Essays / Founding Fathers Essay - VFW Patriot's Pen (would they believe you?) [9]

Hello, I am entering the VFW Patriot's Pen Essay Contest with my school. The topic for this year is "What Would I Tell America's Founding Fathers"

I want to do something creative. I have an idea in my head of what I want to do, but for the first paragraph I am having trouble expressing my words.

My plan is to start off saying something along the lines of:

If you could talk to the Founding Fathers, what would you say? Would you talk about _________? Or would you talk about __________? There are many things you can talk about, but the real question is, would they believe you?

Then I want to start going on with "What they believe me if I told them _______?" for each section saying different things. I'm not sure how I will end it, but I will get to that later.

I don't think the beginning that I currently have is strong enough especially the last sentence, but I just needed to get something out there for help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
