Characters In Sophia's War

In the book Sophia’s War by Avi, this book was about a young girl named Sophia who stood up to be a spy and was able to get things done, even by herself. In the article, “ Meet the Women of the American Revolution” by Amanda Coletta, is about different women who had impacted society, by doing different duties, to be recognized, not to be insignificant, but to be heroes in the American Revolution and to show that women are just as capable as men. These women share similar characteristics like Sophia. The women who share the same characteristics like Sophia and who have made a huge impact on society, are, Anna Strong, Sybil Ludington, and Emily Geiger, the women who changed History. One of the women who shared the same characteristics as Sophia,
Emily Geiger was on a mission, to bring a message to Thomas Sumter, because it was a special message from General Nathaniel Greene, talking about troop movements. When she was on her way, she was stopped by British troops. They rummaged through her things, found the letter, and tore it up. When this happened, she was able to recite the whole letter, and was let free. Some ways how Sophia and Emily share similar experiences, are when Amanda quotes, “A teenager, Geiger volunteered to travel 100 miles with a handwritten message from General Nathaniel Greene to General Thomas Sumter troop movements. On the second day of her journey, Geiger was stopped by British scouts. Without evidence of a written dispatch in her possession, Geiger was let go, but because she had committed the contents of the message to memory, she still successfully delivered Greene’s orders, which spelled the end of Lord Rawdon’s army.” Which showed that she was very capable of doing things and keep things secret to herself. In Sophia’s war, Sophia remarks, “You need to know, that I am the one who uncovered your plot. It’s I who put an end to it. These both show that girls/women are just a capable boys/men with delivering things, and exposing all of it to the crowd, and saving lives
