"The Cold Equations" from Marilyn's Point of View


Marilyn just got hired at one of the NASA spaceships as a maintenance lady. Little did everyone else know her brother, over light years away, was going to have a visit. Marilyn decided to sneak on an EDS ship to take a ride and see her brother. She missed him greatly and didn't know the risks it takes to see him. So, on the ship there's only enough fuel for a certain amount of weight. Marilyn messed that weight up and it's either she's dead or her and the pilot is dead. Marilyn only realized the real situation when she talked to her brother. She cried and said goodbye for the last time.

  1. I don't think you read and/or understood the directions correctly.
    You were supposed to include a topic sentence stating the name of the story, the current point of view, and the new point of view.
    Then you had to share at least three details from the story and explain how each would be different if told from Marilyn’s point of view.
    Finally, you were to end with a closing sentence that explains how point of view affects a story.
