Chapter #1 “Dawn is Dangerous”

1.In chapter one peter and his friends and family go to destroy Sir Phillip's rock wall. They sent Peter to keep watch, but he wanted to stay close enough to hear all there jokes, so he did pay very good attention to the road and it was getting close to dawn. He then noticed people flying toward them on horses, so Peter went and hid behind a rock and when a man on a horse ran by he throw a rock at him. It mist, but the man shot back, the bullet just missing Peter's head. So close that it knocked his hat off his head.

3.The setting of this chapter is in the small village of Cumberland. It seems to be a fairly happy town other then Sir Phillip.

4.An example of conflict is between the people of Cumberland and Sir Phillips. They didn't like him because of the way he tried to control the town.

5.A time in this chapter that brought suspense to the readers was when Peter was talking about hoe dawn is the most dangerous time of the day, because you got thinking about what was going to happen next.

6. a) England's enemies at this time were Scotland, and Spain.
b) Every one that rented land from the crown was reasonably safe, but for the people that had rented there land from Sir Phillip were paying insanely high rent.
