Mikail’s Reviews > Saint José: Boy Cristero Martyr > Status Update

The climax in my book is when the Christeros let Jose and Trino join their army. Christeros only let them be martyrs because they were still too young to hold a gun. They were so excited about the news. The boys ran back to their camp to write each of their parents a letter letting them know that they would now be serving along the Christeros. This was all Jose and Trino ever dreamed about.

The supporting character in my book is Jose's best friend Trino. Every time Jose is scared or worried do something Trino always cheers him up. One time the friends were getting ready to go to Cristero's camp but Jose was so frightened that they wouldn't make it he almost didn't go. Trino encouraged his friend to go with him and they both made it into the Cristero's. Trino is such an awesome and loyal friend.

One connection I made from the book to myself is when Jose was walking to the dining table with his dinner, he had tripped and made a huge mess. This has also happened to me at my grandma's house. She had just made me a plate of food and when I went to go sit down I tripped over their dog and my tacos dropped everywhere. I connect with my character because we both are young teens and at times we can be clumsy.

Jose Sanchez, the main character in my book is a brave boy. For example, he is trying to join an army to fight for his religious rights. Unfortunately, he is too young to be a soldier so he will be a martyr until he is 16. He is very impulsive too, he does chores for no reason, and he plays a lot.

The antagonist in this story is that Jose can't join the Cristeros. The Cristeros is a regiment that fights against the government for religious rights, this is why Jose wants to join them. Jose wants to fight for God. Even if he does something so little such as holding water and ammo.

The genre of my book is a biography. I know this because the author is writing about a boy's life when he was younger. The author wrote about this brave boy, Jose Cristero, and how he was brave enough to go into war and represent his country by holding up the Mexican flag.
