The Muster Signing

In the novel “April Morning,” Young Adam Cooper is Father’s respect and love, to prove that he is not worthless. Adam tries to have his father at least like him, but can never succeed. He is forced to do things and live his life without his father’s approval and sometimes without hid father knowing. Then in one attempt to show his father that he is worth something, he signs the muster to be a part of the militia and fight the on oncoming British army. This act will turn to be a fight for his life and is undoubtedly the climax to the novel.
The Climax of this story is definitely, where the word comes out that the British are coming and Adam signs up to be a militiaman. He will be training to use a musket to kill a real person. Rather than shooting pigeons which he did with his old musket. He will have more respect from his father now that he said; “Yesterday he was a boy, tonight he’s not.” Just about, everything about the book has changed because of Adam signing the book. Adam signed the book caused by the events of his father neglecting him.
The events that caused Adam to sign and show is father that he is not worthless are that his father birched him, which he was too old for. In addition, that he wanted to go to the committee meeting but was turned down by his father for not being man enough. Even though we was only a few months away from sixteen. He signed the muster partly so he could show his father that he was a man.
