The Year of The Hangman by Gary Blackwood
Prompt:
- List some problems the characters faced?
- What do you think will happen next?
One problem Creighton has faced is he is taken to the colonies. He was taken by two men onto a boat which was heading to the colonies. Those men took him because his mother couldn't handle him alone. Creighton was always getting into trouble and taking his mothers things to gamble. His mother thought that sending him with his uncle in the colonies he might be disciplined. His uncle and lieutenant were taken as prisoner so Creighton was alone now. He had to be a spy and find out what the Americans were doing. He couldn't handle being in the colonies by himself without money or a home. He then finds a job and home with Dr. Franklin. From there he gets many secrets to pass onto his uncle.
Another problem Creighton has faced was helping his uncle and lieutenant escape, since they were being held as prisoners. He first had to get a gun as protection. He stole the gun from Peter, his friend. The gun belonged to Benedict Arnold and Peter was supposed to keep it safe. Creighton took the gun by falling on the ground and then when Peter helped pick him up he snatched it from him. He brought the gun to his uncle to help him escape. They escaped but now everyone was looking for the person that helped his uncle and lieutenant.
I think that next Creighton will get caught being a spy. Dr. Franklin figured out that Creighton had helped the two prisoners escape. I think that Dr. Franklin will figure out he is a spy, but let Creighton choose on what Dr. Franklin should do about it. Another thing I think could happen is Creighton could be caught by the people he hangs out with, like Peter. All the people he gambles with are getting suspicious ever since they brought up Harry Brown (Creighton's father). They might find out that Creighton is a traitor just like his dad.
