Refuting Patrick Henry
I belive that patrick henry, I am against the ideas of patrick henry since, he says we should battle against the british to stop all the injustie, but why fight?, we should find other ways, to solve this problems, war will leave so maany deaths and problems for both sides while negociations would help both, Henry says british are regrouping units in America, but that is not enough proof thath they will start war with us, We should organize and mantain calm do pacific protests against the british andtry to get representation if we organize ourselves we could win a battle, not a battlee fought with with weapons, but a battle fought with our minds, Henry says "give me liberty, or give me death," but i say what y say what liberty, we already have it, yes we have the liberty of taking our own desicions wich at the end is better than death, die if thats what you want but we will have liberty, without war, we will have liberty without death and most importsnt we will have liberty for sure!!!

There was once a famous explorer called Indiana Jones, whoa a secret mission, tha no one could know, he needed to retrieve a treasure of a lost ship said to be in the Galapagos Islands, It was February 7th, 1998, when Indiana arrived to Ecuador, as he traveled to Galapagos wit his crew ina small ship, A storm struck them and threw Indiana into the water, making him fade in the dark of night, Indiana woke up in a wierd village he had never seen. When he fully recoverd he could noticed he was trapped in Bamboo Cage, that he thought would be easy to break, but it was a rare bamboo specie that was nearly undistructible, he could see stranges figure at a distance but, but had no idea what they were because was still confused and nearly blind, later at night he listened to strange noises, just like kid noise but worst, with awful laughs and strange giggling, one more day passed until he was fully recovered, when he woke up, he was terribly surprised by what he saw, there was a group of little red man all around the cage they were doing a ritual, we was so confused and scared , he was being put in a ship made out of the same bamboo as the cage, the strange men took Indiana through a river, but this river had something strange, it was a mud river, when they crossed the river the took him througha forest carrie d by ten little red men, he got to a cave entrance, one in the cave he pushed the cage making the little men fall and forcing the cage to open a hole, he got out the cave and started running as he runned 100 meters or so, a red figure at the distancce threw him a poiined arrow, he immediately fell to the floor, this poison paralized all his bones, he was lifted by the ugly creatures and put to the cage again, he traveled at least a mile deep in the cave, and later got to a never seen temple, but there was something that caught his attention, all the temple was made rock with gems, he could see emeralds, ruby´s, and diamonds all over the wall. but as he admired the tempele a Red furry Creature, came out of it with a golden knife in his hands, Indiana knew they would kill him, but he could do nothing, do to the paralyzing poison, The creature strated talking, ¨My name is Elmo and I am the leader of the mighty red tribe, and you have invaded our island, we have mantained this island clear of invader for more than 700 years¨he said, we will not end up like our Inca brothers we will, not permit people to take our lands, he shouted to Indiana, Who felt paralized no more, when elmo got near to kill Indiana, he started laughing, so Idiana told him¨There is no reason to laugh in your last day of life¨, Elmo was confused, but Indiana had a plan he jumped out through the hole of the cage, all the little man threw arrows against him but he evaded them and shot the red creature with a small gun he had in his boot, he used 7 bullets and had only two remaining, Elmo runned towards him and stabbed him in the stomach, but at the same time Indiana shot elmo in his heart giving him instant death, Since that year no one saw Indiana Jones again, the legend says he commited suicide with his remaining bullet in the Island, others say he escaped and lives, in Ecuador with all the treasure he stoled from Galapagos, But we wil never fin out the truth.
