Major+Character

Major Character-Discuss what he/she is trying to achieve and how and why he/she is succeeding or failing. // Well,now that the book has ended,how do you think Jethro acted? My thoughts is that he was Mature,Responisble,Hard working,stands up for his family,and is very,very intelegent. // Rayne Burgin,3rd period says... Yep,the main character is still Jethro! But now,he is trying to achieve to make his family live. Because of his father's injury, he has to do that.. make the farm work,get the stuff and sell it, almost everything! He is succeeding though. He is feeding his family well and is doing his work like he was told.

Hello! This is Rayne Burgin, from third period. Personally, I think the main character is only Jethro. Why? Well first of all, on the back it says, (and I quote) "The unforgettable story of young Jethro Creighton who comes of age during the tubulent years of the Civil War." In that,it states that the story is Jethro's, right off the bat. Also,it follows what Jethro does in the story; not any of the other characters. It only shows what Jethro is doing, what he is hearing and so forth. From that, I think that proves that Jethro is indeed the main character. Anyway, Jethro isn't really trying to acheive anything but survive the Civil War with his family, pulling his family through the whole thing; hopefully with none of them dieing. But with war, most likely at least one family member will die. We heard that Eb and Tom are still okay,but what about Bill? He said he was leaving,and that was the last we heard of him. He didn't send any letters,making it suspicious if he really is still alive.

Hello, its Alex Garbrick from first period,I think the main characters are Bill Creighton, Bills wife Ellen and Jethro. Bill is trying to join the army. Bill wife, Ellen, Is always doing things around the house, like wives always did back then. Jethro is always with Bill, helping him with his work.

Hello,it's Shawn Shafer from 7th period,I think that the main character is Jethro because so far in the book the person telling the story has put Jethro in a lot of situations.In the first few chapters Jethro was introduced as a young child who was one of the most favorite children.He was the youngest of the children and he worked outside of the house with his mom.

I agree shawn, that he was the main character because he was the one talked about the most and your right, he was in all the important situations.- Alex Garbrick
