We chose lonely by Christina Perri becuase we felt that since this song seems to be very sad. It also seems like the persons perspective who is singing this is lonely and went through something very deep. We chose this song becuase it seemed to represent Anne Marie Pennsworth Clark becuase she gets reallt sad when he parents get sad and she might think she is lonely. But then even though samuel comes to her in the woods and lets her come along and he seems like an older brother but as she grows later on in philidelphia she might still remember her birth parents she might still feel a little lonely later on in life so this song might descibe he feeling/thoughts.

"Annie exploded out of the house and ran toward the barn. three of four of the soldiers shot at her but missed, and once she was around the barn she ran for the trees. More men tried to hit her but missed."  I think this quote is interesting because many experienced  German Hessian's tried shooting a little girl with no success at all. Also they were really skilled with shooting from a far range. -PAGE 83

" For the first in his life, Samuel wanted to kill a man." This is interesting because the had the new instinct that he wouldn't have acquired if he was not exposed to the cruelty of the British have treated for his parents.

This book starts of with Samuel(he is thirteen). He lives in the British colony of Pennsylvania. Samuel is really good at hunting and being in the woods it is like as if he is one with the woods. Then rumors come to where Samuel lives. The rumor that they hear is that the American patriots have begun a war against the English. Samuel doesn't think anything of this because the civilization in the east seem to far away to affect him or his family or anyone that it there with them in there settlement. But then Samuel comes back from hunting in the wilderness even though he hasn't caught anything and he finds that the war has come to him. There has been an attack by the British soldiers and the Iroquois and the cabins have been burned, and the people that live in the settlement have been killed. Then he discovers that his parents have become prisoners. Samuel uses his wilderness skill to track where the British and his parents are going because he has to save his parents. Throughout his journey he always comes almost face to face with the enemy and almost get's caught. And when he does he ends up saving himself or get saved by some nice people.

One thing that was true was that during this time period there were patriots involved just like during the real war.
In the book woods runner it says that The Revolutionary War was in 1776 the author was not wrong because the real  The Revolutionary War lasted from 1775-1738.
The British and Hessian soldiers were mostly the only characters that were real. Samuel, Abner, and Samuel's parents are not people known in history they resemble many of the civilians lives in this time period.

Explain what happened in your book that actually took place during that time period.

Abner is always cheerful and vibrant young man with excellent academic and social skills who is sure to have a bright future ahead of himself. Abner has a wide variety of interest, ranging from reading to soccer. His main interest, however, is building and maintaining relationships with family and friends. Abner is a humanitarian who has volunteered his services at his church and his town library. As a high school student, Abner ranks within the top 35% of his class and has constantly challenged himself, taking both Accelerated English, and AP Social Studies courses throughout high school. Abner is in soccer and he shows a true passion for it. This semester, Abner has been given the opportunity to gain real-world work experience and interim as a bank teller. His go-getter attitude has helped him gain a sense of independence and prepared him well for life after high school. In conclusion, this is my recommendation.
