The theme for Chains is to stay strong. Multiple times in the book it looked like Isabel was going to cry but she stood strong and acted tough. For example when Ruth got sold she stayed strong and did the work she was supposed to do. She didn't run away to find Ruth. "My cheek burned, but I fought back the hot tears," (33). This proves that Isabel has to stay strong because she fought off her tears.

On page 133, Isabel is upset. In this scene Isabel woke up and couldn't find Ruth. Becky tells her that Madam sold her. Ruth now is on the islands. In this part Isabel said " I stopped hearing right. No more birds or buzzing or grandfather clock marking time. This proves that Isabel is shocked. I can infer she's upset because she loves Ruth so much and wants to protect her.
