How far will one go for freedom?


Authors note: this piece of writing is explaining the point of view in my historical fiction
Book Sarah Bishop . It tells the reader who is telling this story and what would happen if
a different character would tell the story.

      Sarah bishop is  a fifteen year old girl, & she lives at home with her brother and father.
War is breaking out in her home town, and her father and brother support different sides. Sarah is confused about she should stand for. Sarah tells readers about events happen.
    The revolutionary war has come to Sarah's hometown , Sarah tells the readers how her brother 
leaves to go fight the war as a troy. Sarah also tells readers how her father gets  and feathered.
     In Sarah Bishop, Sarah bishop is  a fifteen year old girl, & she lives at home with her brother and father.
War is breaking out in her home town, and her father and brother support different sides. ` Sarah is confused about she should stand for.
       The story is written in Sarah Bishops point of view. From this perspective, a lot of events and characters are described in a way that creates anger, fear, and curiosity  in the reader about the death of Sarah's father and brother.  
         One way that Sarah Bishop's point of view influences the reader's interpretation is how this perspective describes/shows how Sarah deals with the deaths of her only family members, she decides to go find a couple small jobs to make some money. She also finds a place to live and make it on her own.  
         However, the reader would feel a lot differently about the war if she was one of the solders. if the novel was written in the point of view of of a solider maybe she would see why they wanted to fight.
           For instance, the reader wouldn't think that fighting the Americans would be a good idea.As you can see, the point of view of a story forces the reader to see just one side of an event or topic. From this perspective, a lot of events and characters are described in a way that creates anger, fear, and curiosity  in the reader about the death of Sarah's father and brother.  I think Sarah  is a brave young girl.
