Chapter Four Plot

• Peter and Kate two ordinary kids from England
  meet by chance, not knowing that an incredible
  adventure awaits them. A visit to Kates fathers
  lab ended with them falling into the clutches of
  a so called anti-gravity machine. Somehow they
  activate it, and travel back in time to 1763.
  Gideon Seymour, cutpurse and gentleman, who had
  troubled childhood, watches with awe as the two
  children and the odd machine appear out of
  nowhere. Someone else sees it too--a villain
  nicknamed the Tar Man. Before Kate and Peter
  realize what has happened to them, the Tar Man
  made off with the device--taking with him their
  only way home. Fortunately, Gideon comes to help
  the young travelers after the Tar Man stole all
  their interesting 21st century items. With
  Gideons help, Kate and Peter might be able to
  find the machine again...but first they must
  survive being plunged into the 18th century, with
  all its funny smells, strange foods, and, most
  alarmingly, its terrible highwaymen...Kate and
  Peter slowly overcome the shock, although they
  want to return to their century badly. But Gideon
  has his own problems. He is on the run from his
  previous shady life--and the ruthless Tar Man is
  after him, determined to bring him back into the
  past he wants to forget.

Chapter five Mood
I think the mood of my story is
curious/dangerous. Curious like an odd mood. One
instance of this mood is Lord Luxon eyed him
with such distaste and thought of his cedar wood
chests in 1763, specially imported from Italy,
and the layers of exquisite silks they
containedAlthough the current fashion for body
piercing, tattoos, and hair dyes in the wildest
of colors was tempting - indeed, it might be
amusing to have his navel pierced and a ruby, or
perhaps a diamond or two inserted. Another
instance of the mood is Faith! He could even
have his own coat of arms tattooed on his
shoulder! How deliciously unseemly! Lord Luxon
looked around him, still smiling. What a
transformation this new millennium had worked on
him. Little wonder, he thought, that the Tar Man,
his errant henchman, had become so attached to
this age of wonders. A third instance of the
mood is The Tar Man retrieved his throbbing
hand and pulled both of Kates arms behind her
back. The Tar Man dragged Kate backwards into the
fortune-tellers tent. The woman, still shaken
from her sighting of Kate earlier, was sitting at
a small table and drinking gin from a pewter mug.
She looked up unexpectantly, composing her face
into a pleasant smile for her latest customer.
The smile withered on her face. Ill thank you
to hold your tongue, madam, He said holding the
struggling Kate in one hand and a knife to the
womans throat with the other.

Chapter six Theme and resolution
I think the theme was a destiny between two
different walks of life, a boy and a girl,
meeting each other and becoming friends. Than a
turn for the worst when a accidental time
traveling mishap strands them in 1763, meeting
Gideon. Then in the next two books it has to deal
with them stopping Lord Luxon from killing George
Washington the night he stood in the boat to
cross Delaware river. But Lord Luxon did still
kill him. There was no resolution since this was
a trilogy series.
