There is no remembrance from anybody about how they got there and who took them there. They are all trapped in one room with zombies called cranks trying to get in through the iron bar windows, screaming, “KILL ME, KILL ME.” (Pg. 9) Eventually Newt, the oldest boy in the group, breaks the knob off of the locked door in their room, leading to a dark room full of dead bodies.

    In 1776, David McCullough gives a vivid portrayal of the Continental Army from October 1775 through January 1777, with sharp focus on the leadership of America’s greatest hero, George Washington. McCullough’s thesis is that had not the right man (George Washington) been leading the Continental Army in 1776, the American Revolution would have resulted in a vastly different outcome. He supports his argument with a critical analysis of Washington’s leadership during the period from the Siege of Boston, through the disastrous defense of New York City, the desperate yet, well ordered retreat through New Jersey against overwhelming odds, and concludes with the inspiring victories of Trenton and Princeton. By keeping his army intact and persevering through 1776, Washington demonstrated to the British Army that the Continental Army was not simply a gang of rabble, but a viable fighting force. Additionally, Mr. McCullough supports his premise that the key to the survival of the American Revolution was not in the defense of Boston, New York City, or any other vital terrain, but rather the survival of the Continental Army itself. A masterful piece of history, 1776 is not a dry retelling of the Revolutionary War, but a compelling character study of George Washington, as well as his key lieutenants, and his British adversaries, the most powerful Army in the 18th Century world. When I read this book, I went from a casual understanding of the hero George Washington to a more specific understanding of why Washington was quite literally the exact right man at the exact right place and time to enable the birth of the United States.

    One main event that made this book feel real was when Keiko & Henry went to the Black Elks Club. This event was so insightful for how Japanese lived back in 1942. Keiko and Henry went to a bar to see their friend Sheldon, play his saxophone. While the band was in between sets Sheldon came to talk to Henry, who was practically his big brother, Sheldon told him he should head home as it was becoming dark. When leaving Keiko and Henry were stopped by the FBI and heard a gun being cocked. The FBI took them back into the club and the FBI started hand cuffing all Japanese. Keiko, being Japanese, stood there in awe, as she did not know what to do. After six patrons were arrested Keiko spoke, " 'What's going to happen to them?' Keiko asked, the sound of concern in her small voice. "They can get the death penalty if they're found guilty of treason, but they'll probably just spend a few years in a nice jail cell" (59 Ford). These innocent people were perceived to be spies just because of their ancestry. This event in the novel made it feel astonishingly realistic.

    ...acters, an unidentified apocalypse, and specks of detail, allowing readers to imagine a desolated setting on a blank canvas. Its two main characters, who symbolize the last strength for the human race, are forced onto a road that stretches to the coastal shores. The absent presence of everyday humans, plants, and wildlife generally fits the science fiction genre. Conversations between both father and son are limited to plain words that the child may only comprehend to. As a result, all responses produce disheartening lines of gloom and obscurity, though the child remains innocent during the days of darkness. He is also an icon of hope that the father holds onto, endlessly tending to the child’s living. Overall, this novel presents the terrible apocalypse in the modern times of before, to the aftermath between two characters who will soon meet their fate.
