Sophia's War Historical Consultant Essay There are many historical fiction books that have been written, and any to be written yet. However, the historical fiction genre is a complicated concept. It is fiction, yet it still reqiuresfact. The hardest part is finding the perfect balance of fact and fiction, history and imagination. Some authors choose to go for more historically accurate books, while some choose to make theirs more interesting, of how they envision history may have turned out. For the book Sophia's War, author AVI had to make that choice of balance as well. AVI's book Sophia's War is mostly historically accurate based on his depictions of Prison Ships and his description of New York. AVI's depiction of New York during the American Revolution was historically accurate, for example when describing British Soldiers he wrote, "[the British soldiers] strode around like the loud, boisterous victors they were, devils of fear and disorder. Many repeatedly made ill-mannered comments, to women more than to men," (AVI 41). THis description also fits into the non-fiction text which states, "...sometimes boisterous troops helped themselves to a farmer's livestock ora tavern-keeper's ale... attacks upon local women by both individual soldiers and groups of garrisoned troops..."(Kilmeade 65) thereofre showing the accuracy of AVI's description.

Alternative transcript:
war was accurate when he described the comparison of the prison ships to jails, "This was the sugarhouse, twice as horrible. This was not mere disregard and ignorance. This, by multiple degrees, was murder." (AVI 116). This is proven to be accurate in the nonfiction texts by, "The British believed the Jersey would play a role in helping to end the uprising by deterring through fear and terror-the revolution. The old hulk was used as propaganda in loyalist newspapers and public announcements. The plan ultimately backfired. As stories of the inhumanity aboard the ship and unimaginably high death toll came to light-largely through accounts by the few prisoners who managed to escape-and were retold in newspapers and pamphlets, the Jersey became a rallying cry for liberty. Incensed by the shocking stories, news of the dreaded prison ship spread throughout the colonies much as had happened before the war with the Boston Massacre" (Watson), depicting the true horror that AVI came very close to portraying, making his text also historically accurate. Therefore, AVI has shown how historically accurate his text, Sophia's War is in reality by providing highly accurate depictions of New York during the American Revolution, as well as life onboard British Prison Ships.
