Bellringer “WHILE I relate my story, Americans give ear; Of Britain's fading glory You presently shall hear; I'll give a true relation, Attend to what I say Concerning the taxation Of North America. “ “The cruel lords of Britain, Who glory in their shame, The project they have hit on They joyfully proclaim; 'Tis what they're striving after Our right to take away, And rob us of our charter In North America.” Much like today, writing is used to share ideas, to persuade, and to inspire. Read the expert from the poem “American Taxation” by Peter St. John. How do you thinks Americans back then, felt after reading this poem? Write your response in your journal.
