The Committee

Authors Note: This POV essay is to tell a scene from the book April Morning from somebody else’s point of view.

In April Morning Adam is a young boy and the story is told in his point of view. From how he see’s everything is in a mad and a The scene where his father is going to the committee and Adam wants to go but his dad asks him: “Are you a man now, Adam?” Adam replies, “I’m tall, I’m strong and I’m only nine months away from my sixteenth birthday.” His dad says back, “The proof of a man is the will to work and the ability to use his mind and his judgment. Can you offer that proof, Adam?” Adam only stared at his dad. But his dad says, “Talk to me when you can, Adam.”(All on pages 22-23)

In the point of view of his dad in the scene would be a lot different than what Adam thought. Adam thought that he was mad that everything that he tries to do his dad won’t let him but he was also starting to get mad not only at his dad but his whole family because he has the temper span of a bomb with a short fuse. But what his dad felt was much different, in his dad’s point of view he was probably wondering if Adam could truly be a man and get into the committee. In his dads mind he was thinking that he knew Adam wasn’t a man and he would probably mess it up if he went.

For Adam he has a family that makes him mad all the time and he has a family that he thinks could care less about him. Adam doesn’t like how anybody in his family doesn’t love him. But in his dad’s point of view he is just trying to make him a man and he does love Adam but he doesn’t show it. Adam wants to join the army but he knows that you have to be 16, his dad knows that too. But his dad does think that he could be ready but Adam doesn’t choose to show that he is ready and he can show proof that he is a man.
