3. When Thomas Jefferson said that "rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God", he meant that by standing up to what is wrong and against God's will, we stop the wrong and can turn back to a better way. I think that he meant if a tyrant tries to force you to do something wrong or are unjust, that by taking them from power also helps the people/victims that are being hurt by the laws they made. So therefore, by stopping those laws that hurt others, that can be considered as doing the will of the Lord.

One day, the people started to boycott the kings goods and buy Imported goods. The king started going broke because of this, so he started to be even meaner to the people.

He was very cruel to them, and sometimes punished them for no reason at all.
Some of the townspeople were very angry that the king had been allowed to have this much power. They began trying to rally people against the king when His Majesty did something totally unfair, killing someone for the simple reason that they took one piece of the harvest that was supposed to go to the castle. The people started an uproar, and surrounded the castle, threatening that they would tear down the castle, one brick at a time, if he didn't give up his power. The greedy king became very afraid, and was forced to give up his power. The townspeople were content after that, under a fair and kind ruler. The end. :)

Suddenly a party of royal soldiers burst in on their gathering and the fighting started immediately. Several of the farmers were injured but they outnumbered the soldiers and managed to fight them off. The group then moved towards the castle. They were soon joined by another group, this one toting sabers and a large battering ram. Word ha it that the king was deep in sleep when the castle gates were breached. Many of the royal soldiers who had also been outraged by the king's cruel treatment joined the farmers. The next day the king was banned from the kingdom. A democracy was soon established and the people of the land enjoyed many years of happiness and peace.

ReplyDelete2. A "tyrant" is and person that takes control of things and rules the place.
3. What Thomas Jefferson meant by saying "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God" is Stand up for what is wrong. 2 wrongs don't make a right. So you would turn it around and do it in a better way. Like a tyrant will try to force you and do something that's not good and you will get blamed for it. A tyrant will force you to do anything they want because there lazy. You probably don't have a say in what there asking you because they are now the ruler and like in the U.S.A. we do what the government wants us to do and what Obama wants us to do, we might not like it but oh well.
4. "If you ignore the tyrants as much as you can you will make God proud.
5. Once upon a time, there was a bad evil ruler who thought he could be a better ruler. So his name was Adam. He made all the little kids have jobs and work full time like their parents. And had everybody pay really high taxes even if they were poor. The food was really scarce around where he was cause he raised the prices at every store near him. They didn't have enough medicine at the time so a lot of adults and kids died from lack of food and water and shelter.
One boring looking day, the people around where Adam was the citizens started boycott what ever the king brought in for food and goods which wasn't much. The war was pretty hectic around cause everybody wanted food and water.

5. There once was a boy who was forced to work for a very cruel man. He forced this boy to work and care for his farm. The work he was told to do was harsh work, it mad the boy tired and every day he cried and cried. But soon the boy could not take it any longer. Soon the boy planned an escape, he woke very early one morning and ran. He ran and ran and never stopped.

5.
Once upon a time, there was a little town called Flabbergast. This town was ruled by a president. He was very fair and always listened to the people. But soon a very hideous person named Flacar came in and declared Flabbergast his own. The people were very scared of Flacar and no one did anything to stop him from becoming tyrant. So everyone was ruled by Flacar.
But then one noble brave person, named Hamar, decided to do something about it. He told the people of Flabbergast that if they ate food or drank water, then they should rebel. So the town thought well I do those things so maybe I should rebel. So Hamar got a bunch of people in a group ready to rebel. When Flacar asked why there was a big group of people in front of his house, they came into the house and told him what they wanted and what would happen if he didn't listen. They said they would start a war against him if he didn't listen to them. So Flacar decided to listen and the people of Flabbergast told him that they never wanted him to be in their town or be close to it in the next 1,000 years. But it was a good idea to rebel to the tyrant because it got them to a good spot and the town of Flabbergast had a great 1,000 years.

5. Once upon a time there was an evil tyrant. He treated his people very poorly. He didn't care how much money you had he cared about how much he had. One day he decided to raise taxes so he could have what he wanted. Many people ended up loosing their homes and land because they no longer could afford it. They also no longer could afford to by needs such as food, because he kept raising the prices. In the end many people were dying because of the decisions he made. So one late afternoon a father of one of the young girls that died because of him killed the tyrant. In the end every one was happy except for the cruel tyrant who didn't care about any one else but himself.
