Chains
By: Laurie Halse Anderson
This book takes place in two places in the beginning it took place in Rhode Island and present day Boston, New York. The time line is from Monday, May 27, 1776 to Sunday, January 19, 1777. Life in this world was horriably hard for slaves. The protagonist is Isabel (now known as) Gardner. The story is about Isabel. Isabel has become stronger, smarter,and mor courage. The antagonist is Mrs. Lockton. Mrs. Lockton is the antagonist because her husband drives her near insane.The author lead me into the story by using my intrest of books to lure me in. Isabel and Ruth were thinking they were free but they were still sold into slavery. Isabel tried to do her new owner harm when she told Isabel that she sold her sister.Because Mrs.Lockton made the mistake of telling Isabel that Ruth was not sold Isabel had ran away from the Locktons. On the run Isabel will need all the help she can get to escape. My lesson that I have learned from this book is stand up face forward hestitate you die and retreat and you'll live in regret. My hook is for you to see if Isabel can save her sister and herself.
