Chains


The Author of the book chains is Laurie Halse Anderson. This took place in Rhode Island and New York. It happened at 1776 through 1777. The culture is none of this is happining like what is happining in the book. The main character in this book is Isabel. The reason why because, it talks about her through out the book. Isabel's outlook changed her life in this novel. The bad character is Ms. Lockton because, she has Isabel in slavery and puts her in a dungeon and they fight alot in the book. The reason why they fight in the book is because of her husband. If you want to know if Isabel and her Sister breaks free or not and they have to stay you have to read this book. The whole book starts off like this she breaks free and runs but she runs into some soldiers and they catch her. A rising action is she tried to escape and they tried to hang her. The main conflict is finding Ruth and run away and wants to be free. The appropriate decision made by the main character Isabel is she tries to find Ruth.The theme of the story talks about human freedom. One of the reason's is she wants you to do is to do some stuff for poor people. My hook is to see if Ruth can get free. And they can break out and run away.

  1. Improved from your first attempt, however, I do not remember them trying to hang Isabel. Do you really think the purpose of this book is to encourage you to help poor people? Good concept on the main conflict, however, you may have given away to much information in your summary. What do you think?
