April_Morning

April Morning Adam Cooper started out as a fifteen-year-old boy, but became a fifteen-year-old man. In the beginning, Adam could not get along with his father, Moses Cooper, and truly believed that his father hated him. Moses was always getting on to Adam for everything he did. In Moses’ eyes his boy could do better than he let on if he would only apply himself a little bit more. “There was nothing that a Cooper man couldn’t do.” Moses was a large man who could argue his way out of anything, his reputation for argumentation was known throughout the entire area. He held very strongly to his views and would not budge for anything, except perhaps his mother Goody Cooper. Because of Moses’ gift of gab he was a member of the Lexington Committee. On the night of Moses’ committee meeting Adam asked if he could go with to the meetinghouse with his father. Moses told him that the day he started acting and thinking like a man then Adam could go. So instead of going to the meeting with his father Adam met his cousin Ruth Simmons. Ruth also happened to be Adam’s best friend and love interest, and since they adam, moses, man, british, lexington, home, go, father, told, out, men, way, redcoats, night, mother, moses’, militia, cooper, committee, because, adam’s, very, solomon, sarah, ran, made, just, house, going, firing, after, about, while, troops, time, simmons, seen, ruth, road, met, meeting, levi, left, heard, felt, everyone, dead, cousin, boy, been, back
