Can someone please proofread my essay for 100 points? The prompt is "Were the Founding Fathers justified in rebelling against the British government and declaring independence?"

Essay:
The founding fathers were justified for rebelling against the British government, with the taxes and how the British were handling the colonies, they were better off forming their government and keeping trade open with the motherland.

For example, the stamp act of 1765 where the colonist was taxed to pay for the seven-year war the British fought for. The stamp act was an act that directly taxed the British on paper products like newspapers, almanacs, pamphlets, broadsides, legal documents, dice, and playing cards. The reason for this act was to pay for the seven-year war that the British fought for. Another example is the tea act of 1773. The colonists were forced to only purchase tea from the British East Indian Company, killing off foreign competitors that also traded tea with the colonists. They were also heavily taxed if they purchased from other companies.

Although the British taxed the colonists for a war that only benefitted the colonists. The problem was that the colonists had no say in the matter. "No Taxation Without Representation" was born here. While the taxes were fair, the colonists had no say, and that was the problem.

In conclusion, the founding fathers had the right to rebel against the British Government because the role of a government is defending those natural rights and making it possible for them to be accomplished. The British government failed to do so. Therefore, the people had the right to rebel against this government and form a new one that defends these rights.

The Reefs By Marcella Morris

She clutched her lab work to her side walking briskly towards school. The snow fell in typical New York flurries and the ground was still icy from last night’s freeze. Careful not to slip, she climbed the steps and crossed the campus towards the science building.

“What am I doing?” she murmured. Sophie’s worse habit was talking to herself in public. “I have been warned.”

“You are just a high school kid, Sophie,” they warned. “What makes you think you are capable of solving this crucial environmental issue? Stop wasting your time.” The professors would not give her laboratory time to complete research nor would they share their expertise with her.

But, she could not stop.

After that snorkeling trip she took with her aunt to the coral reefs, she felt that something had shifted inside her. The snorkeling guide made one fact very clear- these colonies of tiny organisms would not last. In fact, we’d be lucky if they lasted 5 more years. She cared about the safety of these coral reefs more than she has cared about anything for a long, long time. She had to do something for the fragile, endangered habitat with its fish, mollusks, worms, crustaceans and many more.

So, she used her money to create a lab at her aunt’s house. She worked tirelessly—endlessly—sleeping only when she had to.

“It’s what mom and dad would have done,” she thought.

Her best friend Sam, would hang out with her everyday—eating pizza, fries, and whatever else he could get his hands on, keeping her company with his humor while Sophie worked on her experiments. And now, she has a biological solution in her hands.

She hesitated at the door to the labs. Nervously, she shifted her lab report from one hand to the other.

“I know that have an innovative approach to solving the coral reef issue and I know I can help,” she said to no one.

The image of being ridiculed by these professors, delayed her entry. She stood outside the door, wanting to run back- wanting to hide- glued to the icy spot.

“Hey, Sophie!” She turned at the unexpected sound of Sam’s voice.

“I’ve been… trying to catch up with you,” he panted- out of breath. “Let’s go in and… show them… what you’ve got.”

Sophie tilted her head, smiled at Sam and opened the door. She walked confidently to the front, laid out her research on the podium and began her presentation. When her presentation ended, it was to the enthusiastic sound of the scientists’ applause.

Pls read passage before answering
The Tower
Malcolm had been a prisoner in the tower for longer than he could remember—so long, in fact, he couldn't even remember why he was there. He never saw his captors or heard them speak. The only contact he had with them was a slot at the bottom of one wall through which a tray of food was slid twice a day. From time to time, Malcolm would bend down, put his mouth near the slot, and call out to someone, anyone. He would have welcomed hearing even mean or cruel words in response to his voice, but there was never a sound. Malcolm had thought about escaping this lonely existence. There was one small window in the room, and Malcolm suspected he could just squeeze through the bars if he wiggled enough. The ground was too far below, though, for him to survive a jump, so in his little prison he stayed. 11From time to time, Malcolm would see mice scampering along the edges of his cell. At first they all looked the same, but over time he could tell them apart and knew there were four in all. He gave each one a name: Stanton, Crispin, Roderick, and Emil. He would talk to them, and often, he felt they would talk back. Malcolm sometimes had long, drawn-out conversations and even heated debates with the mice. “I hear where you're coming from, Emil,” he would say, “but Stanton has also made some very good points.” After a while, the four mice would wake him in the morning, eagerly rubbing their whiskers against his cheek, squeaking with delight when he opened his eyes. Just knowing they liked him brought joy to his otherwise dreary existence. Years passed, and Malcolm's head began balding. His beard, however, grew and grew until it was long enough to drag behind him. One day, as he was thinking of stories he could tell the mice, he remembered the story of Rapunzel and how she had used her hair as a rope. He immediately tied the tip of his beard to one of the window bars. He tucked Stanton, Crispin, Roderick and Emil into his pockets. Because he'd grown so thin, it wasn't hard to squeeze between the bars of the window. “We're off to see the world,” he whispered to the mice and, clinging to his own long whiskers, he began to slowly let himself down to the ground below. In the story, “The Tower,” the mice represent:
A being trapped.
B civilization.
C beauty.
D animals.

Use the introductory paragraph to answer the question.

Did you know that if a car is hit with an entire carton of eggs, the cost of repainting it could be as much as $15,000? Egging cars is a popular, age-old prank, but it should not be taken lightly. If your car was hit with an egg last night during the Halloween festivities, wash it off immediately. And parents, if your children were among these pranksters, please urge them to stop. It is a little-known fact that all three parts of an egg can damage a car: the shells can scratch the paint; the egg yolk is acidic, so it can eat through the clear coat of paint and damage the base coat; and the egg whites turn into a glue-like substance after a while, making them nearly impossible to remove. There are three useful strategies for removing eggs from your car, but they will work only if you clean your car right away.

What is the tone of the paragraph?

A) cautionary and urgent

B) amused and lighthearted

But we are going to strike—and strike hard. . . . Of course, there have been disturbances and inconveniences—and even hardships. And there will be many, many more before we finally win. Yes, 1943 will not be an easy year for us on the home front. We shall feel in many ways in our daily lives the sharp pinch of total war.
