I would say that Paul Revere was brave because it said in the book that he led over 1000 soldiers into Canada to fight against the French and the Indians, and he also went around Lexington and woke up people in the middle of the night.

I think Paul Revere would be accomplished. I think that because at the start of the story he says there is a lot to do in Boston. He wants to accomplish everything there is to do. That is why I think he is an accomplished.

I think that Paul Revere was busy man because he constantly rode from Massachusetts to other colonies. After the famous Boston Tea Party, someone had to deliver the news to the other colonies. Paul was chosen and he did his job well. Also, when the British where coming, he ran from house to house knocking on their doors and alerting them. This is why I think Paul Revere was a busy man.

I think Paul Revere is brave because he warned everybody that the British soldiers were coming and had to get out. He also accomplished something not even i can ever do to elude sentries, Build bells, and warn the townspeople that The British are coming.

I think that Paul Revere was busy because he had to take care of children, he made teeth, he was an express rider from colony to colony and he was in the Secret Society of the Sons of Liberty. He also rang bells for extra money. Because of all of these things that Paul did, a good word to describe him is busy.

I would say he was brave and lucky because while he was carrying the chest filled with important papers gun were shooting out bullets. He just stayed calm and focused on the job without hesitating of looking at the shooter. If I was Paul Revere at that time I would of run screaming on the top of my lungs carrying the chest. I might even got shot. Paul Revere would might be the bravest and luckiest man I've ever heard of.

I believe that Paul was brave because he helped his fort.He was also very busy,because he had a lot of things to do and see.

I think that Paul Revere was a very busy person. He had to deliver many messages and had to take over the silversmith business when his father died. He also had to make many things such as watches, dentures, books and a lot of other stuff. I would also think that he was brave because he rode through other soldiers that captured him but still had the courage to escape and tell the truth.

I would call Paul Revere busy and smart, he has so much to do, but he just keeps adding more to his plate. He is also very smart because when he was carrying the chest of important papers, people were shooting but he didn't pay attention, he just focused on his job and stayed calm. I could never acheive that!! I would have freked and dropped the chest.

I think Paul Revere was a busy, energetic, brave, and accomplished person. He could never keep himself busy, so he got more jobs. Also, he was always moving. When he was a child, he would always see something such as a fistfight. Finally, he was very brave. He focused on his goals and did it right. Although sometimes his missions went poorly, everyone looked up to Paul Revere.

And then what happened???!!

Alvin said...

I think that the best word that describes Paul Revere is bust. He did many things during his life. He rung church bells during a moment's notice, and took over his Dad's silversmith shop at a young age. As he grew older, he went to a fort to protect it from Native Americans and English soldiers. When he came back, he whittled teeth out of hippopotamus tusks! He did many more things read the book to find out!!

I think Paul was a busy and accomplished person. He ran here and there with many soldiers who were trying to find him. Yet still he managed to warn everyone from Boston to Philadelphia. He had a job to do and nothing was going to be in his way. I could have never done this. In my opinion this is the busiest man you could ever find in Boston.

Ben said...

I think Paul Reverse is busy because he has to advertise false teeth. He also had to take over his fathers silversmith company.Every time there was a war he took his gun and went.

emily said...

I think that Paul Revere is accomplished because he has to do every job possible. I also think he is busy because he has accomplished all those jobs he wanted to do.

Caitlyn said...

I think the right word to describe Paul Revere is busy. In the story it says, "Of all the busy people in Boston, Paul Revere would turn out to be one of the busiest." I agree with Jean Fritz (the author of the book) that Paul Revere was very busy. He was uaually working and on top of that, he had 16 chlidren(but 5 of them died young) to take care of. So all in all I think Paul Revere was a very busy man.

I would think of Paul as brave. He had to sneak past the sentries and sometimes he got caught, but he never stopped being an express rider, and he managed to get the messages to the towns.

I think Paul Revere is brave, because he had to carry a trunk while guns were being shot, and he could have gotten killed. Also, he risked his life to warn Lexington and all other towns.(The Redcoats are coming!!!!!)

I think Paul Revere was the most busiest man in Boston. That man was always on the run like when he was working at the silversmith shop and throwing tea into the Boston harbor and many more things. The sad thing is that he never got to spend time with his wife and kids. As he grew older he went to a fort in lexington to warn them that the English Soldiers and the Native Americans were coming to attack them.

memorable is my word. Paul Revere did many things that helped Boston. He made church bells, was very important in the war, and had a book written after him. In the book they said Paul revere was the best express rider from Boston to Philadelphia. He warned everyone about the war and probably if he didn't do everything he did the war would've been a lot more complicated.

i think Paul Revere was a smart man because on his ride he rode into the mud and got the english officers stuck. I think Paul Revere accomplishes lots of things because he and his freinds accomplished a lot when they dumped the tea.

Kristine said...

I would say that he was brave for doing lots of stuff other people won't dare to do. The brave things he did was carry a chest through a war, he was sent to inform everybody, and he did much much more!

I think Paul revere was busy. He was busy because when he was only a teenager, he had to run His fathers shop by himself. He also rung the bell almost every day. Later in the book, it says that he became a dentist. He he had 3 jobs. And he was part of the sons of liberty club, which meant that he had to ride a horse for 11 days, telling people of the tea that was thrown away. Even in the book itself it says that he was busy.
