So I read the book, Johnny Tremain. This book is historically accurate in many different ways like the time period, events occurring in the book, people mentioned in the book , and even where it took place. And I will explain those four ideas to you in these next couple of paragraphs.

It starts in the beginning as Johnny and the others getting ready to be woken up, to get to work. Johnny is a silversmith apprentice, we don’t really have those anymore so I would have to say that, being an silversmith apprentice is pretty way-back-when.

Not me, I was really confused when I read this the very first time because hello, I did not live in the 1770’s. So this has to distribute to the way they worded stuff back then near the American
