Character Analysis: An Enemy Among Them
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in the Revolutionary Era and go into war? Such a story happens to Christian Holitor and Margaret Volpert in, An Enemy Among Them, by Deborah DeFord and Harry Stout. There are most likely other stories like this, but this one is different because Christian is a prisoner of war who goes to live with the Volperts. An Enemy Among Them takes place in Reading, Pennsylvania in December of 1776. It starts off on the British ship, Mermaid, but progresses into Reading.

Margaret gets one of her father's friends, George Scheffer, asking if he could help her find Christian. When they come close to finding Christian, George gets mad at Margaret for kicking his horse hard making her fall off. But as he was lecturing Margaret, Christian finds him and makes George go away. They soon come across British soldiers. He asks them to lead him to the general, but they couldn't understand what he was saying. The British make them go to the British prison, but Margaret escapes. When she finds her brother, Jacob, he helps them and they eventually go home. Another part I like is where they first meet. Christian was in the hospital after he got badly wounded out in the battlefield. Margaret was helping the other hurt men, then she went over to help him. When Christian woke, other men where harassing how he was a Hessian soldier and how he does not belong there. She sticks up for him, then the men stopped pestering him. Once he gets better, Margaret's father offers Christian to stay at their home and work at his cobbler
