My Brther Sam is Dead By James Lincoln Collier

My Brother Sam is Dead

Author by James Lincoln Collier

Review by Logan Nunn

          Tim always looks up to his brother Sam. Sam is smart brave and thinks what’s best him and his country. When the Revolutionary War broke out in 1773-1781, between the British, and the Americans or the Continental Army, Sam ran to sign up for the Continental Army (Patriots). Sam comes home one day and says “We beat the British!”

          Everyone in the house look confuse. Then Sam’s farther says “What do you mean?”

          Sam responded “We beat the Red Coats at Concord”

          Farther yells “Don’t say that in this house!” since Sam’s farther is TORY or LOYAL to the British.

          Sam yells back “Do you think the king has the right to rule us when he three thousand miles across the Atlantic Ocean.”

          Tim just sat there; afraid his farther and Sam will get into a fist fight. Farther pounds the table and all the plates and silverware were bouncing on the table. Sam leaves the room and continues to fight for the Continental Army against the British. Tim trying to decide if he wants to fight with his brother or go against his brother. If he joins the Continental Army he will be against his farther. If he joins the British he will be against his brother.
