 ** Throughout the book there were many parts that had some key points such as the battles, the travel to Texas the conflicts, but our favorite part is not one of strife it's one of happiness and shows how helpful people can be. I think that it was a really good part off the book, because it wasn't bloody, violent or showed much anything bad. The part I'm talking about is the building of the cabins and the renurishing and reinvigorating the farms and gardens. It was a really good part because it shows that even after everything they went through they still are looking forward to helping one another. They first went to everyones burned out cabins and replanted and revived all the gardens and farms. after which they went to the Provost's house and rebuilt it this log cabin was bigger and better for their large family. They built it piece by piece, it took a while but after a while they completed it and celebrated a job well done. It really showed to me that even if you hate someone or dislike them, you should still get along for the betterment of those close to you or just for the benefit of the person. The Provosts' cabin I think symbolized the rebuilding of all Texas and that it was slow hard work for everyone and it also symbolized hope and friendship, because everyone was working together to build cabins and they may have been some of the first people to rebuild their cabins and it provided hope for others who were coming back. The Provost's had a double-cabin that was made specially for their large family, and then they made Josh a similarlly sized cabin for him and Maria, and even though they didn't get married in the end, the book did hint that Josh started a relationship with Heather Winslow. I think a cabin back then symbolized stability, which was good since this was just after the Runaway Scrape and everyone was still kind of shaken up about the recent war, so the fact that they built a cabin in about three weeks I believe it said, was pretty good for the circumstances. It was my favorite part of the book because it showed me that no matter what there's still hope. **     ====== ==    <span style="font-size: 120%; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: #1d1ed3;"><span style="display: block; font-size: 120%; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: #2632d9; text-align: left;">Another good part was the Battle of Goliad, even though it was a massacre it was still a good part. I, Colt, liked it because it showed that even outnumbered and against all odds and chances the Texans held their own against an incredible Mexican force and even if they were captured and held, and after that they were even massacred. Few survived but in the book Joshua Buckalew did thanks to his brother Thomas taking a bullet for him. It proved that the Texans would never stop trying and would not back down. This part was a very sad one and rather unfair part, but it was a good one none-the-less. Fannin was the leading officer at Goliad and nowadays you are to follow your supiriors orders, but Fannin asked his men at every key point what they wanted to do he didn't order them around like a mean-boss. If I ever am in the army I would love to have someone like him as my commonding officer. This particular part I think symbolized the braveness, willingness, and overall strive to show their strength and power. As previously stated in the book it had a major affect on the Texans who weren't or were fightintg for Sam Houston. It added to their fury and ferociusness at the Battle of San Jacinto for those who were fighting, and those who joined shortly or before the Battle of San Jacinto but after the Massacre at Goliad were influenced to do so by this tragic loss of lives, friends, and family. Those who died died for their freedom and for their family's freedom, and that means alot to me. These people who fought in these battles made our state free, so don't laugh when you watch the Alamo, or another Texas Revolution movie they died for us. == === <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> <span style="font-size: 120%; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: #483bab;"> <span style="font-size: 80%; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: #2d3ac8;"><span style="font-size: 80%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-size: 120%; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: #2f37e4;"><span style="font-size: 120%; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: #1d1ed3;"><span style="display: block; font-size: 120%; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: #2632d9; text-align: left;">           === == <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> <span style="font-size: 80%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-size: 120%; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: #2f37e4;"><span style="font-size: 120%; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: #1d1ed3;"><span style="display: block; font-size: 120%; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: #2632d9; text-align: left;">        == <span style="font-size: 120%; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: #2f37e4;">

The Battle of the Alamo wasn't one that any main character except for Jared Pounce and he was kind of minor. Even though no one really gave an account of the Alamo in the book it was still a good battle. It was one that led to our ferociousness at the Battle of San Jacinto. It was a battle we lost but in a way we still won it in sprit. The Mexicans won the battle, but we still had more spirit, and courage than most of them. =====
