Peter’s Point of View

I am writing this to show the point of view's in the book of John Treegate's Musket.In the story of “John Treegate’s Musket” there are many points of views in the story about quite a few different subjects. Most in which the point of views come from the main character Peter. Peter is the son of John Treegate. His father is going to England so for now Peter is under the apprenticeship to Mr. Tom Fielding. At this time in the book the red coats had invaded Boston and the people are getting really upset about it.
Just a couple chapters in the story Peter is coming back from errand for Mr. Fielding when a boy runs past him and yells at him to run. After that the boy runs out of site. Peter thought that pot wallopers were coming so he takes off until he is grabbed and restrained by a red coat. It had appeared that the boy who was saying run had thrown a snowball with ice at the red coat and he was most certainly not happy. “Snowball the captain, would you? I teach you some respect of authority” After that Peter gets a backhand to the face by the red coat and is on the ground. He tries to get up but the red coat keeps knocking him down. About then is where a crowd starts to gather along and a riot breaks out. Quite a few men died from the incident.
There were a couple different points of view when this happened from a couple different people. As for Peter, this was not his fault; however in other parts of the book he explains why he feels the people dying was his fault. He felt really bad about everything. But he did not do anything he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Then there is the point of view of the redcoats. For all they know the boy who was throwing snowballs at them is Peter. But actually the boy who really was throwing them somewhat framed Peter because he really made it look like it was Peters fault. The redcoat started beating up Peter when the riot started. And to the redcoat he was just trying to teach this kid some respect for authority, even if he got the wrong kid.
When the crowd started forming and they saw what was happening, a riot started to break out. Peter said that he did not do anything wrong, which got the people really mad saying things like… “Pushing our lads around now?” and “Blasted bullies”. But as far as the crowd thought the redcoat was beating Peter up for no specific reason even though he was.
Those are the point of views of the people that were involved in this incident that took the lives of a couple men. To the redcoat he was trying to teach this kid a lesson. To the riot of people the redcoat was beating up this kid for no reason. And lastly to Peter he thinks everything his fault for the deaths of a couple men even though he did not do anything wrong
