Long Answer

1. In the wilderness animals kill for survival–either to protect themselves or for food, killing is rarely senseless. In the novel, however, Samuel frequently comments on the senseless killing of innocent people for no apparent reason other than the spoils of war. (Various chapters)

2. Woods Runner is a historical fiction novel. The author’s intent is to illustrate the difficulty of navigating war-torn America, the senselessness of war, and to describe life on the frontier in Colonial America.
