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.
