Create a metaphor:Create a metaphor: The Colonists did not enjoy the actions of the British

Historians often use the metaphor of the Colonists as unruly teenagers seeking independence from their parents

Come up with a specific instance from your own life (or a movie, or a friend’s) which could be used as a metaphor for how the Sugar and Quartering acts were received by colonists.
