Live Free or Die Trying

Live Free or Die Trying #2
Author’s Note: This is a story of the point of few of Sarah Bishop.

In “Sarah Bishop“ a young girl who is only fifteen years old is named, Sarah Bishop. Sarah lives on her own and tries to survive during the Revolutionary War. This story is written from Sarah’s point of view. From this perspective, a lot of events and characters are described in a way that creates a very anxious feeling to the reader though the entire book because there is a surprise around every corner.

One way that Sarah’s point of view influences the reader’s interpretation is how this perspective shows that although her dad did believe in the king it shows that the king would kill anyone even if they did support him.

However, the reader would feel a lot differently about the death of the father if the novel was written in the point of view of the father. For instance, the reader wouldn’t react as much if the dad wasn’t tarred and feathered.

As you can see, the point of view of a story forces the reader to see just one side of an event. In “Sarah Bishop,” the narrator’s perspective makes the reader appreciate their life now because you can believe in what you want, you don’t have to be scared that your dad or one of your family members would be killed.
