 * Connections**

I think when Deborah gets shot in the leg she can’t go to the hospital because she is afraid that her secret would get out. Just like one time I cut myself with a razor knife rely, rely bad. I couldn’t go to my mom because I would get in trouble.


 * Theme / Author’s Purpose**

I think wants readers to learn that if you rely want to do some thing there is nothing standing in your way. She also wants readers to know about Deborah Sampson the young woman who changed the world for everyone. If no one knew about Deborah then woman still might not be aloud in the army.
