Birth in Poverty
My brother missed my birth. My mother, unfortunately, died giving birth to me, but as my father has told when one thing leaves another takes its place. My brother was making a life in america while we rot in this poverty strucken shack we call a home. and so began the hard knock life or ours. -
Learning expiriences
i taught myself how to read and write recently, and it is the best thing to ever happen to me. I have found interest in books of law and government. I think i may want to be a lawyer when i grow up! -
The Opportunity Of life time
My father had grown deeply depressed through my life often telling me how proud he is of the man i have come to be. We received a letter from my brother, Ennis. He sent us money and told us to come to America! he went on about how he met people that got him a job and a home! we embarked on our journey the following day! -
New Beginings
We met my brother the following day he was accompanied by men in suits who offered us homes and jobs which we took at the moment. my father was a little hesitant at first. he looked right into the man's eyes as he said "the name's Tweed, Boss Tweed" and my father shook his hand firm but still unsure and uneasy. http://www.albany.edu/~dkw42/tweed.html -
Ellis Island
We arrived at an immigration station off of the coast of New York. The Statue of liberty enlightend my father's attitude and he went into Ellis Island with a smile on his face. The doctors examined me and my father with a surprised look on our face as we passed every examine. As degrading as they were they were worth it as we walked into the Land of Opportunity. -
election day
it seems as though we were living quite well. we both had jobs i had matured a great deal. we had a knock on our apartment door it was Boss Tweed asking for that in favor for all he has done for us to vote for him to be head of tamany hall for another term. My father said he would read all political news to make his decision. Boss Tweed gave him a dirty look. My father was a very intelligent man, he knew what boss tweed was, a monster. -
Corruption at its finest
It was just the next week that i had learned that my father and brother had been murdered. I did not cry for i have known pain and suffering my entire life. Things could not have gotten worse, until i learned that i was charged with the murder of my family members. Boss Tweed had used his power to arrest me for his murders. The sentence was life but i didnt have time for that.

My Birthday
today is my birthday, it has only been 20 days and everyone of them as had atleast 1 fight. My cell mate is named Reynold stein, he's a jewish african american. He claims to be 100 years old, he became my mentor as i comtemplated the angers, enemies, and struggles that life has to offer. for my birthday he gave me a gift, a key... and his last words of advice.. "take william down it is your revelation" -
The beginning of judgement
I am only 15 but everyone mistakes me for 20, im going to use that to my advantage i practically walked out of the prison doors as i made my escape beating a guard and taking his clothing and weapons. I was back on my way to Boss Tweed. I thought everything through before i made even the slightest of movements -
Phase 1: work
Since my appearence has changed a lot since i last saw Boss Tweed i knew he would not recognize me. Since i was planning to destroy a politicion i thought what better way to do it than to become a lawyer and pose corrupt. I did not have time to go through the rigerous law school instead i assumed the identity of a late lawyers son that had no family ties was the perfect plan. having studied law back in Ireland added in my favor. My identity; Samuel Barnes, 22. -
Pieces of the puzzle
I had caught tweed's attention in the court room often freeing his thugs but secretely taking them down as time past, i would later become a handyman of sorts. through that i found the fight clubs he ran often entering and winning money for tweed, gaining his trust as time progressed. -
Phase 2: Trust issues
Tweed often questioned loyalty even of his closest associates, and as i went up in the ranks he questioned mine. He asked me personally "Would you betray me?" i said never but not fast enough as a group of thugs restrained me He told them to "Make him prove it". As i felt the fists of my "friend" Lenny smash into my strong conditioned stomach muscles. I looked at him and said sorry, and in a matter of seconds 3 of the thugs been knocked out by my hand, then I brought the same fate to Lenny. -
Phase 3: cold hard evidence
Tweed only cared about money and as head of tammany hall he had a lot of it. I decided to trick one of his associates into getting drunk and arrested in which i would defend him in court, after i stole 5000 dollars from him which i planted in his horse and carraige as he was getting escorted there by police and in suspision he was arrested and questioned, he had no reason as to how he had got the money. This caused much anger to Boss Tweed. I was promoted as a new associate. -
Little Tweed
Boss Tweed gave me a task; "Train my nephew to be a strong man such as yourself, He will need to be a fighter if he hopes to accomplish what i have". I taught him him what i knew about fighting but mostly what i knew about pain... The 17 year old boy listened, "Do you want to know, what i know about pain, My mother died giving birth to me, i struggled to survive for 14 years, my brother and father were murdered and i had to watch, i know pain and so will your uncle" Then i killed him, -
Blame game
Tweed became worried when his nephew had gone missing at first the fingers were pointed at me, then i had explained how it was his associate or maybe his associates that had done it, they were scared that he would take over tammany hall after you when they wanted it for themselves.Tweed bought it and had 2 that he was suspicious of killed. -
Unravelment
The funeral of Tweed's nephew had been postponed for 3 years due to "delays". i had sat next to Tweed during the service and i whispered to him "Today is my birthday, so was the day i killed your nephew, you took everything from me, my family, my jobs, my new home and nearly my life. and now im going to destroy everything dear to you" he looked and asked "Connor?" i smiled as i knocked him unconcious then went to work. -
my revenge
I hid boss tweed in the balcony of the church where when he awakes can see everything. i locked all the doors except for the two balcony doors and went up into the other ones. Stashed in the cabenets of the balcony were guns, ammunitions, and molotiv cocktails. it may have been september 25 but it looked like the 4th of july as the church lit up in flames as the tweed family burned, al of them except for william. -
His time has come
After leaving william to the pain he had left me i decided it was time to put him down. I chased him in every way shape and form as we went out of the country to costa rica where i beat nearly to death then i was shot by a guard in the right leg shoulder and right beside my heart. -
Justice is served
Tweed had retreated back to New York where i saw him in court, i put him away for the rest of his sad life only to see sickness take his life. My goal had been accomplished i had won, i had avenged my family and perhaps saved New York City. All again on my birthday. Where does life lead next?
