Different points of view

Authors Note: this is a writing to show how the point of views can be different from anybody else

In “The Fighting Ground” by     there are many twists that keep you in the book but also make up the whole story like the fact that what the rebels thought they would be fighting twelve British soldiers that they were fighting but it turned out to be thirty hessians which are one of the cruelest group of soldiers of the time. When the main character figures this out he gets nervous takes off and end up being captured by the soldiers. This story is written in Jonathan’s point of view because of this it puts a lot of hate towards the British and the Germans because of what he has heard and seen about the war.

            Jonathan’s point of view influences the reader’s perspective because he lost a brother in the war so he doesn’t like the British. He also has an injured dad so he kind of has a mixture of wanting to and almost having to fight in the war. Once he hears those bells he went rushing to go join the rebels and was very excited but nervous because he didn’t know what to think.

The reader would feel different about the Americans if it was the hessians point of view. For example they are invading America because they are keeping the British as allies and don’t care much for the Americans. Also if it was a point of view from the Germans the reader might now more of went on during the battle and what those soldiers all went through

To prove my point the story can be seen a lot differently through different people’s eyes but it is also what makes the story. Without this point of view you may not have realized how brutal the Germans can be and how that time in that area could have been so every one of these characters are important
