Chapter 1 & 2 Response

"I felt rather pleased when he said that, about "the fewer who know the better." Though I was only fourteen, I had been counted in with the men. They could say that they liked, but there was a certain amount of danger. Sir Phillip was a bad enemy to croos, though up to that time none of us knew just how bad an enemy he could be"
(p.15)
When I read this I knew that the fight with Sir Phillip was not going to be over with them knocking over the walls. I knew that Sir Phillip would find out who knocked it over when Peter said that "up to that time none of us knew just how bad an enemy he could be", this was a foreshadow of what would happen in the story. This also shows that the narrator is saying this after everything happens.
""You don't know the law," my father said grimly. "No, they mustn't get hold of him now, while Sir Phillip's in his mad mood. Besides, we owe it to our neighbors to get him away. If the court lays hands on him, they'll question him about his companions at the time" (p.30)
This part of the story the plot thickens. Peter is now faced with the decision to run away or to be tortured and thrown into jail. Peter chooses to run away but that still leaves consequences in his part. He will have to suffer from hunger and always be on alert for Sir Phillips or any of his men.
