Point of view is one of the literary devices that allows authors to accomplish this purpose. The point of view is the manner in which an author interacts with his/her literary world. It provides a creative avenue for skillful readers to capture and direct the attention of the reader to particular emotions, details, and opinions. Thus, the point of view is simply an angle of considering things as embodies with the manner in which the author narrates a story. This paper provides a clear and concise analysis of the short story Brownies by ZZ packer with particular focus on the point of

For example, when Alexandra finally admitted that she was lonely made me finally realize how strong she was. It takes a lot of guts and bravery to admit your true feelings. Another example is when Emil came back from Mexico and out of nowhere kissed Marie on the lips even though she was married! I never would’ve thought that was gonna happen. I was super happy when it did happen though. Even though they didn’t end up together, i’ve always liked the thought of them being a couple even though she was married. Emil seemed like a better fit for her. Frank seemed like a jerk to Marie. Emil on the other hand, seemed like the man who would take amazing care of Marie and keep her happy. He seemed like the man who would love to have a family with her. He has kept his feelings for her to himself until that very moment where it seemed perfect. He leaned over and kissed her. His love was so very strong that he couldn’t even hold it in anymore. This book is filled with many thrills and ups and downs. It helps you relate and connect with the plot and the characters and makes you understand the whole concept of knowing that being human isn’t all perfect all the time. It shows that you're going to cry sometimes. It shows how there is despair and agony in life. It helps you understand what it truly means to be

Sean Covey an author and motivational speaker once stated, “Seeing things from a different point of view can help us understand why other people act the way they do. We too often judge people without having all the facts.” Authors like Sean Covey understand the power of point of view and use it to help the readers to relate to the characters in stories. For instance, Sandra Cisneros in her short story “Eleven” and O. Henry in his short story “The Skylight Room” effectively utilize more than one point of view in their stories to connect the readers with the characters. In “Eleven” Rachel, a young girl, describes how her teacher forced her to wear somebody else’s sweater on her birthday. Through the application of first and second person point of view, Cisneros creates in the readers a feeling of sympathy for Rachel. Likewise in “The Skylight Room” O. Henry uses first and second point of view to help the reader understand the difficulties of Miss Elise Leeson, who slowly starves as she struggles to earn enough money to pay for her little room. Also, O. Henry writes in third person point of view in order to make his facts and information believable. Both Cisneros and O. Henry write in first and second person point of view to draw the readers into the story and connect them to the characters; however, O. Henry includes third person point of view in order to make it more reliable than Cisneros’s story.

Point of view is the narrator’s position in the story being told. Point of view changes the story drastically, since you are hearing different stories and opinions by different characters in a story. Even if the plot is the same, the point of view will change the entire story. Point of view can also create tension between different characters. For example, if you are hearing the thoughts of one character in the story, and the actions of another character who is aware of these rude thoughts, the reader knows that the two characters tension between each other will eventually rise up to a certain point that a problem will occur. Point of view creates a lot of tension in the two books, Confetti Girl and Tortilla Sun, between the narrator and their parent. Both books

The most significant part of the entire text is that most of the readers will never feel the pain of author. The ability not to be able to relate and understand someone’s struggle is very impactful.

Authors use point of view to send a message. Using different forms of point-of-view sends different messages to the reader. By using point of view effectively, authors can invoke different feelings, emotions, and thoughts in a reader. In The Man from Mars, Margaret Atwood uses the third-person limited point of view to create the feeling of ambiguity seen throughout the short story. This point of view allows the reader to feel the same sense of mystery, danger, and fear that the main protagonist, Christine, feels towards the strange man stalking her. Because of the point of view, the story has this impact. If told from the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person omniscient point of view, the story would be vastly different. By using the 3rd person limited point of view in The Man from Mars, Margaret Atwood allows the reader to feel same sense of mystery that the main character feels while also getting in touch with Christine's inner thoughts.

2. The author’s point of view is from a first-person point of view. An example of this would be when she writes “I have to confess: I was suckered by the trailer for American Sniper” because she wants the public to know that before she really knew who Chris Kyle was, she too saw him as this great American hero and that she gradually saw him as less than the American hero that she and everyone else saw him as, but as more of a person who was just killing because it was fun.

1. a) The point of view in a book is how the author tells the story.

Writing from different viewpoints allows the author, Tim O’Brien, to express himself in a more comfortable manner. Written in this viewpoint, the story is read as a tale instead of an autobiography and the author becomes more distant with the story like he is looking into it rather than writing it.

There are many elements that contribute to the effectiveness of a piece of writing. One element in particular that adds to how effective a piece of writing can be is point of view, which can determine what the reader knows and understands, and how the information given is interpreted. As a result, point of view contributes to character development and the emotional impact of a piece of writing. Marjane Satrapi utilizes the impact that point of view has in her graphic novel Persepolis. The story, which is written as a memoir, includes Marjane herself in the images, which makes the text seem to be told from more of a limited third person point of view, while the narration of the story is told in the first person. By including herself in the

At this point, the narrator finally discovers what the realities of life are. She also discovers deep within herself the reason for her feelings toward her parents at the funeral of Steve Gauley.

You can really feel the despair and grief that the families and friends have cope with, and suddenly you become attached to the memories that are shared. The memories are the most golden parts of the book because they are like the clay that is being built up and once it’s sculpted, you can really see how beautiful the characters were and that sculpture is the preserved reminiscence of the three of them. The author makes it seem like the characters in the story are so real and you feel how they feel in the moment.

Essentially, the point of view allows readers to form a relationship and understanding of characters. The point of view is instrumental in manipulating the readers understanding of the narrative as it can allow or prevent characters from accessing the story objectively. The novel “About a Boy” by Nick Hornby deals with the problems of two different people, both in age and personality. Even though they are different in age, attitudes toward life and personality, they are similar in many different ways (e.g. Both lonely with no friends). The first seven chapters of the book are mainly about Marcus, however, Will; the thirty-six-year-old bachelor is also introduced. Throughout the book, the author adjusts perspectives by switching between characters in first person. This creates a personal relationship with the reader to both of the characters and allows us to get an understanding of point of view and motivations. One example of point of view in the novel occurs after Fiona’s attempted suicide when a narrator tells the reader about Marcus’s thoughts and feelings; saying “this was the scariest thing he had ever seen by a million miles and he knew that he would have to think about it forever (P58)”. Another example of point of view in ‘About a Boy” is when a narrator tells the reader about Will’s attitude towards life and relationships; saying “Great sex, a lot of ego massage, temporary parenthood without tears and a guilt free Parting, what more
