The following story was created by students in Mrs. Driskill's sixth grade class at Deer Park ES. It is a made-up story of Paul Revere and intended to make one think- what if Paul Revere had never warned the colonists of the British invasion?
In Lexington, Paul Revere and William Dawes didn't make it to all the towns to warn the people about the British. They didn't make it because the British arrested them before they got to all the people. Paul and William were sentenced to be executed the next morning. However, they escaped when it was dark by stealing Brown Beauty and White Mystic, the two oldest British horses, and rode off into the night to complete their mission.
After Paul and William escaped, the British found out they were gone, so they went out after them. The British didn't catch up with them until 10:00 P.M. Paul and William only had seven more towns to go out of the 30 towns they needed to visit. The bad thing was the British officers were getting closer. They met up at a river. Once the British Officers saw Paul and William cross the river, they shot William Dawes in the head. They met up with Paul when he only had three towns to go. The British horses were too fast and not as tired as Brown Beauty.
At his second to last town, Paul's horse was shot, so Paul had to run on foot. Twenty minutes later, Paul was shot in the back. Because of this, the colonies were not prepared for the war, and the British took over. Since then, a few men have tried to rebel against the British rule, but all attempts have failed. We still have yet to form our own nation. Until that day, we will remain under the terrible British tyranny.
