POV & Perspective

Front

When he was 12 years old, Tom loved nothing better than to build models. Models of planes or ships were the most challenging to build. One summer, the young boy spent every evening working on his model of the Star Ship Enterprise, from the original Star Trek TV series. Instead of playing with his friends, Tom sat at his desk, carefully gluing the tiny plastic pieces in place. When the model was done and mounted on a platform, that starship was perfect. The model even had engine lights that worked! Tom felt so proud. To him, there was nothing like building something with his own two hands.

Gary had never seen so many people at a movie. He tried to move his popcorn out of the way in time, but it was too late! The older kids in the movie theater pushed right into him. The older kids didn't care about Gary. They cared even less about his popcorn, as they knocked it right out of his hands and laughed. Gary knew his dad wouldn't want to buy another bag. He also knew he would probably have to help clean up the mess.
