=﻿Theme Revolution Connection=

The theme of the revolution and the American Revolution were common throughtout the entire book Chains, by Laurie Halse Anderson. For example, both sides of the revolution were present in the book, such as the Patriots, also known as the rebels, and the Loyalists, also know as the British. The British arrived in the New York habor, similar to the waythey did in the real American Revolution. Also, many prisoners from both sides of the war were taken captive and treated awful in the discusting, disease filled prisons and warehouses, There were also generals, colonels, slaves, soliders, and kings involved in the story and in the actual revolution. They also used secrets, messagers, and spies to obtain information for the enemy. George Washington was the main general in both events. Lastly, both events contained forts where men would rest and stay loged, battle maps would be drawn, sneak attacks would be planned, plans would be constructed, and weapons would be stored. 25/25
