2. Genre The genre of this book is Realistic Fiction. It tells mostly true events that could have happened. During the time it took place in. Like it has a real event and date. but the characters aren’t real. Unless the have part of a real name but some of its not always true.

3. The Main Idea I think the main idea of the book is to show the reader that during the civil war people died people lived. Also that some people were forced into war. Sometimes they were lied on Because they were hated or something. (Like Harold Homers brother who’s uncle squint Lied on him.) Homer needs to find him so he tries hard and that may be the main idea.

But he also goes on a crew ship and he rides by horse to the woods. The book mostly takes place in the woods. Ora Quaker house rather than his home.

6. I think the author wrote this book to tell the events that acquired during the civil war. But it’s a realistic fiction book. So it has a purpose to show you events. That could have happened. To certain peoplebecause they could have been good people with a bad life but still were lied on. No one will know why they did it they just did probably. Author Purpose
