A Different Point Of View

Authors Note: In this piece I will explain how different point of views affects the reader and how the story would change if it was told from a different character in the story.

Books are only told from one point of view either from the first person or from  the third person. And we wonder how other characters in the book feel from their point of view. The book Dark Secrets By Elizabeth Chandler has a first person point of view and it’s about how Laura, the main character is going through a hard time after her mom died and she feels like the only people she has left in her life which were her aunt and her 2 cousins were  going against her and making her feel she’s all alone. This book can be told from many different point of views from different characters.

The point of view is originally told from the main character and how they see the story through their eyes. Just like Laura and how it was told from her point of view. She felt as one of her cousins was responsible for  murdering her mother  and she knew that there was something going on and she didn’t know about. She started to see how everyone was being unusual in front of her and that affected her to act a little strange which caused her aunt and cousins to think that she was going crazy. But this would change if it was told from another point of view.

From a different point of view you can see how the characters see the story. For example Laura’s cousin would see Laura going a little crazy and not acting like herself , they thought she was the one that needed help. Not only that but they thought that she wasn’t over her mother’s murder . They would also think that she was seeing things and imaging things because she would receive these notes that would scare her way to much that made her starting to act different and she got an to an accident and thought that  someone was there out to kill her but it was just something on the road that made her car go off and hit the side of the road.

Mostly books are told from the main character point of view. But, when the readers are reading books they also have a point of view. When they are reading a book that has a twist in it the readers think that the one person is better than the other since It’s based on the characters point of view. that’s why in most books the main character has only their point of view and that’s why the readers would have the same point of view as the main character in the book.

Any book you read there can many different point of view from the different character in the book and since most of the book have the main character as the person telling the story that’s affects the reader also because they have the same point of view as the main character in the book. Just how the readers would feel if they read Dark Secrets.
