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.

Answer:
The word that gives the best clues to the meaning of prolific is:
a. Numerous
Explanation:
It is common for writers to offer some sort of contextual explanation for an uncommon word they have used. It is both a way of developing the idea and message they wish to convey and a way of elucidating meanings.
In the passage, "She was the most prolific painter I have ever met. She painted numerous major paintings each year and exhibited hundreds in several important galleries," the writer talks of a prolific painter. Even if we do not know what prolific means, we can assume it is related to the explanation that comes right after it. In this case, it is the mention of the fact that she has painted numerous paintings. We can safely assume that prolific has a connection to the number of things someone makes or produces.
We would, in fact, be correct. The adjective prolific can be used to refer to a person, an animal, or a plant that produces a lot - products, offspring, or fruit, for example. It can also be used to refer to something that exists in abundance, something that is numerous. Therefore, prolific is directly connected to the word numerous.
