A Young Boy

   

     Over the summer we were instructed to read three books. The books I read was The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Joy Luck Club, and A Young Patriot. The book that really caught my eye was A Young Patriot, by Jim Murphy.

The book A Young Patriot is a story about a young boy who seeks to be in war, in the American Revolution. The young boy name is Joseph Plumb Martin born on November 21,1760. Joseph and his friends were fourteen, fifteen and he thought if they are doing it so I should to. 

Joseph's mom Susanna married a wealthy man named Ebenezer. Ebenezer was a minister in a (Becket's Congregational) church. Ebenezer suddenly lost his job because of his impulsive nature which upset the people of the church. Joseph's parents decided to leave Joseph with Susanna's parents since money was running low. There he lived a well life. He even became attached to his grandfather who kept him busy. Joseph and his grandfather worked on a farm. As he grew up the British imposed many tax acts and violence on the American colonies.

When Joseph join the American army at a young age he experience different things along the way.  Two month of the daily army routine and he was homesick, boredom, and tired. In war Joseph was no where near afraid. He took a gun and started to shot at the British. Some soldiers had no shoes so they tied old rags around their feet others had no choice but to stay barefoot. They took boat and walked. Joseph and the other men that survived walked pasted many small fight but no one was killed. 

The return home was starving, freezing and being ill.  He was discharged from the army at the age of twenty two years old.  He married and had five kids, worked as a town clerk.

I would recommend this book because it teaches about the struggles and lessons people went through during the American Revolution.
