The point of view in this book was in Jane’s perspective. Jane is the main character, and she kind of narrates the story in her head through her emotions and feelings.
I think that it was important for this novel to be in Jane’s point of view because she doesn’t think much or talk much about herself. If it had been in Mimi’s point of view for example, it would have been all about Mimi and wouldn’t have captured the characteristics and descriptions of the other characters. Jane is also very curious about things, and she is very smart and watchful to point out important things that take an important part in the story. I really liked this novel from Jane’s perspective.
The part when the earthquake occurs was really intriguing when it was in Jane’s point of view. I think that it was really interesting and touching, in a way. I was able to understand Jane’s thoughts and feelings as the earthquake happened. For example, when Mimi grabbed onto Jane and held her close to protect her, Jane expressed that she felt safer when she was near Mimi. Jane also explained her feelings when her family was around Tesla, who is an inventor, and he was the one that caused the earthquake. Tesla seemed like a father figure to her, and she felt really safe around him. He was very kind and cared about her family.
Another event that made Jane’s point of important was when she first met Thad. It seemed like Jane was in love with Thad when she first laid eyes on him. It is really sweet how Jane feels so close to Thad, and how it is in her perspective makes it very intriguing. I liked this part because Jane isn’t used to people giving her attention and worrying about what she wants. But Thad really cared for Jane and made her feel important.
The last event that I thought really made Jane’s point of view important, was when the Titanic is sinking. Jane wasn’t worrying about saving herself. She was only worried about saving the lives of her sisters. When this whole event was happening, Jane’s feelings and emotions really made this part exciting to read. I think that if this part was told from a different character’s point of view, it wouldn’t have been as interesting, and it wouldn’t have captured the love that Jane has for her family members.
I really liked that this book was told from Jane’s point of view. Jane is my favorite character, and I think that she ties the whole story together.
