In the book, Johnny Tremain, Johnny is mean to Dove and Dusty, the two other boys that are apprenticed with him, insulting them and bossing them around. Cilla and Isannah like to insult him and watch his face turn red, at which they would then start squealing and hopping and chanting, “Johnny’s mad, Johnny’s mad!” Johnny is apprenticed to a Silversmith in the city of Boston. Mr. Hancock comes in one day and says that he wants a silver sugar basin made. “A clumsy maid” melted the original. Johnny is all worried to get the handle perfect because he wants to impress Mr. Hancock. When he finally gets the handle right and is about to begin making the sugar basin, he asks Mrs. Lapham, who asks Dove to get a crucible so he can start melting the silver in to the mold. Dove hands him an old cracked one, after it had been on the furnace for a while, the crucible started to settle, collapse, and sliver began to run the top of the funace. Johnny leapt toward it and somehow he slipped, and his outstretched arm came down on top of the furnace. That is how Johnny’s hand became crippled. Soon, Mr. Lapham fires Johnny as an apprentice, because no boy with a crippled hand can ever handle silver properly. So Johnny goes around to shops looking for a job, though no one wants a boy who is crippled. One day, Johnny sleeps outside by his Mother’s grave, and that following morning comes up with the plan to go to Mr. Hancock’s house with his cup to regain his family, or something like that.

P.S.- Is this what we were supposed to do?
Johnny Tremain is a boy who lives near a wharf in Boston Mass, who is apprenticed to be a silversmith. He lives with a family named the Laphams. One day, a man named Mr. Hancock came to their shop to get a special handle made from silver. Johnny gets very excited and wants to make a perfect handle, and also gets more strict in the process. He becomes very mean to Dove and Dusty, and don't even talk to Cilla and Isannah. Once Johnny manages to get the perfect model for the handle, he goes to make it... during a church service. Since this is illegal, Dove wants to teach Johnny a lesson. So when Johnny asks Dove to get him a crucible, Dove gets a cracked one, so it will fall apart when it gets heated up. When the silver gets heated up, the crucible does fall apart, but Johnny lunges for it, and in that process, gets his hand covered in hot silver. After that happened, he got a crippled hand, and was no longer a good silversmith. Eventually, it is decided that Johnny isn't good for even doing other chores around the house. So Mr. Lapham fires him, and Johnny is forced to find another job on the wharf. After searching for multiple jobs to be apprenticed in, he decides he wants to work for merchant John Lyte (which happens to be Johnny's name). He asks the merchant, and, after completing multiple tests, fails the last one miserably, so he is rejected by John Lyte. That night, Johnny spends the night by his mother's grave. When he is about to fall asleep, he decides he will bring his cup to the merchant, to show he is family.
In Johny Tremain, Johny worked as an apprentice for a silversmith. He was very good at what he did and so he was expected to marry Cilla one of the daughters of his master. The one thing he hated about his ob was having to work with Dove and Dusty because they were stupid and didn't know how to do anything. His master tells him all the time to have less pride and be nicer to Dove and Dusty. One day John Hancock came to the shop to have Johny's master make him a silver sugar basin that had been damaged. The mastress said yes and they went to work. The mastress wanted the silver sugar basin done on time so she and Johnny decided to skip sabeth and work on the basin. They could go to jail for skipping sabeth so they had to be very careful. Before this Johny had yelled at Dove and Dusty and called them stupid and worthless. When he was working on the basin Dove handed him a tool that had a crack in it. Johny ended up with his hand with silver and his thumb stuck tohis hand. He couldn't move his thumb. Now, he was the useless one. He went out to look for another job that didn't involve his thumb and ended up in big trouble. His master and mastress did not care for him anymore he felt he had no other choice but to go visit his relative Lyte for help.

P.S. Did Sveta and I do this right because I couldn't find the actual assignment anywhere?

Johnny Tremain is a hardworking and promising silver smith who lives in bosten. Until one day dove gets him the cracked crucible and then the crucible collapsed. Suddenly the silver burned Johnny’s hand and now he can’t silver smith. (Dove hates Johnny because he is smug and is a better silversmith than dove will ever be) Early in the book Johnny was told by Mr. L to stop being so smug or god would get ticked off and then this happened. With his crippled hand Johnny tries to find work but he can’t. all that he finds is a friend working in a printer shop who he later relies on for food. It gets to the point where he thinks god has turned on him. When this happens he then goes to his dead moms grave. She told him that when he has hit rock bottom and even god has turned away he is supposed to go to Mr. Lyte (a relative…. Maybe) with his cup. It’s a cup that runs in the Lyte family that says let there be Lyte. And this is where the reading ends
Ps: I don’t know if this is the right place to put it so sorry if it isn’t
Johnyy Tremain lives in Boston Mass. and is apprenticed to a silversmith. His mother is dead, and before she died she gave him a silver cup with the Lyte crest on it. Merchant Lyte is one of the richest men in massechusettes and johnny thinks they are probagbly related. Well, one day he was making handles out of silver and Dove and Dusty the two other apprentices who Johnny bosses around, give him a cracked crucible and Johny spills the molten silver all over the furnace. He reaches out and trips, his hand landing on the molton silver. his hand was so burned that he is now crippled. Well now that he can't be a silversmith he looks for other jobs but no one will hire him because of his hand. When he is laying in a graveyard contemplating things he decides to go to Merchant Lyte and show him the cup, hoping that the MErchant will allow him into the family.
