chains


The title of this book is Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson
It took place at Rhode Island in Boston in 1776. The life like in the story is slavery. The main character is Isabel because they talk about her all through the story. She encourages the people in the slavery. The antagonist is Mrs. Lockton because she would take the anger out on Isabel because her husband wanted to leave her. The hook is the author tells you about the story. She gets you involved in her life. She tries to leave and tries to get Ruthe the back. She tries to escape the slavery to try to find Ruthe but they try to find Isabel and hang her because she is a runaway slave. When you’re a slave and if you runway you will be hanged. She decides to stay at Boston or try to escape and find Ruthe. The theme is the human slaves. I love to read about the slaves and back time even though this book is very boring. I have learned that don’t trust slaves because they can get you killed if you’re a runaway slave.
