The Revolutionary war was impacted on many citizens from England to America. Especially for the children of these areas, there is a lot to take in when you’re father leaves for war and your mother becomes deathly ill. In the book Give Me Liberty Thirteen-year-old Nathaniel Dunn is an indentured servant laboring on a tobacco plantation in colonial Virginia. Life is hard, and it’s about to get harder when Nathaniel is sold. At an auction, he is separated from his one friend, a teenage slave named Moses. 

The movie The Patriot, and the book Give Me Liberty  are very much fiction but has many situations that are true. There are also many situations that happen within the book and the movie that are very similar. I will be writing a compare and contrast on the specific situations for the movie and the book.

A similarity that the book and the movie have is that is that both children-children’s parent’s were in wars. In the movie the dad Benjamin Martin served in the French war. As in the book before Nathaniel’s father died he served in the The Battle of Yorktown. Another similarity/compare is how both Nathaniel and the seven children Benjamin had are all without a mom to take care of them while their father is in war.

Some differences that the book and the movie have is that in the movie has to do more with ending the war for everybody letting everyone have peace. And the book has to do with children being free because there is child slavery in this book. Another Difference is how the movie and the book are in different times in the book it takes place in 1770 and the movie took place in 1764.
