How to buy things online. Millions of people shop online everyday.

step 1 get out your device. you will need a phone, computer, tablet ext for this...

step 2. have on wifi. cant shop without wifi

step 3 pull up whatever sight your purchasing off of.

step 4 know what your buying.

step 5 try not to go over budget. spending to much is a thing, and people go crazy when it comes to shopping, especially online. try to spend a certain amount of money, this helps you save for better things. like lets say i have a amount of 300$ and i want to shop. i should only spend 150$ to save half of it to save for something i may need later. doesnt necessailry mean your going to spend half of it either, but you know how ppl shop these days.... -.- smh

step 6 if you are buying clothes you better know your size lool. but some sizes maybe different i thik it depends where you live or what you base off from like small, medium, large or a specific size like a 16. not into fashion so i dont know much about how sizing works other than small medium or large and you got the extra large. idk if this is similar to every country but sometimes they base off of number size as i mentioned above..

step 7 purchase whatever your buying. you got to know your credit card information whether you use visa or whatever you use

step 7 wait. this is the last step. waiting takes like 7-14 days depending on where your buying something from. lets say you live in the uk and you purchase something from idk russia. it will take a couple days to weeks depending on shipping or however their systems work with shipping..

step 8 you got your items. great

step 9 repeat all over again.

The Portrait of Paul Revere by John Singleton Copley. 250-word report.
OLEGan [10]

John Singleton Copley's portrait shows Paul Revere, an artisan. He is a famous silversmith and etcher. In this portrait, it seems the artisan is about to begin engraving the silver teapot he is holding on his hand, but we have interrupted him by looking at him on the portrait. He regardfully stares at us. He is not only an artisan, but a full artist. He is a smart man looking at us attentively. He is trying to guess what is the reason why we are disrupting him as he is a very important citizen in his society. Everybody knows that he is an excellent artisan, his work is widely known and recognized in the society he lives in.

This portrait was done in 1768. The painting technique used is oil on canvas. Its dimensions are 35 inches high and 28.5 inches wide. At present, it is at Carolyn A. and Peter S. Lynch Gallery (Revolutionary Boston, gallery 132.)

John Singleton Copley emigrated to London when Paul Revere made his legendary midnight ride to alert the Good citizens that the British were coming. He painted this portrait of Paul Revere some years earlier, when Revere was known as a silversmith with a flourishing Boston trade, but not as an American hero yet. Although Revere was active by then, even in revolutionary politics, Copley prudently kept the portrait free from any hint of controversy. We can see that the portrait captures the qualities that allowed Revere to play an instrumental role in colony times: physical strength, moral certainty, intelligence, and explicit dedication to a cause.
