He dares them to run into Boo’s back yard and mess around in it. They even try to write a letter to Boo Radley to try to get him to come out.

The Greeks heard that the Persians were coming for them and tried to get help from the Spartans, a people known for their aggressive fighting. They sent Philippides to ask for help but received no help, for Spartans were celebrating the festival of Carneia, a time of peace, but they did receive a thousand men from Plataea (a small city, located in Greece) to add to their troops, because the Athenians had fought for them before, thus they had a debt to pay to them.
When Napoléon was 35 years old, the Senate declared him emperor of France. The weird thing was that his father was an anti-French lawyer. In school, Napoléon was very focused on his studies, which was part of the fact why he was chosen to be emperor. From being studious, he thought of more intricate and complex battle strategies and he could read the battlefield like an open book. Napoléon’s reform was called the Napoleonic Code. The Napoleonic Code was one of the few documents that have influenced the whole world, according to historian Robert Holtman. This code forbade special privileges given to one, based on who you were born to, and the code embraced freedom of religion and made it possible for the more qualified to land a better job, not just because they were blood-related. This code also replaced feudal law, which had allowed lords to protect the people that worked on the land, who basically had to work for free. This code was spread throughout Europe, making a great impact on civil laws. Napoléon led his country to many victories around Europe for nine years as emperor.

I, Prince Estabrook, tried my best to hide all sense of fatigue. I, with my fellow militiamen, listened to Captain John Parker and his orders. Captain Parker was a local farmer turned commander, from Lexington, and had been appointed the leader of our militia. I was an emancipated slave from Ashby, Massachusetts, a town 40 miles away from Lexington. I had traveled down to Lexington a few months ago so I could become a Minuteman and fight for America’s freedom.
