Assignment 1 response

If the point of view in “April Morning” by; Howard Fast, was different it would change the effect of the entire story. This novel is about a kid who has many problems with his dad and in order to escape him, the boy has decided he would like to goof to the army. Even though he and his dad fight a ton, his dad is making it clear that he doesn’t want his boy to go. The boy believes that his father just doesn’t want happiness for him.
                Although, maybe if the story was told from the fathers point of view things would be seen differently. Maybe the dad hates fighting with his son but is just trying to look at for him by protecting him. It might be real interesting to find out what is going through his father’s mind, and what he is thinking of when certain things occur. For example, the boy believes that his father doesn’t want him to join the army because his father doesn’t wan t the best for him. However, the dad could possibly just be worried for his son to join the army and doesn’t want to lose him. You never know what could be going through the fathers mind, So I think it might be interesting to find the fathers point of view in the book “April Morning” by; Howard Fast.
