The Nobodies's social studies essay

History class comes, and Josie sits, bored, and stares blindly at the question on the board, ‘What are some similarities between the Declaration of Independence and the recent 2011 Egyptian Revolution?’ She knows the multiple answers she could give her teacher. Though her mind is still swarming with fluttering questions. ‘Why are all these government-related events occurring as if the people in those countries are trying to bring the past into the future?’ ‘Why are societies all around the world repeatedly walking on the same road as they were in the past?’ With a wondering mind, Josie begins her paragraph on the answers to the question.
From objections towards the Government, to both countries being war-zones while fighting for peace, and accomplishing their goal by over throwing the Government, Egypt and the Original Thirteen Colonies have many similarities between themselves. Both Egypt and the Thirteen Colonies objected to the ruling government during their own times.
The president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak ruined the economy by giving a low salary to people with jobs, and tens of thousands of workers demanded to have a higher salary. Where as in America, the British Government had been heavily taxing the people and the people though they were being unreasonable. This caused people to rebel and it began the Revolutions.
Moreover, During the protests in Egypt and the Declaration of Independence in America, both places were war zones.  At the time, America was fighting the most powerful country in the world, Britain. Right now, the rebels in Egypt are fighting the strongest country in the Africa, Egypt (the Government).
Finally, Both Rebel teams accomplished their goal and overthrew their government.  
In their own, different ways, the Americans and the Egyptians both tried to use allies to help them win, the Americans used the French, and Egypt tried to use the Iraqis. They both ended up with help and supplies needed to overthrow the government. They both eventually won the war.
In Egypt, they objected to their own Government because of low salary pays, and in America, to the British Government because of taxation without representation. Both societies were in wars with the most powerful countries in their district. Finally, both countries used allies to overthrow the government and they both accomplished their goal.
Looking back at her work, Josie has to admit that she’s proud, but her mind is still packed with questions about the repetition of events in the past.
