My overall impression of the book Blood on the River is that it’s a very good book. The reason I like it is because, it’s really suspenseful and it gets me really excited to keep reading. I think Elisa Carbone did a very good job of going to lots of places just to get facts so she could write an awesome book like that.
The character I can connect the most with is probably Samuel because he goes through a lot of hardships, either it being food, survival or Indian attacks. He also has to befriend someone he doesn’t trust yet.
The character that me most about life and death in the beginning and the end, was probably Captain John Smith because when he made Samuel stand on one foot, and told him that the whole colony has to be able to stand on two feet to survive.
I think the theme of the story that Elisa Carbone is trying to incorporate is bravery. I know this because on pages 78-80 it shows how Samuel knew just what to do about the situation they were in. With a lot of arrows flying around the fort, he got both the boys to go under the tent. James tried to get out but Samuel was pulling him, James started to get away but then Samuel lunged at him and grabbed him harder but James bit him and got away.
Another theme I thought was survival when he was at the Native American village how he learned how to make things using all-natural supplies. I think this because, when he was in the village he learned how to hunt and survive. The supplies he learned to make was “arrows, a bow, and a knife, then Kainta taught him how to shoot straight strait at target practice.
The following are the compromise made before the Compromise of 1850:• The Missouri Compromise: Missouri was admitted into the Union as a slave state. However, Maine was taken away from Massachusetts and made into a non-slave state. It was done to balance out the number of slaves and non-slave states in the US.• Slave Trade Compromise: Slavery went for 20 years because of this compromise.• Connecticut Compromise: The Constitution set up two houses in Congress: the House of Representatives (proportional membership based on population) and the Senate (two seats per state). • The Three-Fifths Compromise: Slaves counted as 3/5 of a person under the Constitution for apportioning House of Representative seats.
It had brought racial discrimination to prosper for slave states. For Non-slave states. The Northerners were able to grow economically. They had railroads and had established industrialized states.
<span>The correct answer is mutual respect. Beowulf respects Hrothgar as a king and Hrothgar knows who Beowulf is. The saxon code had them all respect each other based on their families, and Beowulf was famous so Hrothgar respected him, and since Hrothgar was a noble king, Beowulf respected him as well.</span>
One central main idea in "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" is murder, which occurs at the chicken house. Hank and Drover are invested into finding who is doing the killing throughout the selection. Goine uses the satirical form with the main idea murder when Hank is working traffic, then sees Plato and Beulah in Billy's pickup. He then tries to show off but in the process annoys Billy, which the results in him using the truck door to destroy the foor legged nuisanse over the ditch. By using satirical form Goine is able to create suspense and drama. The second central idea is darkness. Through all of the murder and despair going on the story is still entertaining andhas the reader on the edge of their seat. His satirical form again enhances the story through dramatic sarcasm.
