Point of View

My Brother Sam is Dead

                   Authors Note: 

In My Brother Sam is Dead, strongly fight about what is right and wrong. His dad turns to the British side. Then Sam, the oldest brother in the Meeker family decides to turn to the Colonists. But the youngest, Tim Meeker, is pressure to put a view on things himself.

 The point of view is told by Tim meeker. Tim is the youngest son of two in the Meeker family. Tim is pressured to fight against his father but he doesn’t what to fight against Sam. I heard before that would go with this book. That is “The dead will pay for the living”. It seems like Sam’s death was for another man’s doing.  

Tim’s view on stuff makes his  brother sound like the brother everyone wants or has and his dad sounds like he is the meanest father ever. But what if it was told by the British soldier that executed Sam or it was told by Tim’s and Sam’s Dad. Their dad would probably think of Sam as a trader and a coward for fighting beside the colonists. But Tim doesn’t think of anything or anyone being bad or being a betrayer.

If this story was in the point of view was told by a different person in the story it would come out totally different. The scene and thought in everything, the feelings. Everything except the time period. So the next time you ever read, try to think of the story in a different characters point of view.
