Ashamed of his brutality during the French Indian War, Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) a widower stays on his homestead with his seven children in South Carolina vowing to live a peaceful life. As one of the most crucial wars in the American History gets closer and closer to South Carolina, the state must decide whether to join or flee. Benjamin, who wants nothing to do with the war, argues against joining the fight with the most powerful country in the world, Britain. When it is decided that South Carolina will join the fight Benjamin 's eldest son Gabriel (Heath Ledger) enlists without permission. Even though he argues against it, he lets Gabriel go. Benjamin stays as far away from the war as possible until a sadistic British officer, William Tavington, burns down his home, takes his slaves, murders his second oldest son Thomas, and takes his oldest son as his prisoner.

The second event is when his wounded son, Gabriel, comes home. The third event is when he experiences the war basically in his front yard. The fourth event is when the British arrive in his front yard, burn down their house, execute the injured Americans, capture Gabriel, and kill Thomas. The fifth event is when Benjamin and his next two oldest sons, Nathan and Samuel, take revenge by killing the British soldiers that captured Gabriel. The three men save Gabriel from the British hands.

In the movie Martin goes into the army after his two older sons to make

In chapter 1, the author Wes Moore slowly had to watch his father die. Wesley (his father) was “no longer in the picture” and Wes Moore was nothing but confused about his father’s death. One of the very few memories he had of his father was that he was his “protector” (Moore 11) and always felt safe around him. Wes, at the age of four was already dealing with lots of emotions and he felt like he was “standing in a field when a powerful gust of wind suddenly blows: everything around you vanishes” (Moore 14). I can’t relate to losing a parent; however I can relate to the feeling where everything around you suddenly vanishes and you feel like everything has taken over. You feel like life has been put in pause and still can’t seem to comprehend

Joseph Plumb Martin was born “upon the twenty-first of November, in the year of 1760” (Martin 6). His grandparents raised him on their Connecticut farm. Inspired by the Battles of Lexington and Concord he decided to enlist into the army. He was eager to help for the patriotic cause. In June of 1776, at the age of 15, Martin was able to enlist but didn’t want to sign up for a long enlistment.

Orders soon came allowing men to enlist for six months so Martin enrolled in the Connecticut

The Return of Martin Guerre written by Natalie Davis gives the audience a rare glimpse into the world of peasant life in sixteenth century France. It also allows a modern day audience a chance to examine and to compare their own identities and questions of self.

Sometimes throughout history, events in real life happen that far exceed the story lines of novels and even some of the far-fetched movie plots. In order to keep from producing boring documentaries and to avoid confinement to a set script in history, screenwriters and directors often combine numerous true events into a new creation that only resembles or loosely portrays real life. These combined scenes can come from all different areas, countries, and even times. All in the name of entertainment and without having to be historically accurate. Early in 2000, the filmmakers out of Hollywood, California, created a film titled “The Patriot.” It was originally released as a fictional film for entertainment, but reiterated that it was loosely based on some historical events, but was still fictional, after attack from numerous historians. “The Patriot” portrays Benjamin Martin, a South Carolinian plantation owner, and his exploits for survival after the Revolutionary War forces its way into his family. His use of guerrilla warfare tactics closely resembles the real life fighting style of
