THE GLORIOUS CAUSE

“Why can’t I think of anything?” Chuck yelled as he threw his notebook to the ground furiously with a thump. It all started when Chuck had to complete a history report on the American Revolution. He had been working on it for three days straight and all he had done was the opening sentence. He had to work fast because it was due tomorrow. Chuck had to write an essay about what the Revolutionary War was, what happen, how it influenced him and if he got to fight in the war, what side would he fight for and why. Chuck was so frustrated with his writer’s block that he decided to go use the bathroom. The second Chuck opened his eyes in the bathroom he was transported to 1781. Chuck looked around and he did not realize where he was. He noticed that he had been wearing white stockings, a blue petticoat, and a cap. “Where am I?” Chuck said with a confused look on his face. “Why, you are in Williamsburg, Virginia.” A man proclaimed as he walked up to Chuck. “Did you hear how bad we beat those red coats at Charleston yesterday?” the man told Chuck. “Red coats? Isn’t that what they called the British during the Revolutionary War? Chuck asked the man still confused. “Revolutionary War? What’s that?” “That’s the war during 1776.” Chuck told the man. “Is that what they are calling the war?” the man exclaimed. The man started to walk away when all of a sudden; he was shot four times with a gun and then stabbed with a spear on the end of a British gun. Then he heard a bunch of firecrackers and gunshots and saw the soldier that shot the man. The soldier started to come up to chuck with his gun as if he was about to slaughter him. Chuck ran as fast as he could to try to get away from him, but he kept getting closer. As soon as Chuck turned the corner, he looked back to see that all of a sudden the soldier got smacked in the back of his head with an empty glass beer bottle by a drunk man. “Take that you stupid brit! The man exclaimed as he peered over the fallen soldier. “What is happening over here?” Chuck asked the man. “Why, these no good brits are tryin to take advantage of us in the war by killing everyone in sight. Like a great man once said, give me Liberty or give me death!” the man proclaimed as he raised his fist up in the air. “Everything seems so… real.” “It is real boy, and if you don’t get your patriotic behind on that battlefield than the blood on the outside is going to be real.” The man told Chuck as he handed Chuck a riffle. Chuck knew what he had to doing order to get back home. He had to win the war. It was the battle of Yorktown. Chuck had remembered learning about it and how it was the last battle in the war before the British surrendered and now Chuck had to repeat history. It was a long and bloody war but Chuck was still alive and fighting. He was killing people left and right and he felt on top of the world. When all of a sudden, “Click, Click, Click.” Chuck’s gun was out of ammunition .He raced to get off the field but it felt like forever. He had to get somewhere to find ammunition or at least take cover. “Hold your fire men, they’re waving the white flag.” It was all over. “Yeeeehaaaa. We won.” Men shouted as they threw their caps in the air with rejoice. Chuck stopped running and started heading back to the front where people were celebrating. When he got to the front, there were great American figures in front of him. The one man that Chuck had really recognized was None other than George Washington. After George Washington was finished saying his speech, Chuck went to talk to him in person. “Excuse me, Mr. Washington. “Yes?” “What made you decide to fight in this war?” “Well son, a great man once told me, if you just believe in yourself, you could make anything come true. “Ohh.” In a blink of an eye, Chuck was transported back home but some how he ended up on the cold, wet floor of his bathroom. Some how Chuck must have fell asleep in the bathroom because it was all a dream. He walked back in to his living room and remembered what George Washington had to him and used it to finish his report. At the end of his report Chuck said, “ Like a great man once told me, if you just believe in yourself, you can make anything come true. With that report, Chuck was able to get the highest grade in the class, an A+.
