Clouds   by Sabine

A soft white cotton ball
A fair layer of snow
A big piece of cauliflower
A gooey marshmallow

A can of delightful white grape juice
A refreshing glass of milk
A sheet of perfect paper
A fluffy piece of silk

A beautiful box of tissues
A mouth-full of whip cream
A lovely wedding dress
A vanilla- chocolate supreme

Or maybe, just maybe
could it be a cloud
Travelling Paris, drifting around
I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong
because I'm the one to know

Abused. This is the word to describe what the Egyptian government leader, Hosni Mubarak, has done with his power in 2011. Not only did this happen in 2011, but also way back when King George III did the same to the early settlements. Similarities between the Declaration of independence and the 2011 Egyptian Revolution?

Imagine living in a land where the majority of citizens wanted to go to war against their governments. The Eastern colonies in United States of America in the1700’s have done that, and very recently and the same for Egypt. To start, both wanted independence. Citizens hated how they had to live under the government’s laws. Additionally, many years back, not all had the right to vote. Both United States of America and Egypt were rebelling against their leader and they both demanded freedom, liberty and justice.

Hosni Mubarak ruined the government in the same way that

King George Ill did back in the 1700’s, by abusing his power
One thing this caused was poverty. Hundreds of people lost their homes, money and happiness. Lastly, there was an abundance of job losses, which lead to poverty. The problem was the high taxes, as represented in the 1700’s.

The United States of America’s government contained way too many laws, all of which were extremely unreasonable and ambiguous. For Example, loyalists could vote for government things, like voting for a king or for which farmer should supply the blessed king’s food. Finally, widows had to marry only after 7 years of their husband’s death. Similarity in Egypt, only loyalists could vote.

From poverty and job loss, to extremely unreasonable and ambiguous laws, it is understood why colonies wanted to go to war against their rulers and governments. All in all, the citizens in the thirteen colonies and Egypt never gave up and earned their freedom, liberty and justice.
