Question

need help plz i was assigned this task

Answer 1

Hmmm, I'm not gonna do this for you, and I'm not so good with old-fashioned English, but I can start you off. Actually, you're a little vague? I mean does it have to be written vaguely as it is from a spy, or written formally? I mean, is it being passed through enemy territory, or is it written upon the spie's return.

Anyway, here is an example:

To the esteemed Commander Redgrave,

The revolutionaries make their way South, towards the XXXX region. As they make their route, they pass through several townships and villages from which they improve their strength by recruitment from the suitably aged men of thes settlements, men of arms-bearing ability ranging from the age of fifteen to their early forties. I fear that should their ranks continue to grow at their current rate, ...

OK, so this isn't based on any actual events as I don't know that much about the American War of Independance. But I tried, alright????

Maybe get to the library and try reading some actual letters sent from army men of the time (not necessarily spies). Just get an idea of the language and style, etc.

Answer 2

If it was like a diary entry or a letter to a friend who is a fellow spy I would write about: How you feel being a spy, what you are seeing, how dangerous it is, your thoughts/fears, what is going on around you i.e. in 1700's, how you are hiding it from those around you i.e. friends etc and how you are getting into key groups....?

I'd do a search on the net for the key events in 1700's over a couple of months and date it around this time and refer your actions to this and make small references to it. For example in the 1700's I know that yellow fever was a big killer as there was no cure so try saying how your next door neighbour is suffering etc and/or that you feel ill etc.

Answer 3

The 18th Century marked the beginning of the industrial revolution. Britain was a leader in Industry and military power
Corporate or business secrets paid well in all historical times.
It depends on if your were spying for Britain or selling British secrets.

Another topic would be the The events leading to the American revolution. Spying on the colonialists for Britain. I've added links on the Industrial Revolution, a Time line of US history of The 18th century., and a link on the American Revolution.
Use your imagination and good luck.

Answer 4

Talk about the American colonies. The British were a colonial super-power, but the American colonies began to cause them trouble at the end of the 1700's. Talk about the rising sentiment of the Americans that want to separate from England. You can find more information on the thoughts of this time period and the American revolution here:

Answer 5

You undoubtedly were asked what you would write, not what somebody else would write. One does not grow and develop personally by using the ideas of others. Synthesize (put together) what you have learned about the events and cultural climate of that period in American history. Then put yourself in the place of an objective observer and look into your own mind to figure it out.

Answer 6

Depending on the year, I would probably try to write something to the people in the Independence movement. Not someone as important as George Washington, but someone of lesser rank. I would pledge my undying loyalty to the colonist cause and try to infiltrate them. Good Luck.
