I was just heading into music ( I was late ) and there was this game on the screen. I glimpsed at my chair and then kept staring at the screen. I was about to sit down when I didn't feel myself sitting in a chair. I was a few inches away from the ground and I thought to myself. " Oh no, this is going to hurt a little bit." Then bam! I was on the floor, confused and laughing . I knew that two things could have happened. I did not aim my sitting down correctly, or somebody had pushed the chair back so that I would plop on the ground. Soon enough, about a quarter of the class was laughing with me and asking if I was okay. I said I was fine and inferring that if somebody moved my chair back that it was Alex. He sits right next to me and he could probably be as fast as a ninja.Then I got up, pushed the chair back to where it was and successfully sat down in the chair. Then we started some weird breath in, breath out game to calm you down and in the middle of it Alex whispered to me that he pushed my chair back.

Summary:  Today for History Alive we did a tug of war based on the Revolutionary War. The three teams were red, white, and blue. At the beginning Mr. Solarz said that blue will be versing red. Suddenly he only let a couple kids on my team (red) start. I then suddenly realized that we were the British and the blue team was the Continental army. He then said that the white team has to cheer for the blue team ( the Continental army ) and later on they will join the blue team in the tug - of - war match. I then inferred that the white team was the French because later on in the war, the French helped the Continental Army . The reason they were cheering is because the Continental army was at home during the war, and they didn't have to travel as far as us to get supplies. That's why half our team was sitting on the stage. I then also realized that the red team had all the tall kids " to represent the very strong soldiers from Britain. On the other hand, during the Revolutionary War the Continental army was very weak to start off, and the blue team had all of the short people in our class. The white team was in between the tallest and the shortest. At the end of the tug - of - war match, blue ended up winning ( because they are the Continental Army ) and red lost.   :(
