Response Question: Boston Tea Party (p. 139-214)
After the Boston Tea Party, Johnny says on p. 140, "This closing of the port of Boston was indeed tyranny; this was oppression; this was the last straw upon the back of many a moderate man." How is this statement an example of foreshadowing? What side of the growing conflict does Johnny seem to be taking?

The comment by Johnny is indeed foreshadowing. It tells us that some colonists(mostly the Whigs)are going to revolt against Britain so war must be on the horizon. Johnny appears to be taking the side of the Whigs in this conflict because they were the ones who wanted to free themselves from the tyranny and oppression.
Johnny was foreshadowing that there will be battle nearby between the British and colonists. Johnny was on the Whigs side, because they wanted to get away from cruelty.
