Johnny Tremain
Johnny Tremain is a 14 year old boy who's a silversmith. He lived in Hancock wharf. He tells other people to do his work for him. One day, his friends got really irritated of Johnny bossing them around, so they gave Johnny a broken crucible. That crucible was Johnny's downfall, there was molten metal in the crucible, it poured all over his right hand. His hand was useless now. A midwife came over and tried to help Johnny, but it was no use. Then Johnny went looking for a new job. He tried to be a cleric, but his handwriting was terrible, so he didn't get the job. Then John Hancock gave Johnny a bag full of silver coins. Johnny used the money on food, drinks, crayons, drawing paper and a new pair of shoes. When miss Lapham saw Johnny's new shoes, she flew into a rage. Johnny then went to mr Lytes house, he accuses him of stealing a cup he sends Johnny prison. Johnny was found innocent, so he was released. Then Johnny met a young man named Rab, he gave Johnny a horse named Goblin. Johnny used Goblin to ride around town and deliver papers. Then the Boston tea party occurred, Johnny was a part of it. He chopper open boxes of tea and threw them into the harbor. Then came the bill, the fiddlers bill, the bill for all the tea that the sons of liberty threw into the harbor. Johnny went looking for his silver cup in a old house with Cilla. Johnny found his cup, only a silversmith would know which cup it is. General Gage sent spys out dressed as yankee men looking for work. All Johnny had to eat was bread and cheese. During a battle, Rab died, Johnny was devastated, but he always remembered Rab's last word's "A man can stand up".
