I missed a few things when I read the first time that I caught while reading the second time. When I first read it I didn’t quite understand why they had to shoot Bonaparte and Noble. But as I read the second time, it was because they had 4 of their men shot and one of them was a 16 year old boy. (12) I also missed that Belcher would do stuff for this woman when he was twice as strong as she was. But I found out that it was because he liked her. It’s what my understanding of that part of the story had concluded to. (9) I also didn’t get why they were keeping them until I read it twice. I found out it was because their men had English hostages and they were the hostages the English took in retaliation. (11) I didn’t get why they shot Hawkins instead of the men they were supposed to be shooting. After I read it a second time I think it was because he would have snitched on them and then they all would have been shot and killed at the expense of not killing their enemy’s men.  (15)
