Chapter 6: A Familiar Face

Think about this: you live near the site, your family lives and farms on land close by, and several of your family members have been killed in other battles. Do you think that you would be able to take the place of one of the soldiers knowing that you may be killed in the battle that is going to take place? Why or why not? (There are NO wrong answers with this post!)

PREDICT:
How do you think the relationship between Miss Leota and Benjy will change in the coming chapters? Why?
