Write a letter to King George III as the American Colonists. Please follow the outline of the Declaration of Independence.

- Opening

- How you're feeling

- List of complaints

- What you have done in the past

- Is there a future between you



Below is an example....

Dear K.G.
I’m not sure how to start this letter but I feel we need to talk. I've been
thinking about us a lot lately. Things used to be so great - it was like we
were made for each other. I mean everyone said it was perfect. I thought we would be
together forever but then things changed.


A relationship should be give-and-take, but recently you’ve just seemed to
take. I mean, you do whatever you want and you don’t ask me about my
own feelings. I don’t think you ever took into consideration my feelings
when you make decisions for us.


Some of the things that I would like to point out specifically that have
upset me in the past few months include: you always choosing which
restaurants we go eat at, you always making me feel like I have to hang
out with your family, and you making me feel like I’m always inferior to
you.


I have tried to make this work, giving you too many opportunities to
change your ways. And yes, it is true that you have fixed some of our
problems, but overall, you just seem to focus on changing the little stuff.
You haven’t made any attempts to work on some big personality issues.
I've been thinking about this for a while and while I don’t want to hurt you,

I think it’s time that we ended this. I mean it's just not going to work. I
need some time by myself to see what it is like on my own. You were always
making me do things YOU wanted to do and never let me have my own
voice. I'm sorry things didn't work out but I gave you time to change and
you didn’t. YOU are the one to blame for this.


Sorry but "US" is over.
Signed,
A.C.

Your Majesty, our once-strong bond has faltered due to decisions made without my input, creating feelings of marginalization. Despite attempts to address issues, fundamental inequalities persist, necessitating contemplation of a future apart.

Your Majesty,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. It is with a heavy heart and a sense of deep reflection that I take up the quill to address you, our sovereign and the ruler of this great empire. Our history together has been a long and complex one, marked by moments of unity and shared purpose. However, recent events have compelled me to express my sentiments and concerns.

In contemplating the state of our relationship, I find myself grappling with a range of emotions. There was a time when the bond between us was strong, and the ties that bound our destinies seemed unbreakable. Alas, the current circumstances have cast a shadow over the once-promising connection we shared.

I cannot ignore the feelings of frustration and disappointment that have taken root within me. A relationship demands reciprocity, yet it appears that decisions affecting both of us are made without regard for my perspective or well-being. The autonomy I once enjoyed in our union has diminished, and it feels as though my voice has been stifled.

To elucidate my grievances, I must enumerate the instances that have troubled me deeply. Your imposition of arbitrary choices, akin to selecting the restaurants we frequent, has left me feeling marginalized. Furthermore, the expectation to engage exclusively with your familial circle has been stifling, denying me the agency to cultivate my own connections.

Despite my attempts to salvage our connection, I regret to say that my efforts have often been met with only superficial changes. While some minor issues have been addressed, the fundamental challenges persist. It is disheartening that the core aspects of our relationship, marked by inequality and a lack of consideration, remain unaltered.

I have not taken these matters lightly, having invested considerable time and energy in seeking resolution. However, the fundamental changes necessary to sustain a healthy and equitable partnership have not materialized. The trajectory of our association appears unsustainable, and I am compelled to contemplate a future apart.

In contemplating a future between us, I am left questioning whether a harmonious coexistence is possible. It is not my desire to sever the ties that have bound us for so long, but the preservation of my own agency and dignity demands a reevaluation of our connection. I implore you to reflect upon the issues raised in this correspondence and consider whether a path forward, marked by mutual respect and understanding, is feasible.

It is my sincerest hope that our histories need not diverge irreparably. However, the onus lies on both parties to engage in meaningful dialogue and make the necessary changes to ensure a future built on equality and shared values. I am open to the prospect of reconciliation, should the conditions for a just and equitable partnership be established.

Yours with due consideration,

[Your Name]

An American Colonist
