I think the control of Boston early in the Revolutionary War was important because if it never occurred, we would not have states and would all be independent
I might be wrong..
Thank You, Ma'am by Langston Hughes, tells the story of Mrs. Jones, an elderly woman walking home, and Roger, a teenager who tries to steal her purse so he can buy a new pair of blue suede shoes. She takes him to her home instead of the police station, gives him food and cleans him up.
Hope this helps you!
