Characters- Some characters in the book were… George Washington, Ben Franklin, Edmund Randolph, John Francis Mercer, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Adams and William Paterson. Have you ever heard of the book called “Shhh! We’re Writing The Constitution! Or have you ever known when it was written. Well, “Shh! We’re Writing The Constitution is about the making of the constitution and what they did to make us a country.

Beginning- The war ended and the British came to America. 1774 was when the Continental Congress met in Philadelphia and the common concern was Great Britain. 1786 was when it became obvious that changes were needed. George Washington called. Washington suggested that all of the delegates should come. Finally enough delegates came to the convention. Edmund Randolph finished and presented his plan to everybody. Some delegates didn’t like it but gave in.

Middle- There were many arguments and many speeches and many plans but all failed. Some people were afraid of what might happen to the convention. Besides the convention all kinds of fears surfaced because the smaller states were afraid of the bigger states because of the bigger states population. But back at the convention the delegates actually still thought of if George Washington should be president for a short time or a long time or even for life. Alexander Hamilton was one of the people who thought that he should be president for life. But James Madison disagreed. They both made so many arguments and they were so serious that the others were all scared.

End- They all made the ten commandments or the bill of rights. The convention was over and the constitution was sent out to be made. Then they got it back to be signed. But only half of them signed it. The constitution was done and everything happened accordingly as planed. Now, since you read a summery/smaller story of the book and what not… I am going to tell you my connections. In the story when Mr. Randolph presented his plan, they all disagreed with him and that’s what happened with me. One day, at recess, my team (we are playing soccer) told me to come up with a really great plan, so I told them my plan, and like the story, they disagreed with me. My next connection is when in the story just 2 delegates were arguing, then everybody was in that same argument. So in my connection me and my sister were arguing over who gets the TV and surely my whole family joined and even my baby brother. This is my last connection and in the story Ben Franklin had stomach ach sort of thing it was me who also had a stomach ach. Those are my connections.

I have done a read-aloud part and hear it is… on pages 14/15, the first line of passage was In the Virginia Plan, Randolph explained. There would be three branches of government. And why I chose this passage is because it interested me and made me think. I think it perfectly relates to the book because if the book didn’t have it I think I wouldn’t get the book. Also it was a well written part. that’s what I have to say.
