    For the Historical Book Report I decided to read April Morning by Howard Fast. This book takes place in the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Adam Cooper, one of the main characters, is a fifteen year old who lives with his family in Lexington, Massachusetts. He is oppressed ( as the book says) by his father, Moses Cooper, which means to keep someone in subservience and hardship. Not only does Adam get watched over , but his father questions whether or not his son is a man or not. This effects where and what he does. An example of this is when Adam wishes to attend a Township Committee meeting on April 18th , but he didn't go because his father didn't want him to. Since his father is very hard on him, he always relies on his Grandmother to make him feel better. Instead of going to the meeting, Adam goes to see his neighbor and second cousin, Ruth Simmons, she is the woman Adam can see marrying in the future, he loves her. When Moses got home from the meeting, Adam secretly listens in to his father telling his wife Sarah and Granny Cooper about news he heard at the meeting. He was talking about the British army potentially confronting us, so the colonial community is preparing. In Lexington, sometime after midnight the community is awakened with news that the British Army is on the march to Concord to take out munitions being stored by colonists for a possible rebellion. A muster, which is assemble troops, for inspection or in preparation for battle, is put together for the militia, and Adams signs up in the muster book and commit to the militia. Adams is very determined and set to go, for this reason Moses allows him to go and is right by him when he signs up.
