__Story Plot__

**Exposition:** Boston, 1775. There is a small family that mainly provides for themselves. The main character, Tora, is a farmer girl that just ants the war to end. **Rising Action**: Her older brother Samuel goes away to war. So the only way that they can communicate are letters that come back and forth between them. **Crisis:** Sam’s letters start to not be sent as often. **Climax:** Tora’s family gets a letter stating that Sam was lost in battle but Tora doesn’t believe it. **Falling Action:** Tora keeps writing letters to Sam. **Dénouement:** One day there was a tall figure in front of their home and when they came to greet this stranger it was Sam. **Theme:** I want the reader to know what it was like during war.
