War comes to Willy Freeman:Questions and Answers
Question: What does freedom means to Willy?
Answer: To Willy freedom ment to to be argumentative and you can't be like that if your not free be she was free, so basicly to really know that she was free she became augmentative. In the story she say's "It had something to do with the argumentative way I was sometimes. I'd got it figured out that being argumentative was the same as being free. I mean, if somebody could boss you around, you wasn't free, and that's why I was argumentative, because there was always somebody trying to boss me around. I hated having somebody else over me, and I mean the whole war, that had got my Ma and Pa killed, was just to keep the British from over the Americans. And I could see that people had a mighty strong feeling for being free, if they was willing to risk being shot for it. So that was why I wanted to go down to New York. There was more of a chance of doing what I wanted to do there."
Question: Which character in the book is most heroic and why?
Answer: I think Jack Arabus, because he help Willy and his family. When he hit Captain Ivers he saved Willy. If he didn't do any thing either Willy would have been dead of sold off to the west Indies and, he knew he didn't want Willy to go through that and he knew Willy didn't want that. He saved someone life and I think that is heroic. And now he is trying to set his family free.

War comes to Willy Freeman:Questions and Answers
Question from chapter 9: Explain Horace notion other people. What does this tell you about Horace?
Answer: One example that that I can give is when Willy was going to Canvas Town Horace wanted to go to with her because he heard that people have been killed there and very badly hurt. Fight each other all the time and he didn't want her to go there by her self.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Question from chapter 10-11: What conclusion does Willy come to after not finding her mother among the prisoners?
Answer: The conclusion Willy came to was that her mother was dead. In the story she said "It tied up, and unloaded the prisoners. I didn't see ma anywhere among them. The prisoners come onto the dock and went slowly off to town; and then the British officers went off, and finally I was standing there on the dock alone, with the night coming down around me, and I put my hands over my face and began to cry, with my shoulders shaking and the tears leaking out through my fingers. I'd waited two years for the war to be over so I could find her. Wasn't I ever going to see my Ma?
Finally I got myself to stop crying and walked back to the tavern. Horace and the cooks, they saw how I looked and didn't say much, but left me alone, and I lay there on my back, staring up through the dark, trying to remember what Ma looked like. But I couldn't-I couldn't get a picture of her. All I could do was forget about her. I wouldn't never see her again. She was gone-dead of taken back to England, of sold off to the west Indies. Dead, most likely, I figured, for so many of them had died on those prison ships; but whatever had happened to her, I knew I wouldn't never see her no more, so the best thing I could do was forget about her. I was on my own now. It didn't matter how old I was-I was a grown-up now, and had to look out for myself."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Question from chapter 12: Why does Willy decide to return to Iverses' after the violent episode involving Jack Arabus and captain Ivers?
Answer: It was because she had gotten her Uncle Jack into big trouble. And because she didn't want to to have Dan and her Aunt Betsy bury her Ma by there self. In the story she said " I pushed on through and after a while the woods ended and I came to a field. I crouched there and studied it. There was a barn in the middle of the field. I'd have to make a dash for it. I figured I'd be all right, because the falling snow would make me hard to see.
And then all at once it came to me that Aunt Betsy and Dan was going to have to go out into that snow all by themselves and bury Ma. She was my Ma, and I'd left somebody else to do for her. And on top of it all, I'd got Uncle Jack into into a heap of trouble, and here I was just running off and leaving them all to get out of it as best as they could. It was wrong, and I knew it." And then after that she decide to go back and help.

Dear famliy,
I've been living in Groton And it is hard to live here. With the war in all I've been so scared and mad. I'm mad because I think ever body should just get a long that can be a good revolution instead of a so called "Revolutionary war". I wish ever thing will be good but I see I have to come back down to earth. I hope to get out of gorton or should I say Gore town (some people called it that) and see you all soon.
love,
Khristinate
War comes to Willy Freeman: Question and Answer
Question: Willy wants to send a letter to her Aunt Betsy. Why is this risky?
Answer: I think this isrisky because her Aunt Betsy is still a slave.Willy might be put back in slaver. I think since her Aunt is still a slave that her slave master will get her mail first and read it.
If Captain Ivers knows where she had gone hemight try and get her and say something "She lied , I'm her slave master." And since she doesn't have the papers to prove she's not a slave (Because she lift the papers in her home thats far where she is.). She'll just be a slave again.
Her Aunt Betsy won't be able to help her because Captain Ivers won't allow her and her Uncle Jack won't be able to help either. And if Captain Ivers trys to come for her she won't be able to know and she really doesn't have any where else to get away from him.
Captain Ivers might come and take her away and then she won't be able to really look around new york , to find her mother. If she never finds her mom she basicly will be mother less. And might knowing that she won't see her mom again will break her heart.
So sending her Aunt a letter won't , to me work out so well. She'll end up being in a troubled spot (By troubled spot I mean being a salve again.). Willy being a slave again she might live her life in angry because she hated being a slave.
