How things would have worked out

Author Note: This piece of writing will show my understanding of text structure. And shows how different conflicts could have been different or turned around.

Hope’s family was poor, and getting poorer by the day. With her little sister being born and her father and brother off fighting in the war, they had to use their money very wisely. When Hope went to the market to get food a man gave her a white note. It said “Hello, Just wanted to let you know that your husband is going to be coming home.” Everyone was very excited because he could start to bring their family shop back up and running. They really needed the money.

After Hope’s father got home he shortly got a notice that all men in the house hold needed to go and fight because the British were coming to take over their town. This was the climax in the story because he had just gotten home and with the note they sent it looked like it was going to be a hard battle. Would Hope end up losing her father for her own freedom? Even though Hope’s brother had also just gotten home, her mother did not want him leaving again to go and fight. So, they kept him hiding, they couldn’t risk two people in their family getting hurt. The reason why this is the climax of the story is because once Hope’s father goes off to fight there is return (“The point of no return.”) But also, keeping Hope’s brother in hiding. Once they do this there is no turning back.

The time zone that this book was written in was during the revolutionary war. People wanted their freedom and didn’t want to lose it. So, to do that, all the men from each house had to go and fight. Weather they wanted to or not. This is what led up to the main climax of the story, Hope’s father leaving again to fight. But this time for an even better reason. Even though he could get hurt or even killed.

When Hope’s father left he left many effects on them. They were scared, worried, and mostly brave. Even though they didn’t want him to go they knew it was the right thing to do. They were scared for nothing, A few months later Hope’s father returned and wasn’t hurt and thankfully alive! Usually stories don’t end in a good way but this one did, it was a happy ending!
