The View is always Different( point of view)

 Authors note: this is a point of view piece written on the book The Underdogs   , which is changing the perspective, from the main character named Will to a sub character named Hannah.   

          Wow! Just because I’m a girl doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be out there every play. I can’t believe I’m not out there on the field, instead were just a weak spot in the wide receiver position. It’s all his fault! That was what I think the point of view would be if Hannah from the book The Underdogs was the main character and not Will. If Hannah was the main character the plot would change a lot, here’s what It might look like.

 Instead of the plot having will make the make a new football team struggle to get enough players, then lose their first 2 games and after that come all the way back to the championship. It would be Hannah moving to Forbes, meeting Will and becoming friends. Then asking to join the football team, struggling to play at first and blaming Will, to finally realizing that it was for the better of the team and then go on to win the championship.

There is lots of points in this book where Hannah thinks very differently from Will. The two probably disagree the most in football. One of the parts in which they disagree is after the game, and Hannah gets upset with Will because she sat out the final play. On this play Will and the coach thought we really need this and Hannah hasn’t quite got this and sat her out. But on Hannah side it looks like this, why do they do this, I thought he promised me a chance, I shouldn’t have trusted him! Throughout the book it was that easy to tell they had very different point of views.

Back when Mike Lupica was writing this book, if he did decide to write it in Hannah’s perspective the whole book would have changed from the readers point of view. By this I mean that most of the plot would be there, but when they win a game instead of having the book seem like there all happy, it could have had Hannah complaining. Over all every ones point of view would be different but if the author had chosen Hannah it would have changed everything no doubt.

After all you can see and tell that everyone has a different point of view on everything, especially thing that matter most. For instance, like sports if they really matter to you then you always think you should be out there making the play that counts. This point of view makes more sense after you change something in the book. If you were to rewrite the book with a sub character from this book a lot would be a lot different. That’s why you always have to keep your head up even if you are not first in line.

War destroys families (compare- contrast)

Authors note: this essay was written to compare the book jump ship to freedom and the movie the patriot, about family and war. 

War is a deadly thing, take it from Daniel and the 7 sons and daughters  from the book Jump Ship to Freedom  by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier and the movie The Patriot by Roland Emmerich and Robert Rodat. These two are related in many ways and also different, but the two that I could compare the most were war and family. 

Family means a lot and when something happens everything can go wrong. Each family is similar because they both had fathers that fought in the war. They’re also similar for a bad reason, their families have to live with knowing that one of their loved ones are gone. In the book, when Daniel is took away from his mother, it’s kind of like when Benjamin Martin ( the father) from The Patriot, has to take off to the war and no choice but to leave his family.

Secondly war affected each family in a variety of ways. The martin family was effected by war because it warped their fathers mind he was always worried about another war. For the Arabus family it was much different because Daniel and his mother lost his father or her husband. War also resulted in something good for both families. One being Daniel would have never freed his family if his dad didn’t earn money from the war, and Benjamin Martin saved his son in because of the war so it evens out.

Even though families are different they still have their similarities, and this lets them know that maybe they’re not the only one that lost a family member, or don’t see their father or mother for months of time. So these families would be good examples of that you always should love your family and keep them close, because you’ll never know when they’ll be gone.
