Also Benedict Arnold rebelled putting him in the risk of harming himself for example "up at the burning barn and there, on the top of the slanted roof holding out his arms for balance, was benedict Arnold."(page 9) this shows that benedict Arnold is putting himself at risk by doing dangerous stunts. (don't do dangerous stunts then no risk.)

Also, Benedict Arnold built a canon and the text states " he yelled "huzza!" as the cannon spit fire past his face"(page 20) this shows a physical risk because he could have heart himself. Stand back from things that could hurt or burn you.
