Hope’s Point of view vs. Her mother’s

Author’s Note: This piece of writing will show that point of view is different than other peoples and how they see things.

Everyone had their own point of view on things. Let’s say you were a stay at home mom that took care of the house and children, you point of view would be very different than a man fighting in the war. Each person has a different role in life. Their role can and does impact their point of view.
Every day when Hope would right in her journal she would say what she did each day. She didn’t have the best life but her family made the best out of it. Her father was gone serving in the war and her older brother was off working. But her mother and little sister were home with her. Sense the book was a journal that Hope wrote, it was written in her point of view. For example when she went to the market to get meat a man came up and gave her a white paper. She ran it home to her mother and gave it to her. The paper said that her father was going to be coming home. Her mother jumped with joy. Hope was just excited to see her father and went on to make dinner. If this were written in her mother’s point of view I think that it would have been written much differently. The reason for this is because everyone has their own point of view and thoughts on things.
If the scene where Hope’s father had to leave for war were to be told by someone else, like her mother it would be told completely different than what Hope’s point of view was. Yes, I’m sure they were both concerned with his safety but Hope’s mother had a different point of view then her. I think Hope’s mother would have been sad that her husband had to leave yet again but he had to go, he needed to fight. I’m sure that she needed to act that everything was going to be ok because she didn’t want her children to be worry about him. A role that she needed to play was a strong brave mother. I think she fit the part well.
You have a role to play in life; don’t worry about making the role right. Just go with the flow and see what happens. Even though your point of view is different than other people’s you will always remember your memories in one way or another, good or bad. So, keep a journal just like Hope did so you can remember every day of your life.
