Willy vs Benjamin

Willy vs. Benjamin
Kaelyn Rogers
Being a woman in the time of revolutionary war can have different effects from a man. In the book War Comes to Willy Freeman by and the movie “The Patriot”. Both the characters Willy and Benjamin are very different, but are both fighting for most of the same reasons.
Willy is a 13 year old African American girl, whose father has been killed in front of her very eyes; Willy’s mother, on the other hand has been kidnapped by the British army in New York City. She bravely decides to dress up as a man and to set out to find her Aunt Betsy. To find her mother and return her safely.
Like Willy, Benjamin Martin, ex militia in the revolutionary war; is seeking the revenge to the man who gruesomely killed one of sons in front of the widowed father. He sets out on a journey to hunt down the man called Colonel William Tavington. Losing another son on the journey, Benjamin kills Tavington.
In my conclusion I see that there is a significant satisfaction that both of the characters fee, wantin to have revenge on the people who have changed the families. I believe both characters have both went on a adventure to keep the ones they love safe.
