The sound caused johnny to think it was a cannon fire and lightning really caused the crack.

# data[].attributes.body
Johnny thought the crack he heard was cannon fire because there was a British frigate chasing him and he was worried that the frigate had overtaken them.

What really caused the crack was lightning striking the mast. The lighting hurt four crew members.

Primary Sources

The author includes quotes from John Adams dairy because when he wrote those sentences, that is how he was really feeling at that time in history and that helps us visualize what was really happening in the past because he was really there. The seasickness he felt was written down in his diary. When he says "The smoke of seacoal, the Smell of stagnant putrid water, the odor of the Ship where sailors sleep..." that helps us see that the sickness he was feeling was more than one thing. The author includes quotes because John Adams was there at that point in history.

In the picture below , you can tell that in was hard to sail in this weather and the author wanted someone who was there to experience it.  It also makes the book more believable .

Visual Elements

The illustrations in the book add meaning to the story and communicate the tone by showing different viewpoints of the story. For example, on page 332, it shows Captain Tucker's point of view from his telescope. To contrast so, on page 330, it shows us the ship and it's harsh surroundings from third point of view. Each separate image displays the same story in a different way to help us see how the story's tone is harsh and brutal.

I think that the author includes quotes from the diary because it gives it more of a realistice feeling. In the text it states "...The smoke of Seacoal, the Smell of stanant putrid Water, the odour of the ship where the sailors sleep, or any other offensive odor" this is giving the reader a thought of what it felt like to be on the ship. What a reader could figure out that it smelt really bad on the boat if they read this quout

Cause and Effect
Johnny Adams thought it was a cannon fire from the British frigates. It turned out that the ship was struck by lightning. The text states,"C-R-R-AAACK!...Was that cannon fire? Had the British frigate overtaken them? Would the firing continue until they surrendered? Or would the Boston fight until it sank between the waves?  In truth, there were no cannons at work. "The ship has been struck by lightning!" an officer told them."

Cause and Effect
Johnny thought the crack was cannon fire because there was a big boom that sounded like cannon fire also there were 3 frigates directly behind them that had been following johnny , his dad and the crew for 2 days.But it was caused by lightning.

Primary Sources
We think that the author used primary sources because it helps you understand how it actualy was back there especially when they used a quote from his actual diary and that shows to people that it actually happened and it was a historical fact. Thanks for reading this

We think the author uses direct quotes because then we could know exactly how John Adams felt. For example, on page 331 it says Seasickness, seems to be the Effect of Agitation. The smoke of Seacoal, the Smell of the stagnant putrid Water... That shows exactly how he was feeling by showing us his viewpoint of the journey.
