Authors note: this essay was written to compare the book jump ship to freedom and the movie the patriot, about family and war.
War is a deadly thing, take
it from Daniel and the 7 sons and daughters from the book Jump Ship to Freedom by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher
Collier and the movie The Patriot by
Roland Emmerich and Robert Rodat. These two are related in many ways and also
different, but the two that I could compare the most were war and family.
Family means a lot and when
something happens everything can go wrong. Each family is similar because they
both had fathers that fought in the war. They’re also similar for a bad reason,
their families have to live with knowing that one of their loved ones are gone.
In the book, when Daniel is took away from his mother, it’s kind of like when
Benjamin Martin ( the father) from The Patriot, has to take off to the war and
no choice but to leave his family.
Secondly war affected each
family in a variety of ways. The martin family was effected by war because it
warped their fathers mind he was always worried about another war. For the
Arabus family it was much different because Daniel and his mother lost his
father or her husband. War also resulted in something good for both families.
One being Daniel would have never freed his family if his dad didn’t earn money
from the war, and Benjamin Martin saved his son in because of the war so it
evens out.
Even though families are
different they still have their similarities, and this lets them know that
maybe they’re not the only one that lost a family member, or don’t see their
father or mother for months of time. So these families would be good examples
of that you always should love your family and keep them close, because you’ll
never know when they’ll be gone.
