The Boy Who Dared

   In  The Boy who Dared, the author Susan Campbell Bartoletti captures my attention by putting a flash forward in the beginning. She opens a little window of curiosity in my mind. The one sentence that grabbed my attention was, "The executioner works on Tuesday." (pg.3). This quote means that he might have been sentenced to death or he is in the death row. Also after this quote it says, "Helmuth is three." (pg.4). I inferred that the my first quote was giving me a sneak peak of what was going to happen to him in the end of the book.
