Jonathan is a RiskTaker

For me, Jonathan is a risktaker. On the chapters we read today, he was hiding from the Hessian sldiers on the woods. There were three soldiers on different directions. The soldiers started to tak to each other. Jonathan didn't understand anything about what were they saying. He tried to escape but the soldiers had him surrounded. Then on page 60 it says," Jonathan crouched low to the ground, certain the Hessians knew exactly where he was and that they were only deciding what to do with him. The young soldier spoke again, but Jonathan understood. He jumped up. "Don't shoot!" he cried." He took a big risk by jumping up and telling them not to shoot. Truly, for me that would be a risktaker.

Jonathan is a risk taker because in war you have to make many difficult decisions. in the beginning of the book Jonathan is so ecstatic to go to war not knowing that his first step on the battle field could be his last one .he jumped up "don't shoot"he cried . with this you see that Jonathan was taking a risk ,because what when he did this they got startled and shot him on the spot . in the book it shows a lot on how he is a risk taker .by giselle cole 705
