Breanna goes to a town meeting with Remember and learns about the crisis of the day that the colonies were facing. She then goes to school with Remember, and learns about what led up the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Plantation.
To her astonishment, Breanna learns that the issues of the time of the Massachusetts Bay Plantation, are the same issues that the world is dealing with centuries later
Remember speaks about the revolution of her day, while Breanna speaks about the revolution of her day. They are talking about different time frames in their conversation, yet they don't realize it. They seem to be talking about the same revolution.
