Why I Love IB Kids

In history we have these blog things we have to answer, like FRQ questions that you give the introductory paragraph to. So the last one this year was compare the French and American Revoultions' similarities and differences. Here were some awesome replies.

DiDi:
The French revolutionaries made beef with Jesus and completely overhauled the calendar in an attempt to get rid of anything Church-related. American colonists decided to keep God on their side.

The French women stormed Versailles and killed two guards in order to demand justice from their king. American women stopped buying foreign hats for a while.

Birney:
1. There were no airplanes in either war
2. People died in both wars
3. Gorillas did not fight in either war
4. However, there was guerilla warfare in both wars
5. Both French and American people are able to bleed and both have weaknesses to bullets
6. Neither were tricked by the trojan horse
7. Both wars were fought on Earth
8. Zimbabwe did not contribute soldiers or supplies in either war

Ian Lausa:
3. the french bled french blood while they snacked merrily on french bagguettes. us americans...didn't.
2. both revolutions consisted of people who were all:
"lets get some freedoms up in this place."
"yeah!"
"and while we're at it, lets get some representation!"
"yeah!"
1. The king of France died when he lost.

Jacob:
the King himself got his royal head brutally chopped off. Ouch!

Kelsey Boyd:
5. The French Flag is red, white, and blue...funny story, SO IS THE AMERICAN ONE!!
