Revolution+Theme+Connection

//The Silver Blade// represents the theme of revolution because many of the characters work together to stand up for what is right, even though it goes against what they are supposed to be doing. Each time they attempt to rescue someone, they are all risking their lives. During the Reign of Terror, thousands of people were arrested in France and charged with being a spy or counter-revolutionarry. Almost everybody that was arrested was found guilty and sentenced to death. Yann and the other actors at the theatre felt that they had to do something about the situation in France, so they did everything that they could to stop the murders of innocent people. This book is a great example of revolution because it is set in a time when France revolted from its king and a few brave citizens were willing to risk their lives to make a difference. 25/25
