Tempe’s Point of View

A Ride into Morning

       Author’s Note: Have you ever lost someone that you cared for very much that when they’re gone it feels like your whole life has changed?

   Tempe is a young woman. Her father just died and her mother thinks that he is still alive and will be coming home soon.

Don’t you ever wonder about someone else’s point of view? When you think about someone’s point of view of things you begin to understand them more. You begin to understand how they feel. You might even understand why they feel that way. Everyone has a point of view. Tempe’s point of view is pretty clear in “A Ride into Morning”.

    Everything that is going on in Tempe’s home and around her is most likely hard to deal with at a young age. The fact that she has to help take care of her mother and take care of the things around the house is a lot of work; the war is happening right outside her home. Tempe feels like there is no one that can relate to her. She has no one to talk to. Both of her older brothers are in the war. Because of the death of her father and her brothers not being home to help her mom her cousin Mary came to live with her. Tempe and her cousin Mary don’t get along very well.

  Tempe’s feelings are hurt and in her mind she feel’s alone.
