What I think about Thomas Paine's Common Sense

- What did you learn about life during the revolutionary era from reading this document?

That the American colonies hated that the British had control on what they did and how they where running things. I also learned that there where also many different things that took place, in order for the American colonies to break away from the British way of thinking. One thing that took place was the writing of a pamphlet title Common Sense the author was Thomas Paine.

- What surprised you the most about what you read?

What surprised me the most was when he first wrote this pamphlet he didn't put himself as the author. I understand why but it was a well thought out pamphlet it was simple and cut to the point . He wrote what everyone wanted to say he basicly said lets just cut all ties with the British and lets just do this on are on. He said that they already attack us so they made clear that its over so lets end it.
