Owen is a boy how isn’t like many. Owen is smaller than most
boys and is a very big Christian. Owen believes that he is God’s instrument.
Everything that happens in Owens’s life that happens, all the extraordinary
events happens because he believes he is God’s instrument. The story is from
John’s point of view. John is Owens’s best friend and what happens in the story
is heart breaking to both of them.
One of the biggest events in the story is Owen hits a foul ball and hits and kills John’s
mom. This is a big event because John is left with his Grandma for the rest of
his life. Before John’s Mom died she never told John who his Dad was and she
never was planning it. She wouldn’t even tell anyone. Owen felt so bad when
this happen he was saying I’m sorry and also I can’t help it everything I do is
because God has a plan for me and I am God’s instrument. It also was the same
response back from John every time, it’s fine I know it was an accident.
If this story was in Owens’s point of view I think that the
story would change a ton. I think that it would change a lot because of how
Owen acts from John’s point of view. The most thing that would change is how
excited Owen was when he actually made contact with the ball and what he was
thinking and doing after it all happened to make John feel better.
There could be so many great point of views in this story,
but I think that John Ivring picked the best one because of all the details he
adds in and how he describes what happens and how it happens within it. From a
point of view from Owen it would be a lot more think of what he did and how he
kept saying how sorry he is and everything. John Ivring couldn’t have picked a
better point of view and that is what makes the story.
