John Wilkes Booth
By: Hailey Bragg
"John Wilkes Booth awoke depressed. It was Good Friday morning, April 14th 1865. The confederacy was dead. His cause was lost and his dreams of glory over." (Page 9)
This quote was Direct and represents John Wilkes Booth as depressed.
"A fellow actor described his eyes as being living jewels." (Page 10)
This quote is indirect and represents Booths looks and represents him being fierce.
"Booth knew the layout of Ford's intimately: The exact spot on 10th street where Lincoln would step out of his carriage,the box inside the theater where the president sat when he came to the preformance, the route Lincoln could walk and the staircasehe would climb to the box, the dark underground passageway beneath the stage." (Page 11)
This quote is indirect and is based off of Lincolns thoughts. This represents Lincoln as phsychotic.
"He only took a velvet-cased compass, keys, a whistle, a date book, a pencial, some money, a small knife, and a few other small items, including small photographs of five of his favorite girlfriends." (Page 20)
This shows that Booth was very greedy if he has 5 different girlfriends. This would be a indirect quote that would show his actions.
Our Prediction
I predict that based off of what I have already read about Booth I believe that book with go through with shooting Lincoln. I think this because he is so depressed and unhappy with the descions and effects that have come from what Lincoln has done. I think that he will have a very complicated plan not only to make sure he suceeds but t0o make sure he gets away after the shooting. Based off what I know about Booth and his personality I believe that he is going to do everything and anything he can do to make sure that Lincoln is dead and he is happy.
