Huge Changes

Auhtors Note: This is a character development piece on the main charecter of the book "Woods Runner" to work on my goal of getting a ten.

Going from a provider to a savior may not seem like all that much, but for Samuel he never saw it coming and was changed and formed completely. Samuel is a innocent boy with little worry, but just to hunt and feed his family and other families he helps out, but when the task changes Samuel also changes greatly.

When death comes into a young man’s mind it can mold him and he can take either of two ways he can change for the better becoming a great man or can take the easy route and use death as an excuse for everything. The thought of death pushed Samuel to go on a great journey, death pushed Ty Lewis to become great at the things he does, and keep pushing on. Without Samuel his parents would have died because Samuel was a hunter and knew the woods and had to get all the food for his family. He affects his entire village because he’s only thirteen and is the main provider for his family.

Sam is a natural hunter, but is not used to a man hunt, he has to go after his parents and survive in the woods. This molds Samuel to learn more about man and their tendencies and the knowledge of the woods allows him to do that. Samuel changes greatly because he gains so much more knowledge from people he has met and people that have helped him.

Samuel gets helped by many people, but there is one in particular that changes him the most. The narrator even states that "Sam Can't believe how much his life changed". Annie a little girl and her family he came across that fed him and offered him knowledge of how the Brits were that captured his parents. Hessians come and kill the little girl’s parents and now he has to take care of the little girl. Without Samuel Annie would have died a long hard death of starvation. By now Samuel had went from a hunter to a care taker, man hunter, and savior. Without Samuel’s maturity growing with all his responsibilities others would have died.

To conclude on Samuel went form a hunter to a caretaker, man hunter, and savior in just a few months. There is a part in the book the narrator explains the Samuel was amazed by how much his life had changed when he had just ate dinner with a nice family and within two hours he had a little girl to take care of and a family he just met had died. Samuel goes through huge changes and take the higher route and changes for the better.
