at least two paragraphs describing the differences and similarities in the economic and political contexts that the 13 colonies and the Hong Kong colony faced. Put this on your blog! If you want extra credit, correctly use the grammar items - units 13 through 18 - that we have gone over this term and underline them! For your reference, I've linked this page to some more resources describing colonial life.
The differences:
Britain's economic policy increases the 13 colonies' disconent. The raw materials must sell to Britain only. They had no free trade. And the colonies use Britain's ships to transport goods only. The British government passed some actsso that the colonists had to pay for the cost of keeping this army, the acts are: the Sugar Act(1764), the Stamp Act(1765) and the Toenshend Acts(1767)
This set off a a quarrel between the 2 sides over right to tax led to the American War of Independence.
The growth of Hong Kong depended greatly on domestic transport of citizens and cargo across the Victoria Harbour.
Many new industries were set up in Hong Kong in 1990s.These included the lamp,battery,textile and ratio industries.
The government started to build public hospitals in 1848; set up the Sanitary Board in 1883; and ordered Chinese prople to whitewash their houses twice a year.
In 1864 the first large scale modern bank Hong Kong Shanghai Bank would be established turning Hong Kong into the focal point of financial affairs in Asia.
One observer summed up the decades as "politics, propaganda, panic, rumor, riot, revolution and refugees".
The similarities of the 13 colonies and Hong Kong is they could have their own system.
The growth of Hong Kong depended greatly on domestic transport of citizens and cargo across Victoria Harbour.

Ella, you are trying, but not successfully demonstrating an understanding of the similarities and differences; perhaps you can compare specific economic and political aspects of the two colonies instead of writing two separate, disparate paragraphs.
