THE FIGHTING GROUND
Very Young Courageous Boy
Intro
If you have ever read a book about the Civil War you know that it can be tragic, inspiring, and adventurous. Well this book is both inspiring and tragic. There are many different moments where he is either brave or afraid.
Summary
This book is about a boy who is not technically captured by the Hessians and he actually fights a battle with them which is quite brave because it was a life or death situation. And surprisingly, they win the war. He goes back home unharmed. He also does this because his dad was injured home and he wanted to show his dad he was worthy.
Important symbols
father-son bond
This is a picture of the father-son bonding which describes how Johnathan and his father had a close bond between one another. And they had a close bond bc while his father was injured he stepped up to the plate and took control like REAL MAN.
determination
This image shows a group of boys just like Johnathan who sacrificed themselves to fight for what they believe just as Johnathan did. This also leads up to how situations like this cause people to be influenced to fight for what is right not for a desire.
Uniforms
This picture accurately shows how the difference between the federalists aka pro-slavery and patriots aka anti-slavery supporters ans what each side wore
