Point of View                                                                                          .

Author's Note: this is an essay talking about one book, from two different people's point of view. This is my Point Of View Essay.

In Pilgrims Don’t Wear Pink by Stephanie Kate Strohm, the point of view is based off of Libby, the main character. Now, I believe that if the book was based on someone else's point of view from the story, the whole plot and book be completely different. There might be some similarities, but I don’t think anything will be exactly alike.

Libby is a girl who left her house, best friend, and life behind so she could go to a historical museum for the summer. It was hard to leave, but she thought she should go to 'better her education.' When she gets there, she feels left out, like loner or somebody who doesn’t belong there. There is only  two people she gets along with, Suze and Cam. Suze and Cam were the only people who Libby got along with. Ashling and Garret are the complete opposite.

By the book being in Libby's perspective, they might interoperate that Garret is just some idiot guy. He doesn’t have a goal in life. That Garret's just some guy that sits on his couch and plays video games. And that she is just some angel, and she's so innocent. If we saw it from Garret's point of view, then we might see how good of a person he is. And hoe Libby didn't even give him a chance. That Libby was just another blonde that doesn’t know anything at all. He probably sees her as a distraction.

I believe the story would be different from  Garret's point of view. Because by the book only being in Libby's point of view, we are only seeing one side of the story. If the book were to be on Garret's side, it would be different. Like different opinions, different perspectives of stuff. One of the reason's they would have different opinions on people and stuff, is because they are two different people. Another is because I think Garret has known the people at the museum longer, so he could possibly have years of reason's why he doesn’t like them or it.

So, the overall reason why Pilgrim's Don’t Wear Pink would be a different story form different points of view;  is simply because everyone is different In their own ways. People see things differently than others. Not everything is going to be the same. 

When Libby got called down to the room for the staff meeting, she didn’t know what to think. She had absolutely no idea what that was about.  When she got there, things had to settle down before the Manager started talking. That was when she first saw/  meet Garret. At first she didn't like him, she thought he was a no good writer who is just full of himself. Then the best part came up, guess who Libby had to spend the rest of the summer with..? Garret. But part of her was happy that it happened because it got her out of her other place with Ashling. Libby and Garret had to move in to the boat for a story Garret was going to write about real life ghost sightings. Libby was not happy, but at the same time she was jumping for joy because that way she didn't have to deal with Ashling's drama. Before she completely gave up, she decided to give him a chance. At first, he wasn’t making that be possible. But after the showdown, they became, kind of like.. Friends. They didn’t hate each other anymore. Libby started to talk to him and spend more time with him.

Now if this was put in Garret's perspective, it would be different. Now, when the meeting was held, when he saw Libby, he thought she was just this stupid blonde who doesn't know anything about history and stuff. When the Manager announced that they were going to be spending the rest of the summer together, he wasn't angry or he didn’t think his whole summer was ruined. He was a little upset, all up until he got to know her. As soon as a little bit of time passed, he feel for her. Garret became all sensitive and started to be sweet towards her.
