                                                Mr. Lorne                                        Nick Hough
                                                                                                                    10/24/94                                     

     After reading the book Johnny Tremain, How would you describe Mr. Lorne? You 

would probably say that he is a friendly man that helps out other people. He runs a 

newspaper, called the Boston Observer , in the colony of Massachusetts where he lives. 

The newspaper is well known and popular in the colony. Mr. Lorne is a fine looking man 

who is liked throughout the colony. 

     When Johnny Tremain's hand was burned, and he couldn't find a job anywhere else, 

Mr. Lorne hired him at the Boston Observer. Mr. Lorne didn't care that his hand was 

burned. He let Johnny ride one of his horses and deliver the newspapers. Mr. Lorne is a 

helpful person when other people need help for one reason or another. He is caring and 

friendly, and has many talents that make him successful in life.

     Mr. Lorne works and owns a newspaper called the Boston Observer. The newspaper is 

well known around Boston and has a good reputation. He makes a good living off the 

profitable newspaper. Mr. Lorne is a Whig, which means he doesn't like the king, and 

wants to be free from Great Britain. The Whigs meet regularly at the Boston Observer to 

discuss plans to make America a free country. He is respected by the people of Boston 

and is a popular citizen.

     If you saw Mr. Lorne in person, you could describe him in many different ways. You 

would notice that he is very handsome . He is not rich, but makes a good living, so he 

dresses like any other middle class person in Boston. His blue eyes match almost
perfectly 

with his dark blond hair. All of these traits make him a fine looking man.                                             

     Since he is such a well liked and skilled person it is hard to name all of his qualities.
His 

blue eyes and blond hair make him a handsome man. It is a wonder why he isn't married. 

He owns his own newspaper because he is a skilled hard worker. If you knew him well, 

you would say that he is one of the most caring and friendly person you will probably
meet 

in a long time.
