Comparing a book to a movie


Author's Note: This essay is about comparing and contrasting on a book named Chains  and the movie called The Patriot .

The deaths were devastating; quick; gory and heart breaking. The hard times of this event was miserable. In the movie The Patriot  Directed by: Roland Emmerich, a various amount of people were killed by the British (Red coats). As this time was going on two young ladies are being sold to a cruel family. Losing your family is hard, you can't bear to see them leave you or be taken away from you.

The Patriot  is a very upsetting time, as the revolutionary war is happening at this moment in time, a happy family with a father of seven children. Benjamin (father) ; Gabriel (oldest son); Thomas (second oldest son), these three boys are very important in this movie for the reason that the boys are the main characters also important to the Revolutionary War. As for one by one of these boys were taken away from the world and each other. 

At that period of time the rebels and the red coats are at battle two young slave  girls just lost their aunt who was the only one who could set them free. The book called, Chains written by: Laurie H. Anderson. This adventurous book is about a older sister named Isabel and her younger sister Ruth. As for these two girls that have been sold of to some bratty white people, they to are in the middle of the Revolutionary War. Through all of this the two insuperable sister have been sent to different places. It makes you sick inside for losing your family, not being able to say in touch for a long time.

These to point of views are different because one side is of two young slaves, the other half is of a point of view of the war and the “rebels”. As both of these time periods are going on both are trying to fight for freedom, as for Isabel and her sister they are sent to be slaves even though they are supposed to be free right at that moment their aunt died. As in The Patriot, multiple slaves are in the movie freely working  to save other slaves from slavery.  All of this is because of the Revolutionary War, all of this revolves around the war.

As these times pass in both book and movie,  there are people dying, crying.  The Patriot and the book Chains have depressing moments,  they also made good times in both, as for winning the battle and for seeing your mom after 5 years into her death. No one could hand really what was going on, but everything turned to be the way of close to a happy ending.
