John Adams by David McCullough

The U.S summer reading for me was John Adams by David McCullough. I didn't really read the whole book but the parts that i did read was very interesting. It was a biography about John Adams. It was very factual and educational. It was telling the story of John Adams to when he grew up into a man, the things he accomplish, the phases he went through such as when he started to have strange feelings towards women, and also the everydays thing he done like writing in his diary. He manage to get things done even in that time of sickness and the percentage of deaths was increasing.

John Adams accompolished alot in his life. He went to Harvard when he was just about 15 years old. That was the day he was considered a man.He worked hard and did very well in Harvard. The subjects that he favored was mathematics and science.He wanted to become a farmer just lke his father. His father wanted him to become a minister. John had the opportunity to do better and went off to study law and became a lawyer and a minister. He met and married Abigail Smith Adams and was a father of four childern. Everyone enjoyed his company for he was a good, hardworking man who always spoke the truth.

John was away from home most of the time in the book. Abigail and John would write letters to each other to inform one another about financial issues, politics, family, and even comfort. While Abigail is at home dealing with the death of her family, John would tell her to always be prepared for anything good or bad but to expect the unexpected. John and the goverment did all that they can do for the citizens in the town, to help fullfill their main concern.At that time it was a difficult moment with dealing all the sickness that was going around.
