Dear Ms.Clough's class,
Yes, I do agree because if there is no one else and Jonathan's father has a wound on his leg, it is best for Jonathan to go in the war and take the place of his father.He's been practicing, also.

What do you think the fighting ground is?

The fighting ground is the place where Jonathan and the Hessiens fight.

Sincerely,
Amber

Dear Ms.Clough's class,
I agree that Jonathan should go and fight because if his father has a wounded leg, someone has to take his place.

What do you think the fighting ground is?

I think the fighting ground is where the two enemies meet.

Brooks School
Lincoln, MA 		MESSAGE:
Dear Ms. Clough's book club 2,
No, he should have stayed because he disobeyed his father's orders. He was too young to go fight in the war and he did not know how to use a gun.

What do you think the fighting ground is?

I think the fighting ground is the hill and the farm where Jonathan lives.

Sincerely,
Jamel

Lincoln, MA 		MESSAGE:
Dear Ms. Clough's book club 2,
I think that he should not go because his father and mother did not let him go to war. He could get hurt or die if he went to war.

What do you think the fighting ground is?

The fighting ground is near Rock town on a hill and on this hill they had a small fight with 14 farmers and 30 Hessians. It is a place where they fought.

Sincerely,
Martin R.

Lincoln, MA 		MESSAGE:
Dear Ms.Clough's class,
I think he shouldn't go fight because his father would be sad. He might have lost a friend and he doesn't want to lose his son too.

What do you think the fighting ground is?

I think it is where they set up on the hill.

Sincerely,
Jennifer
