Five Fascinating Facts

184923 — 2017-12-07 20:54:05 UTC

"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.

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.

Book's Sound track

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.
