Better Call Saul (Revere)
Thomas Graziano
The setting is our city of Boston, but 243 years ago, on the night of April 18, 1775. You, 16-year-old Saul Revere, receive an urgent courier at your family's Dorchester farm. Your uncle, Paul, is sick at his North End home, and needs to see you right away. For days, he has been telling you of his plan to warn fellow colonists if British troops move from Boston in the direction of Concord, where Massachusetts' Provisional Congress (and a large cache of weapons and ammunition) is based. You make it to his home to learn that Paul is sick with a very high fever and cannot even get out of bed. You two discuss as much as you can, given his condition. It becomes clear he would like you to now warn the Congress instead, but also that this is very dangerous. There are many possible paths through this simulation, but only one that represents success under the circumstances. (This path also has an assignment for continuing research in this topic.) Instructions on restarting will be provided at dead ends. What will you do first??
