I felt that the revolutionary struggle depicted in the book was overly-romanticized. Throughout the novel, there are some overt and implied comparisons of Marcus to some of the greatest revolutionary minds in history, such as Ceasar Chavez. I added my own tinge to this by expanding upon this notion. I chose to compare Marcus to some of the more controversial radicals whose ideals drove them to fight against an authority that they deemed unfit to rule. While their methods were anything but peaceful, their desire for freedom was still very much there.
