Blood on the River 3#

29-41
        This chapter was really just a follow up of from the last chapter. Captain Smith was not hanged for what he did. William lied all about of what Captain Smith did. Captain Smith was not a murderer. As Captain Smith was being brought to England he talked to the Captain of the ship and told him the truth, and showed him the evidence. So the ship turned around and started to head back to the island they were at before. Now that Samuel knows he is going back to the island with the cannibal natives, he gets scared and starts to worry again. Samuel doesn't want anybody in the crew to know that he is scarred of the natives at the island, so he thinks he's going to die because nobody will know that he wants to be protected. How will Samuel stay alive and fight his life from the cannibal natives in the sam island he's docked in.

Blood on the River 2#

pgs. 14-28
         This chapter was very exciting. 12 year old Samuel and the crew landed right on Englands coast. They're stuck there because, they can't get the anchor up. After about two weeks the crew starts to complain, that they want to go back to their homes, which they can't because they signed a 7 year contract to be working on the ship. William starts a riot because, they can't go home, so Captain Smith tells them they can't do nothing about it because, they signed a contract, which makes William mad. William got so mad that he lied and got Captain Smith clammed up for a murder. So now Captain Smith is being held on the ship and, is being shipped to England in two weeks to be hanged.

Blood on the River By: Elisa Carbone

I read pages 1-12 and  I thought it was a prettty suspenceful way to start a book. I read about this boy named Samuel who is stealing food in a store. As he's robbing something the store keeper catches him while hes walking out. So Samuel runs out of the store and hides to a nearby alley way, and waits there all night until the coast is clear from the shopkeeper.
