Fighting Ground 12:30-10:30

20 05 2008

I thought these chapters were the best. To me, I thought that when the hessians didn’t give up and they were taking Jonathan hostage were the best parts. When the hessians had taking Jonathan hostage I thought he was going to die.



The Fighting Ground 6:30-8:15

9 05 2008

These chapters are really interesting. Jonathan finally connects with the b0y and can talk to him. It’s kinda creepy when they find the little boys parents dead. I kinda expected that was the case. Why would the boy just be sitting there in the shed like that?. I feel bad for him. I don’t like the Hessians. Since they were the ones who killed boys parents. These chapters were sad and interesting.

Fighting Ground 1240-1430

I thought that these chapters were okay. A little funny part was when the women went running into house. also when the corporal was screaming his head of trying to get them into battle formation. I liked when the corporal was screaming the curse words.

Fighting Ground 10:45-12:30

24 04 2008

I thought Jonathan should have just got the news and went home to wait for his turn someday to go to war. It was pretty ironic that he was asked by the tavern keeper if he wanted to leave if he was there anyway and he looked enchanted by the gun anyway. Also I was sure the corporal wanted to shoot the militia because of their constant whining. John’s, dad’s, friend sounded more like an escaped convict more than a militia soldier. I really liked these chapters because they were exciting and made me feel like I was there.

The Fighting Ground 9:58-10:25

23 04 2008

The Fighting Ground times 9:58-10:25 were sort of dull. 10:25 was a little more interesting. Jonathan seems nice, but i wouldn’t want to be him. I kinda feel bad for him since his dad won’t let him go to war; i can understand that, since Jonathan’s older brother and cousin went to war. I hope the next times will be more interesting.
