UNITY IN DIVERSITY

In the early 18 hundreds, in the U.S. there was a family who lived in happiness. They were neither poor nor very rich, they were middle class people.
In the family there were 5 people, the grandmother (Linda,) the grandfather (Charlie,) the father (Tom,) the mother (Liz,) and the child (Nick.)
All the members of the family were form different cultures. In spite of their differences they lived together happily and peacefully. Tom worked in a factory. Nick went to one of the best public schools in the town. The town’s name was Alstan. The family lived in a condo. The condo had 3 bedrooms; one for the grandparents, one for the parents and one for Nick. That time the Revolution war between the United States and England was going on. Those times were tough times for the new and week American community. The British forces sent a lot of soldiers right to war immediately after their training. The U.S. also started to form an army. Of the 12 states, The British took over some of them. The places that British took over had very poor living conditions. The British used to just come in the town and start living there.
Sending secret messages to the General of the U.S. army would be hard because the British soldiers used to patrol almost all the roads. Even for the normal people life with the British soldiers was hard. If somebody wanted to buy a loaf of bread they had to pass the soldiers who used to torture the people.

In the family the grandfather was African and the soldiers used to take the African as slaves to work for them. The family went through a lot of struggle to save the grandfather from being taken slave. They could not even go out of the house on the war days. In due course of time, the British soldiers came in their house and started living there. With those solders living in the house, the family could not even talk about freedom from them. If they did the soldiers would kill them. They had to go through all this trouble for a long time.
This family survived the terror of the war by supporting each other. They had faith that the British forces would lose one day and we will achieve freedom. After the war they lived happily ever after.

And that is the end of it.
