Has it ever happened to you where someone thinks you're a youthful kid but you don't think so? The main character in the heartbreaking Story “April Morning” by Howard Fast is kind of like the main character in the adventurous book “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton. These two characters have nearly the same change in the book.
In the beginning of the book “The Outsiders” Ponyboy the main character is in a state of youth. Throughout the book he remains in a state of youth until Johnny and Dally two of his best friends end up in the hospital. He really changes from the event because he realizes that they wouldn’t be in this mess if it wasn’t for his childish decisions.
That is just like “April Morning” because Adam isn’t the man of the house in the beginning of the book because his father is alive. So you could say he is in a state of youth too just like Ponyboy. In the middle of the book the courageous Battle of Lexington occurs. Adam’s father was shot and killed. From there on, the moment his father was struck down by a musket, he became the man of the house or he became a man. No more young foolish acts were tolerated.
Once you become a man there is no turning back. Both of them in the story took and adventure into change, which was adulthood.
Good point
