When You Lose Everything You Love, You Fight

Author's Note

This essay is about how the climax in Hannah Pritchard affects the rest of the book and the rest of her life. Also how different things are for her after she became a pirate.   

    Hannah Pritchard is a young girl who went from a wonderful, loving family, to being an orphan with nowhere to go but work. Once she found a job at the inn, she started discovering all the different jobs she could get… if she was a boy. One of the jobs that they were saying she could do was being a pirate on a ship. Next thing you know, Hannah is trying on her brothers clothes and hopping onto a ship playing as a boy, Jack Pritchard. Stepping on that ship is when everything changes for Hannah Pritchard.

     The climax of this book is when Hannah goes on the ship pretending to be her brother because from there on out she must become her brother, talk like him, walk like him, and not act like a girl. What caused this to happen is that the Red Coats murdered her family while she was in the forest getting berries. After that she went and decided that she wanted revenge on the Red Coats and became a pirate.

            For getting on that ship Hannah has to face some consequences. First of all she didn’t have a job that changed from what she was already doing at home. She was still doing the dishes and making dinner for the crew. Also, she had a love interest in a boy named Daniel who was also working there and she couldn’t tell him the truth about her until later.

            Although there were consequences she had life changes experiences from going on the ship, once everyone knew she was a girl they let her stay because she works so hard and does a good job at it. So she got to keep fighting against the Red Coats for revenge. Lastly, Daniel and Hannah then planned to finish the war and get married.

In conclusion The Revolutionary Pirate had a happy ending but also a start of a new beginning for Hannah and Daniel. The Climax had consequences and rewards that affected her whole life after the war. And hopefully, Hannah got the adventure she wanted.
