Theodore Boone: The Abduction By John Grisham
In my opinion, I think that Theodore and I have many things in common. Although we may have never met, based on Theodore Boone: The Abduction, John Grisham gave many hints and facts about Theodore’s characteristics, hobbies, and appearance. Happily, almost all of his hobbies matched right up with my interests as well.
First, Theodore and I are very curious kids who are good students who are nice and very loyal to our friends. We are also about the same age, Theo is 13 and I’m 11 so it's only a two year difference of age. Theodore also “saved” his friend from her dad which is a big achievement. I certainly did not save a friend, but I am a black belt which takes at least 2 years of hard work and training which is definitely a big achievement.

Also, the cavalry did not check the Pine Thicket in Maryland where john Wilkes Booth and David Herold were hiding.…

Eliza, Eva, Mrs. Bird, Miss Ophelia, Aunt Chloe and Mrs. Shelby all exhibit power and understanding of good over evil in ways that most of the male characters in Stowe's novel do not. This emotional strength, when compared with the strength of the male characters, shows the belief of women as equals to men.…

Morgan's book, American Slavery, American Freedom, is a book focused on the Virginian colonists and how their hatred for Indians, their lust for money, power, and freedom led to slavery.
