Chapter 1 and 2 response.
From these first two chapters, there is one, obvious thing about Peter's character that is shown through his actions towards Sir Philip. It's quite clear that Peter is a reckless person. Even if he hated Sir Philip, no amount of hate should be enough to put your own life on the line in exchange for throwing a rock at a person. From the text, he didn't even consider the enormity of the possible consequences that he would have to go through if he was caught. He put himself in immediate danger and narrowly escaped death. Not only that, Sir Philip is now almost certain to go looking after him, he wouldn't be too happy about his wall being destroyed. It's very obvious that because of his carelessness, he can be considered a very reckless person.
At this point within the story, An accurate hypothesis of future events to come within the novel can be made, using the events that have already been unfolded. An obvious action that will contribute the largest to future events is that Sir Philip Morton will start looking after Peter, having found evidence of Peter's contribution to the destruction of his wall and his attempted assault on Sir Philip Morton. Peter has only two options if this hypothesis is correct. The first is to rally as large a force as he can with his friendly community and attempt to overthrow Sir Philip Morton with overwhelming force; the second option is to run away into another city or country. The latter is more logical, it requires less planning, less lives lost, and less havoc.
Also, another trait is quite obvious in another person, that person is Sir Philip. Sir Philip more than meets all the criteria needed to be considered a Tyrant. He shows unfairness through little concern to lower-class people's opinions, such as the building of his wall, shows corruption as he is willing to kill the lower-class for the continuation of his wall, and is willing to act dishonestly for personal gain.
These would be the best description of chapters 1 and 2 in a few short words , they are very descriptive, informative, and give excellent hints to future events in the story(foreshadow). Because they serve as such an excellent introduction to the story's plot, it's characters, and the setting, these first 2 chapters can be considered very well-written.
