CURRENT EVENT
A current event going on is a 70 year old woman dieing because of the firemen’s inconsiderate thoughts. The senior citizen had placed the call in to the fire department already and firemen showed up but they didn’t get out the car to check the scene. Several hours later neighbors called reporting the fire that the firemen thought was invincible. They found the senior citizen dead, burned to death. I feel that the firemen were really inconsiderate and clueless. The only thing I want to know is why they didn’t get out and check the place..?
THE PATRIOT ESSAY QUESTION

The traditional tactics of the battle were ineffective against the British because the tactics weren’t beneficial. All the Colonial army did was came together and stood in a straight line allowing the British to take all of the army down at once. Once Benjamin Martin joined the colonial army those ineffective tactics changed to effective tactics because of his skills. He had techniques that lead them to victory without looking back. Those techniques were carefully thought out and planned based on the British reactions to the previous battles of from prior knowledge. Tactics similar to Martin’s became the way of the Colonial army because they were successful with the British. Why not use those same skillful tactics and result in victory.?
