Transcript: Personal Freedom Quote 2: Chains “My hand would not move. If I opened the gate, I would be a criminal. Slaves weren’t allowed out after sunset without a pass from a master. Anyone who caught me could take me to jail. If I opened the gate, a judge could order me flogged. If I opened the gate, there was not telling what punishment Madam might demand. If I opened the gate I might die of fright. I leaned my head against the gate. I could not open the gate, but I had to open the gate. Tnis house was not a safe place. I had to get us out. But there was no way to get out, no way to run off an island, no way to run with a little girl. The secret of Madam’s linenchest was the only key I held.” This quote illustrates the theme statement as Isabel is risking everything to deliver the message to Curzon, in hopes of being freed. She risks being caught, beaten and being found out of being a spy for the Rebel cause, which would only make matters worse, especially in the Lockton house. Wouldn’t matter if you did. He knows he’s under suspicion. Might do you some good,bring you favor in his eyes if you told him. But it would be a mistake. Lockton won’t reward you. The Patriots can. Reward? Colonel Regan is the officer in charge he could send you back to Rhode Island, maybe,help you find that lawyer and his papers.” This quote illustrates the theme as Isabel would be putting her faith in someone she barely knows and in a dangerous plan that could cost her everything, all to get her freedom for herself and Ruth. Chains/The Outsiders “Madam’s threats would not. I slowly pulled my arm out from under my sister. She sighed and curled into a tiny ball. I had pondered the problem all the day and half the night. No matter how many times I turned it around, I found the same answer. We had to flee the city. I sat up and pulled the blanket over Ruth, tucking it under her feet to keep them warm.The wings that could spirit her away were hidden in the master’s desk. I had to take the list;it would by us our freedom. But Bellingham would not listen, not after the incident with the linenchest. I had to deliver it straight to the army. The sound I had been waiting for brike through; the low roar of Master Lockton’s snores ,starting up just as the grandfather clock chimed midnight. I put my skirt on and made my to the bottom of the stairs. The hour was upon me. ‘Twas time to act. “ Isabel is once again risking being caught and punished to get the message to the Colonel. She is doing everything and all she can to help the rebels, not because she wants them to win, but to get her her freedom Personal Freedom Citations: "Man's Outstretched Hands Catching Multinational Coins Falling out of BagStock Video:."
