pg.138 paragraph 1
“ ‘Pa!’ I screamed as I ran to him. I threw my arms around my father and tried to stop myself from breaking into tears. I knew they weren’t far away.” I chose this passage because it shows how much Thomas missed his father.
pg.131 paragraph 2
“Within two steps I was hit by a wave of foul-smelling air. It was different from anything I’d encountered before. There was a sweet, sickening odour, almost like alcohol, but underneath that was a more powerful smell----like rotting meat.” This passage describes how nasty a field hospital smelled in the 19th century.
pg.125 paragraph 6
“ ‘Natives are able to just fade into the forest,’ FitzGibbon explained. ‘Hundreds of men can be only dozens of feet away but invisible … until they want to be seen.’ ” This passage describes how devious the natives were and why the natives were a good ally in the war of 1812.
pg.147 paragraph 3 and 4
“ ‘AND THEN I’m planning on deserting and joining the American forces’ ”
“ ‘What did you say?’ I exclaimed, turning in my saddle to face FitzGibbon.” These passages show how easy it can be to get someone’s attention when they aren’t paying attention
