1112+Boston+Jane

= =  //__Boston Jane __// //__By: Esmeralda Mendez __// In this book your feelings change a lot. The author Jennifer l. Holm is the author of the Newbery Honor Book //Our Only May Amelia//. Boston Jane is an adventure. This book can teach you some history.

The plot is high-quality to me because I can’t believe she would give up precise things like her corset and her wedding dress. The reason she gave that up is because she was getting things for Mr. Russell’s house. Mr. Russell got a new house on Shoalwater Bay. His house was dusty so she went to Suis (an Indian trader) and traded her bonnet, gloves, button and a linen sheet.

The theme is if something superior to be true then you shouldn’t trust it even if you trusted it before. It is good to me because Janey learned that in the story. She trusted William when he asked her to marry her. So she went from Philadelphia to Shoalwater Bay, but when she got there he wasn’t there. Mr. Swan said that he had to do something for the governor. This is where the sad part comes. He really went to get married, the governor said if he is married then he gets 640 acres of land and if unmarried he gets half-320.

The setting is in the past from 1849-1853. When Indians and white people traded things. Jane traded a lot that belongs to her to help clean up Mr. Russell’s house. She got mats so the dust stays down.

The author explained the characters incredibly well. When she explained Janey I felt like I can see her. When I am able to see people in my head I am able to explain them. Jane has red hair and white skin she is the only kid her papa has. Her mom died giving birth to her. Sally her enemy tries to make her always feel bad. Jane says that sally is different from her. One day Janey and Jebediah were throwing rotten apples at a tree by accident Janey hit Sally. Janey got in trouble and that is where her bad luck starts. The language she used was fine to me. Instead of using the curse words she used the word “blast. “She used when she said “shoot that blasting beast” and “that blasted beast ate all my dresses.

As you can see, it did say something about history. If you don’t believe me read for yourself.
