John Hancock was a very sophisticated person. He helped save our country. He and many others drove the British out of the 13 colonies. He did this by boycotting the British goods, fooling the British and then attacking them a few times. That drove them out of America. It wasn’t that easy though, it sounds like it was but surely it wasn’t. He was one of the people who signed the declaration of independence on July 4th, 1776.

John Hancock and I are similar. We both are confident. We fight our way to make peace no matter what. We will also fight for what we believe is right. I don’t mean physically fighting I’m talking about verbally fighting. Him and I will argue to the last point till we win over what we have been fighting for. It’s a common personality to have. He and Ben Franklin and others fought to make this land home of the free. He did what was best for this new country at the time.

One difference John Hancock and I have is that he was into politics and I’m into marine biology. He was interested in politics when he met Samuel Adams. I became interested in marine biology since I was a little kid. He however wanted to change some of the things in the 13 colonies back when he was alive. Today I want to study marine biology; I might want to even become a wildlife biologist someday. It’s what we don’t have in common. He was a politician and I want to become a Marine Biologist someday. John Hancock and I have another thing in common. We both know what’s right and what’s not. We can identify what is right and what is wrong. When the British started to increase the taxing of daily goods the colonists needed, John Hancock and others like Samuel Adams knew something needed to be done immediately. The colonist’s could barley afford the taxes for stuff like bread. So the colonists rebelled against the British. When someone does something not so nice to someone else I will step in and say something to that person. John Hancock did the same exact thing.

John Hancock changed history. He did it by standing up and being a leader. Him and I have similarities and differences. He and I are both confident. Him and I both know right from wrong. And he and I have a few differences. One of them is that He was into politics when he was alive and I am into Marine Biology. He was one of the most inspiring people in history.
