Who Is Leuka's Vengeance?

Thomas Putnam is a wealthy and influential citizen of Salem who commonly holds grudges over land boundaries. He and his wife hold a grudge especially against Rebecca Nurse because she has a lot of children and the Putnams have only one child. “Mrs. Putnam. (with a growing edge of sarcasm). But I must! You think it God's work you should never lose a child, nor grandchild either, and I bury all but one? There are wheels within wheels in this village, and fires within fires! Putnam. (to Parris). When Reverend Hale comes, you should proceed to look for signs of witchcraft here” (Miller 29). Mrs. Putnam wants justice for the difference in the amount of children that she and Goody Nurse have and sees supernatural causes as the only reason she loses so many.

In the excerpt from Julia by Lillian Hellman, Lilly puts herself in harm’s way for her lifelong friend.

Harriet Tubman was among the greatest fighters for justice in her time and was an inspiration to others to fight for what they believe in, but she along with many others who fight experienced it themselves. When she was younger, “She knew that her brothers and sisters, her father and mother, and all the other people who lived in the quarter, men, women and children, were slaves. At the same time, someone had taught her where to look for the North Star, the star that stayed constant, not rising in the east and setting in the west as the other stars appeared to do; and told her that anyone walking toward the North could use that star as a guide. She knew about fear, too. Sometimes at night, or during the day, she heard the furious galloping of horses, not just one horse, several horses, thud of the hoofbeats along the road, jingle of harness. She saw the grown folks freeze into stillness, not moving, scarcely breathing, while they listened. She could not remember who first told her that those furious hoofbeats meant the patrollers were going past, in pursuit of a runaway. Only the slaves said patterollers, whispering the word” (Petry). Living with her family as a slave, she learned all the things she needed to know to do her job in the future as the conductor of the Underground Railroad, she learned about the North star, and she learned about how you should not get caught by the patrollers. Perturbed by the thought of the fate of her family and her future, she escaped to Philadelphia but “Rather than remaining in the safety of the North, Tubman made it her mission to rescue her family and others living in slavery via the Underground Railroad” (Biography.com editors). She made it her mission to save others and take

When Isabel exchanges information with the Patriot soldiers and explains what she wants in return for the information, her actions and speech reveal she is determined to return home free. During her conversation with the Patriots Isabel says, “ I am in a position to trade with you sir… My sister and I were wrongfully taken from Rhode Island, and I mean to get us back there” (pg. 102). After overhearing Master Lockton’s plans against George Washington, Isabel decides to take the list of names of those involved in the plan to the Patriot soldiers because she was told they could help set her free. Unlike in the beginning when she feels hopeless and scared after being sold to be a slave again, Isabel has changed and is now determined to seek the freedom that was promised to her after the death of her former

The rebellion will weather like a vine cut off at it’s route. Cut off a vine and it will grow back, the mayor said. You must pull it out of the ground and burn it to ensure it is dead.“(Gold Buttons, and The Major 89). The Patriots think that way and the Loyalists think another but how do the slaves think of Freedom and Liberty. Isabel a slave in the book would consider freedom as not being a slave. She has been in bondage her entire life, so freedom to her is being considered a person, not property. Also being able to go find Ruth and to live and travel wherever she wants, to say whatever she wants to say. I think Isabel considers being free, having no chains holding her down, and having the same rights as a white man. I know this because Isabel states in the book chains,” If an entire nation could seek its freedom, why not a girl? And if a girl wants to seek her freedom, how could she do a fool-headed thing? Especially a girl trapped in New York? Best thing would be to break into the desk of a British commander steal a pass and forge her name and his name on it and act free. And pigs were likely to fly, Plus, that girl seeking freedom would have to walk. “(Isabel 272) These quotes show what Liberty means the different types of people in the book Chains. Freedom and Liberty can make people do impossible things like having farmers and slaves fight against the strongest army that has never lost a battle. Freedom and Liberty is one crazy

Also freedom for Harriet Jacob is for her to get away from Dr. Flint as he makes her time in slavery very hard. Considering that she never wants to be like other African American women in slavery. Even though Linda spent nearly her whole life fighting for freedom, she never really achieved social, economic, and political freedom. Even with her being able to become physically free; Linda was able to achieve mental and spiritual freedom, which let her continue on despite horrible hardships and countless

The question arises of do you want her to spread the ways of the Devil to our amazing town? However, it might already be too late, she has hurt so many

One of the most noble and well-respected citizens of Salem, this elderly woman is kindly and sane, suggesting that Betty 's illness is simply a product of being out too late in the cold. However, because she served as midwife to Mrs. Putnam, Rebecca Nurse is charged with the supernatural murder of Putnam 's children, who were each stillborn. Rebecca Nurse is the clear martyr in the play, the most pure and saintly character hanged for witchery.

Engraved in his mind Lupito was tormented by the memories of war causing him to become a beast with a war living in him.

Fever is a book in which a 14 year old girl named Matilda, also known as Mattie, lives in a town in the middle of a fever epidemic. Sometime after falling in love with a boy named Nathaniel Benson Matilda’s mother falls ill with the fever. She instructs Matilda and her Grandfather to leave the city. Shortly after failing to flee the city Matilda falls ill with the fever. Afterwards she and her grandfather went back to the city.

Her mother’s independence is what inspired Harriet to stand up for herself and her beliefs. When Harriet was in her adolescence she was out running an errand when she came across another slave who had left the fields

Her fears of going against the Lockton’s beliefs may get her in trouble, but if she stood with them she would not. Next, Isabel sees the other side of choice, the Patriots. Rebelling against the King to fight for their freedom their decisions are good, but sometimes doubtful when

I asked. That is not for us to say, Antonio. The war sickness was not taken out of him, he did not know what he was doing.”. Since Ultima apprehends that what Lupito did isn’t his fault, but what the war did to him, to lose sanity and become someone he didn’t want to ripen as. Even though he wonders for Lupito’s forgiveness, the fundamentals of his religion contradicts his thoughts which increases his religious ambivalence.

Should she aid the rebels or play it safe and attempt to please the Lockton’s? Prior to her arrest, Isabel thought that being a spy for the rebels would be beneficial and lead her to freedom. After her arrest, Isabel hears that the British promised to free all slaves that assist them. This conflict of interest was memorable, because it showed me that decisions and mistakes I make, although menial compared to Isabel’s, will not ruin my entire life. I think it is also memorable because it shows that Isabel’s adolescence is authentic. Most teeenagers today are indecisive, just like teenagers in the 1770s.

why the men killed Lupito and why Lupito wasn 't saved. Even though she had dismissed his
