Authors Note: The author’s purpose for writing this piece is to show you how it might be different for the reader if it was in Paul Revere’s prospective.
In the book “Guns for General Washington” the main character William Knox and his brother Henry Knox are soldiers in the Continental Army decide to bring General Washington cannons and other supplies to fight the British. Winter is brewing and they have yet to walk over 300 miles to receive their supplies. William, Henry, and their group of men must travel through brutal weather and harsh situations in order to reach Fort Ticonderoga, there destination. General Washington’s loyal spy Paul Revere is the one that figured out that this ambush would be happening. If it wasn’t for Henry Knox’s brilliant idea and Paul Revere’s bravery, none of this would ever happen and the people of Fort Ticonderoga would not live much longer. Their supplies are running low and they are in dire need of help. The scene I will be doing is Paul Revere spying on the British.
One way that Henry Knox’s point of view influences the reader is how he describes what’s going on and why. Henry is a soldier. He’s determined to help General Washington and fight for his and the people of Fort Ticonderoga’s freedom. Being the youngest soldier of the legion, he’s one of the most determined and bravest one of them all along. His older brother William Knox is also a very outgoing and brave soldier. He plays a big roll on Henry’s life and helped him to become such a great warrior. Although, if this story had been in Paul Revere’s prospective, the reader’s connection to the book would be a lot more thorough. Paul Revere Jr. is a very outgoing character and describes and acts more like he knows what’s going on. It’s also much easier and more interesting from his point of view because there’s more action and excitement. When Paul Revere told General Washington about British’s plan, if it would have been in Paul Revere’s point of view, it would have been much clearer.
Without Paul Revere warning General Washington, the outcome of the upcoming battle may not have been the same. People could’ve died or been taken prisoner by the British. Luckily for General Washington, his two prestigious soldiers Henry and William Knox had brought supplies and food for their famine. Although, this is also because of Paul Revere’s courageous and brave acts. These men all had a major role on this war. Without Paul, They wouldn’t have known what was coming, but without Will and Henry Knox, they wouldn’t have had enough of the right supplies to fight the British.
