Now he can say that half of the Royal Navy and half of the Royal Army know the story of how he freed Miss Elizabeth Gwillim from those patriots hands. He has to admit, she is good with propaganda and making everyone believing that those twenty blue coats had been a whole legion and that, at the most five minutes, had been an hours long bloody battle in which he of course took victory. He can't resist to watching her with a smirk. She should write war reports. She could make the biggest defeat looking like the biggest victory of the British Empire.

In the beginning of the memoir Ruth talks about how she is dead to her family using diction. With the use of diction Ruth sums up the ending in the beginning. Throughout the memoir Ruth tells her life story which eventually leads to the quotes meaning. The story that James McBride wanted is a harsh life story that his mother had to live through.

In the novel Jubilee, the character Vyry is displayed as a virtuous woman. In fact, this one character exemplifies the spirit of the African American woman. According to an excerpt by Margaret Walker, the author of Jubilee it is evident that the character Vyry possesses these admirable virtues. “Peasant and slave, unlettered and untutored, she was nevertheless the best true example of the motherhood of her race, and ever present assurance that nothing could destroy a people whose sons had come from her loins.” (Walker, p. 486) I believe this quote means no matter where you come from, nor your background, that doesn’t decide who you are, or who you become.

During the movie a strong connection is created within two main characters which in turn
