        <description><![CDATA[In the book "Johnny Tremain" by Esther Forbes, Johnny has been conditioned that there are different classes of people. Johnny is considered to be low in society while Miss Lavinia, having wealth and opulence is considered to be worthy of his respect and above Johnny.  Lavinia also has great beauty which is even more denied to Johnny who is in no position to be worthy of approaching her with his eyes nor his attention.

        <description><![CDATA[In Chapter five the reader begins to see a different more dedicated Johnny evolve.  He is determined to go back to where his men are at.  He is still just 16 years old but now he thinks like a man.  He could easily have stayed at Cilla's but he tells her he has to sneak back.  He demonstrates that he has become more committed by his statement;

"It is just as James Otis said," he thought.  "We are fighting partly for just that.  Because...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I definitely think that Johnny is just as committed to the revolutionary cause as Rab was.  He does everything in his power to help the Revolution, even when it could endanger him.  Although he, unlike Rab, ends up fine, it doesn't mean he wasn't committed.
When Rab is going to leave Boston to go and fight, Johnny wants to come with him.  When Rab reminds him he can do more in Boston, he stays and collects very important information that he...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Johnny's injury definitely makes him a better person and probably a stronger one as well.
At the beginning of the book, Johnny is really something of an arrogant jerk.  He thinks he is better than everyone else in his peer group because he has a decent education (compared to other apprentices) and because he's such a good silversmith.
But then his injury tests him.  At first, it seems like he's going to fail because he starts to feel sorry...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The greatest fear of these acts by the common citizen would be that the government was entitled to arrest or deport citizens and foreigners for speaking out against government policies. Politics of the past are not very different of politics today. There are politicians who would muzzle the voices of opposition given the opportunity. We must take great care not to repeat 1789 history and attempt to ban the views of those citizens who...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The two men who rode out with the warning were Paul Revere (of course) and William Dawes.
The two had been sent by Dr. Joseph Warren to ride from Boston (by different routes) to Lexington to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams that the British Army was heading towards Lexington.
Although the warning they gave is popularly remembered as "The British are coming," this would not have made sense for them to shout since they thought of themselves as...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Johnny gets Pumpkin the items he needs to attempt an escape from the British Army. In return, Pumpkin gives Johnny his musket.
Pumpkin, who is a private in the British Army, has little heart for fighting the Americans. All he wants out of life is to have a little land of his own and to be a farmer. Pumpkin tells Johnny that, although if it comes to fighting, they will "fight like hell", in reality a lot of the British regulars sympathize...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The most frightening element of the Alien and Sedition Acts would be the apparent suspension of the First Amendment's entitlement to free speech.  In an act of government repression and in the hopes of silencing dissent, the idea of a political body being able to strike down free speech and monitor what people say and think, with the power to imprison in the process would be quite scary.  It also would scare me that the Constitution's...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As an ordinary citizen, you would need to fear the Alien and Sedition Acts because you could get in serious legal trouble for simply saying anything that somebody thought was disrespectful of the government.  Most of the people prosecuted under the Acts were not "ordinary," but some were.
My favorite story is one where Pres. Adams drove through a town and the local militia fired a salute as he passed.  Someone said "there goes the President...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The irony of James Otis attending the last meeting of the Observer in Chapter 8 is that the leaders of the budding revolution had not wanted him to come, but he showed up anyway.  Once there, Otis amazed the group with his great oratorical skills, clarifying their mission and reminding them of some very important points.
James Otis had suffered a blow on the head in the course of his early revolutionary activities, and the injury had had...]]></description>
