Aaron And The Green Mountain Boys Analysis

Decent Essays
Aaron and the Green Mountain Boys by Patricia Lee, portray the American revolution during the fight for independence from Great Britain. The story plot is of the main character Aaron finding his during the revolutionary war and finding where he believes he belongs in the green mountain boys fighting for freedom. I feel the climax of the story comes during the point when the redcoats arrive and Aaron and the green mountain men have to defend the horse and charges from being taken. Issues for the time was about Aaron and him wanting to join the fight, with his family thinking he is too young and should not be involved and leave it to adults. This affected Aaron and developed his ambition to be good enough to join the ranks of the mountain men
