Nice app, one of the only ones I've accepted that had no speeling errors, even though the one on here recognizes "toward" as a misspelled word

Character History:
Matthew was born in Toronto, Ontario Canada in 1923. He grew up in the city but his family could not afford to give him an education. The city was a nice place but by the time Matthew was ten Toronto had suffered from the depression. Most of his neighbors children could not get an education either so they made a small group of friends to help each other.
Soon tragedy struck Matthew as his parents were killed by muggers when they refused to hand over their money. Matthew had been meant to be sent to a orphanage but he ran away to be with his friends. He survived by begging and having to steal bread sometimes just to live.
As Matthew got older he had was able to get a job at a farm. There were still not a lot of jobs because of the depression. The farmer was nice and let him stay in his house and Matthew got meals in exchange for doing his farmhand duties. He had to plow the fields and feed the chickens and help the farmer whenever he needed help.
At the age of sixteen Matthew left the farm to find a new life back in Toronto. The city had not changed much to Matthew but he was able to get a full time job working in a small butcher shop in his old neighborhood. His old house had been torn down and every trace of Matthew living there was gone. He was forced to live in a shack owned by a landlord that had the rent so Matthew could get regular meals everyday.
When the war started Matthew was apart of the first Canadian volunteers. He hoped that the money he could make he could buy a nicer house and better food. As the war was a escape for Matthew. His landlord died of a heart attack and he got fired from his job when the butcher shop became owned by someone else. So he had nowhere else to go but join the army.

Writing Sample:
Matthew Beatty hid behind a wall in a Nazi occupied town. Nazi's were every where and he nearly died after his squad mates got killed by a machine gun. Smoke was in the air and the talking of Germans were nearby. Matthew couldn't understand a word they were saying but it didn't matter. He was lucky to still have his equipment.
His British uniform was wrinkled and burnt in some places. His Lee-Enfield rifle was still in good shape but he only had a clip left. Matthew's helmet was almost useless as it was now weak. Beatty heard the voices of the Germans grow fainter and fainter as time went on.
"They are going away" Matthew thought. It was time to make his move. He jumped over the wall and moved deeper into the crippled town. Matthew kept low as he ran towards the wall of a building. Beatty peaked out from the corner and saw nothing so he ran and jumped into a garden. He lay prone against the flowers. "Seems the Germans spared this town from destruction." He thought. The Nazi's were patrolling around the perimeter of the town so it was relatively small.
Beatty got up and dashed to a building near the forest out of town. He hit the wall and looked around. Nothing was around but then he knew there was something when he heard a loud gunshot.
"Sniper!" Matthew said to himself as he ran towards the forest. The snipers bullet would kill him probably so he had to move quickly.
Matthew heard the yelling of Germans as they saw him run. They started firing madly with their MP40's and two bullets hit Matthew. One hit his leg and another hit his arm. "Damn..." Beatty said as he limped quickly into the forest.
Another sniper bullet hit a tree and Matthew limped. More shouts in German were heard so Beatty ignored his leg and sprinted as fast as he could. He tripped and rolled as saw the Nazi soldiers winding through the forest. So Matthew scrambled up quickly and avoid more bullets from the Nazi's by dodging between trees.
It seemed like an eternity of running when he stumbled into a clearing. Then he exhaled greatly as he saw it was a small British camp. A large British corporal walked up to Beatty. He asked what happened and Matthew said in between breaths "Nazi town... Patrol... Sniper..." Is was Beatty said before he passed out, exhausted.
