Summer Vacation
Everyone kept telling me that a summer trip to Hawaii would be the highlight of my summer. It was the worst week of my life.
My big sister sobbed the whole way to the airport because she would miss her boyfriend. What an overreaction! The trip was six days long! Heâd be there when she got back, but she was convinced she had a ticket to planet loneliness, not Maui. After listening to her cry for six hours, I wanted to send her somewhere else, too.
She started to cheer up when she saw the beaches, but that didnât last long. Our twin little brothers, who often egged each other on to bad decisions, made possibly their worst choice ever: testing how many days they could spend at the beach without wearing any sunscreen. not even one full day before they were so lobster-red that we had to go to the emergency clinic! After that, the beach was off limits. It was totally ridiculous that I couldnât go swimming just because they were too silly to wear sunscreen. I wasnât going to make that mistake. But it didnât matter. Mom decreed, âNo beach for anybody.â
So lucky me, I spent my vacation watching Hawaiian TV and eating take-out food, rubbing lotion on my brothersâ blisters and watching my sister sniffle and text her boyfriend. What a vacation! Next time I visit Hawaii, I think Iâll go alone.
How does the narratorâs choice of words express her attitude toward her sister?
She sympathizes with her sister, saying, âThe trip was six days long!â
She is irritated, but her attitude begins to change when she sees how her sister tries to enjoy the vacation, saying, "She started to cheer up when she saw the beaches."
She thinks her sister was foolish to decide to skip the trip just to be with her boyfriend; the narrator calls that the âworst choice everâ and âtotally ridiculous.â
She is frustrated by her sister, as she expresses when she says, âAfter listening to her cry for six hours, I wanted to send her somewhere else, too.â

The difference between point of view and choice of person in a story is that "person" is the literary name given to main characters in a story, and "point of view" is the perspective from which we view the story "person" is part of a term used to describe the type of narrator (as in first-person or third-person); "point of view" is how the antagonist understands the events of a story the terms are interchangeable; there is really no difference between them "point of view" refers to the perspective from which the story is told; "person" is part of a term used to describe a type of narrator (as in first-person or third-person)
