After the British ship Active, surrendered, James Forten had "mixed feelings" about the victory. Why? Describe the feelings he may have had and use a "quote" from the story to support your response.
I think the feelings James had were different for different reasons. One feeling he had was happy that they won and didnt have to be sold into salvery. Also he was sad because all the people he killed. " The missing crew was replaced."
I think he would have been realy excited for his first victory. He felt bad also because alot of them got hurt and most of them died. His mother would have been happy that he did not die." the sailors whith the worst wounds were saent off to be cared for".
The feelings that James Forten was happy because he didn't get put up for slavery.He also probly felt scared because he might have thought that they would change their mind and put him into slavery.He felt happy because for one of the battles and didnt surrender
I think that some of the feelings that James forten had or might of had is sadness, excitment, and lack of spirit. I think he had lack of spirt and sadness was because they still were out numbered. I think he was excited because that he had taken their ship and was really happy." The crowd on the dock cheered wildly as they recongnized the American flag on the Royal Louis."
James was sad, shocked,and glad that the british ship surredered to the active because some of his freinds were hurt,woned, and some killed. He was shocked because one wrong move and they all could have died agenst the british but luckly he lived. James was also glad because he lived and he could continue his life as a sailor. "James had mixed feelings as he saw many of his comrades wounded, some mortaly."
James had mixed feelings when they captured the ship Active because he was happy that they won. But he was sad because a lot of his friends got hurt in the process. And some of them got terribily hurt or died too. =( "On board the victorious ship James Forten had mixed feelings as he saw so many of his comrades wounded, some mortally."
James had mixed fellings because he was safe but soom of the men died. He was sad because the ship was damaged. But he was happy because Active surrenderd."After what must have seemed forever with two ships tacking each other like angry cats, the Active lowerd it's flag. It had surrenderd!"
I thought james forten didnt really have such a good life.I felt bad when they got the desies. His boat was also one of the boats that won."when the ships surrounded the Royal Luis ship the royal luis couldnt do anything but be sunk so the ship lowered its flag.
I think james had mixed feelings because had won but most of his shipmates were hurt."salors all around forten were falling, some dying even as others called for more power."I think he was scared that soon he would be hit or that his ship would sink.he probably aslo had mixed feelings after because he was thinking that he could have been hit to.
James Forten has mixed feelings about his victory over british because he was sad that alot of the crew died but he was still happy. I think James felt both ways because you know when someone dies it is always sad exspecially when you are fighting for your country. But I also think he was happy because they just won a war. "after what must have seemed forever with the two ships tacking about each other like angry cats,the Active lowered it's flag, It had surrendered!"
The reason that James Forten had "mixed feelings" was because maybe it was a trap. Like, when they got aboard the "Active", they could be sold into slavery, which is exactly what happend. But by good forture, he was getting on the "Jermey" instead of getting sold into slavery. I belive that he should have mixed feelings about it. Wouldn't you? In the book, it says,"Decatur brought his ship into Philidelphia, his guns still trained on the limping "Active"." He may have been sad because his crew got wounded, but glad because he won.
James was sad because a lot of men where killed. He was also happy because he and his crew won the battle. All and all he was sad and happy. "In the summer of 1781, James Forten signed onto the privateer Royal Louis , commanded by Stephen Decatur, Sr.
Ithought the story was great about James Forten but I thought James was sad because alot of people died.When his boat won Ithink he was happy.In the story "the second time they went out they surrenderd because there was three ships they were on a prison boat named Jersey"
he was happy and sad becouse his crew won ."the crowd on the dock cheared wildly."on board the victorius ship James Forten had mixed fellings"he had mixed fellings becuase some of the crew members had died .James Forten was happy becuase he didn't die and becuase they won.
I think James felt sad because some of his crew members had died and some were terribly injured. I am geussing he also was scared to think of the next battle he would have and what would happen if they lost and got sent to slavery. I think he was happy that Philadelphia won the battle and didn't get hurt or killed. Here is a quote to go with my answer, "Once the fear of the battle had subided and the wounded were taken off, it was easy to think about the dangerous encounter in terms of adventure. And they had won."
James first felt worride that he and his ship mates would lose the battle.He knew that they would sell him for slavery if they surrender.Or he could get killed if the ship was shot down.when the Ative surrendered,he felt relive but sad that many men where wounded and killed.
James Forton was happy because he got some of the money. He also felt sad because the crew of the Active lost their ship. For example it said" Sailers all about Forten were fallin, some dying." He was sad his crew mates had died.
I think james felt happy and sad. He felt happy because they won the battle. He felt sad because some of his crew members most got hurt and some died in the battle. "the sailors with the worst wounds were sent off to be cared for."
I think James felt scared beacause it was his job to go bellow deck and get gun powder."Forten's job was to carry the powder from bellow to the guns."At any time the gun powder could blow up and kill him and his crew.James was verybrave to get that job on the ship
James felt happy because he mad a British boat surrender and he helped stop the from attacking. He probally also felt sad too because he killed people. And the british could of been faking and sink the boat. " The Royal Louis's guns were loaded with gunpowder that was tamped down by an assisant gunner."
I think James Forten was releived that they had overtaken the enemy ship but was frightened for some of his other crew members who had been killed or terribly injured. He considered himself lucky enough to not be gravely injured or killed. He was very sad that his crew members who worked so hard died though. It was like paying a price for something they didn't buy. I can tell he is sorry by this quote,"James Forten had mixed feelings as he saw so many of his comrades wounded, some mortally."
I think james was happy that his ship won.He could have been sad beacause maybe some people died.He could have been scared because he could have thout they might comeback.
James forten had mixed feeling.Sad beacuse some of his poele died.And exsied beacuse he won the battle."salors all around me were falling some dyiing even as other calling for more gun powder

He felt sad because some of his crew members died and some of those crew members might have been his friends."On board the victorious ship James Forten had mixed feelings as he saw so many of his comrades wounded,some mortally."
james forten ahd mixed feelings like he waz happy and sad at the same time. the reason i think he is happy is beacause once they won they felt like they gave it all they could to win. the other reason i think he was sad because he saw many comareds wounded, some he saw mortaly. It also gave him ideas of what had happened to his father."After what had seemed forever wiyh the 2 ships tacking about each other like angry cats the Active lowered its flag,Ithad finally surrendered!"

James forten had mixed feeling because he was happy that the other ship surrenderdand sad that his friends were dying exaple "There were large hole in the sails and men screaming as they were hit with grapeshot that splinterd the sides of the ship the smell of gunpowder filled the air as captain Decatur turned his ship to keep his broad side guns trained on the active sailors all about foten were falling, some dying even as others cried for more powder."
He was sad because his firends died. He was happy because he didnt die. His famliy probably would have been happy that he didnt die. ''The salors with the worst wounds were sent to be cared for.''
I think James Forten had a mixed feeling becaues he wasent sold for slavory but some of his frends were "James was taken abord Amphyon whith the rest of his crew and they were keep as prisoners"
