Author’s Note: In
this creative writing piece for point of view, I will show you the point of
view of another character in the book, Calico Joe by John Grisham.
On a cold Saturday night of baseball, Joe Castle drives a
homerun over the fence and shows off, Warren Tracey the pitcher knows what his
move is next. Calico Joe, by John Grisham, is a book
that talks about how one stupid mistake of a pitcher affected the career of a
young promising baseball player. This
novel Calico Joe, is written in
first person which isn’t the best because you can’t see the point of view of the
other characters. During this piece I
will explain the point of view of Warren Tracey, son of Paul Tracey, to see why
he did some of the things he did.
John Grisham wrote Calico Joe in first person from
the view of Paul Tracey, because of this the reader is affected by only knowing
one person’s side of the story. For example, when Warren Tracey was pitching
Paul was thinking that his father was making a dumb decision and was trying to
ruin somebody’s life. Also, when Paul
was playing baseball, he thought his father was trying to embarrass him. This is because we only hear the point of
view of the child, which makes us think that Warren Tracey is the bad guy. If Calico Joe by John Grisham was
written in the point of view of Warren Tracey ,father of Paul Tracey, people
would think different about him. In the
creative story I will be writing a piece about when Warren Tracey was pitching
against Joe Castle and how he felt.
Wow! Why is Joe Castle showing off? I thought we
were friends. While not anymore, by the
way he is showing off to me. Okay, I
will just relax and throw a strike, here I go. As I wind up, I am thinking
fastball, fastball, fastball. I will put
a little more force on this one. Then I
rear back and release the
baseball in the direction of the plate. Whoosh! The ball was going 95 mph straight at
the batter’s face. Bang, Joe was down.
Oh my gosh, what did I do? I
never hoped to cause this much misery.
