Don't Stop

Authors Note: this short piece is going to be talking about the movie The Patriot  and compared to the book Jump Ship to Freedom and how they are alike.

This book and movie are very similar to each other and kind of tell the same story. In the movie there was lots of characters but in the book there were not that many. The book was about a mom and a son who where both slaves and his dad died in the war. They both were living with people that had the dad’s soldier notes and they were trying to take them so they could have their freedom. Back when  blacks joined the army they didn’t treat them nice and they had to spend a certain amount of time in the army to earn their and their families freedom. In the movie there was a slave fighting so he could be free just like Daniels dad.

They both were different in many ways. The book talked about what they family did when the dad was off fighting. They movie was just about how the war was fought and what they did. They were both in the same time period but they just showed how a family was like back then and how the war was. It was a very sad time for both the families that were living at home and the soldiers fighting for our freedom. And how some loved ones had died.

Over all, I thought that the book and movie were great and it told a lot about the revolutionary war and what slaves did during that time. The book didn’t tell that much about anything else only how the slaves tried to get their freedom. But I thought the book was great. I also thought the movie was great and the story line to it.

In conclusion I just want to say that If you were put in this situation what would you do different or do the same. They fought hard and never gave up they wanted to get their freedom badly so they could live a lot better live instead of having the British invade their homes and tell them what to do so they stayed strong and risked their lives for us.
