Through The Eyes of A Boy

Author’s note: I am giving the point of view thru the eyes of Nathanial.  

Seeing thru the eyes of a young kid may be different than thru adults. Especially when the boy is a slave who is very shy and also lost his parents. The book is about a boy named Nathanial who is back in the time of the revolutionary war. After losing his mom and not knowing his dad he is turned into a slave. He tries his best to not get in trouble, but it may not last long.

Nathanial in the book Give Me Liberty by L. M. Elliott has many perspectives of people. Many of the people Nathanial thinks are horrible and cruel people. In the beginning he talks of how most of them are chunky guys with shabby beards, but one who saves him from his previous owner. His name was Basil to Nathanial he was the nicest person he ever met. Basil always thought well about him to, and others thought badly about Nathanial.

Owen was the name of Nathanial’s previous owner. He only thought of him as a pest, but needed him to help with blacksmithing. Many of the other buyers that thought about buying Nathanial did not like the way he looked. When Owen was whipping him he thought of him himself as big and bad. Others around watching Owen whip him thought of him as a bad person, and many other stories’s had thing just like this.

The book The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor has many people with different points of view. Such as Alyss’s aunt Redd who sees Alyss as a brat trying to steal her throne. Alyss knowing that Redd is nothing but an evil person who killed her parents tries to take the throne away. Just like Nathanial they both try staying out of trouble, and finding justice for their parents.

So both in The Looking Glass Wars and Give Me Liberty they have different points of view. Some are good and some are bad depending on who they are. Adult and kids have different points of view but sometimes they are the same.

A Boy With Courage

Author’s note: I will be writing about the theme which is courage. There are many books I the book but there is only one main one.

At first I did not like to book, it was slow and really boring. Then towards the middle of the book things got more exciting. I think the theme is courage because that is what the main character shows a lot. He took his uncles job almost died many times and never stopped trying. No one else could do the things that he did.

It takes a lot of courage to be a spy. In the book “ STORMBREAKER”  By  Anthony Horowitz, Alex Rider’s uncle dies but not in the way they think. Having no one to take his place Alex is asked. In this story the theme is courage. Along with many others books courage is what the main character has.

Even though the theme is courage there are still many others. Just like many other stories there is always bravery. Just like in the book Give me liberty By L.M.Elliott  Nathanial show courage, bravery, good willing.  Alex shows a lot of bravery in the book, but he also is good willing. He instead of just helping himself he helps others. Also like in the book Touching Spirit Bear instead of Cole helping himself he also helps others like peter.

In conclusion every story has a great theme that goes along with the character. In this case it had many different themes. Courage was the theme and most people it take a lot of courage to do a certain thing. Courage is known as going face to face with pain and grief, which in this case Alex Rider was able to do.

In conclusion every story has a great theme that goes along with the character. In this case it had many different themes. Courage was the theme and most people it take a lot of courage to do a certain thing. Courage is known as going face to face with pain and grief, which in this case Alex Rider was able to do.

Comparing Book to Movie

Author’s note: I am comparing and contrasting a movie and a book. The movie and the book are great, but I think that I like the movie more than the book.

Imagine when people used to ride horses for transportation, or used candles to light there house at night. That is how it is in the movie The Patriot, and in the book Give Me Liberty. There are many things that you can compare and contrast between the movie and book.

One of the first things that are the same is it is based around the same time in the movie and book. 1775–1783 was the time of the revolutionary war which is the time setting in both the story and movie. In Give me Liberty they talk of the war and how it works and The Patriot shows it. The biggest topic they bring up all the time between both of them is war, but they also have many differences too.

A difference between the movie and the book is different point of view. The movies point of view is by a third person so you see everything that is going on. It is different in the book it’s a first person point of view, everything is being told by a slave who is traveling with a musician. Sense the story is told by a young kid he does not know as much so it does not talk about as much.

In the movie it talks about slavery and shows them and free used to be slaves. The books talks about slaves and how the character is a slave, but does not talk about any free slaves. Both books talk about how if slaves join the war they will have their freedom given to them.

In conclusion they both have many alike things, but also has just as many different things. So they both have slaves that will be granted freedom. They are based in the same time, and talks of war a lot of the time.
