We lined up shortest to tallest and Mr. Solarz put the first 8 people on one team. Then he split up the remaining 16 into 2 groups. He had the "white" team stand on the stage and the "blue" team holding onto the rope. He put half of the first group on the stage and put the other half on the stage then he said "blue team, if you win you don't have to do the blog post" but then he told me that I would still have to do the blog post even if I won but only me. Then he said go and we pulled. He motioned for he rest of the first team to come over and help the first team and for the white team to come to help the blue team. We held them off so we won. Yay. The Red team stood for the British and the British Reinforcements. The Blue team stood for the Patriots and the White team stood for the French. I was a slave and I didn't have motivation because even if I won I would still be a slave which is why I had to do the "Blog Post". The British had to do the blog post anyway and that stood for them not having any motivation.
