Every person has their own point of view and just like experiences of life shape our points of view. They also influence what we like, what we don't like, and our thoughts. Points of view can be shared and expressed in multiple ways. For example, movies, songs, plays, and more specifically the novel Crash Into You by Katie McGarry. Novels have an illuminating episode which shows the author's point of view throughout the story. The illuminating episode in this novel is when Rachel’s father, one of the main characters, confronts her and her boyfriend, Isaiah, about their relationship and the trouble they got themselves into because it shows that the author believes true love will surpass any obstacle, you should always stand firm in what you believe, and never let others tell you what's good for you.

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
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.

In this short excerpt from The Scarlet Letter describing the meeting of Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale, the author—without the use of any dialogue—details their mental states and his attitudes towards them.

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
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.
Change. Adaption. Strength. In Black Beauty: An Autobiography Of A Horse by Anna Sewell, Black Beauty is terribly treated and wants to be a wild horse.

This upcoming presidential election includes a diverse pool of candidates, with a wide variety of opinions coming from different backgrounds. There is one candidate that stands out among the rest: Vermont senator Bernie Sanders. He has decades of experience in politics, which is immensely important for someone holding the position of President. During his time in public service he has demonstrated that he is committed, strong, productive, fair, and honest. Sanders relies on his policies and ideas significantly more than flaunting a charming personality to gain support, and he is able to do this because he has always put a lot of consideration into the decisions he makes. Furthermore, he has always been a strong supporter of quality of opportunity, which is the political ideal advocating the view that the assignment of individuals to places in the social hierarchy is determined by some form of competitive process; all members of society are eligible to compete on equal terms. As president, Sanders would take many steps toward improving this aspect of society. He recognizes that currently there is great disparity in the balance of power, and he has consistently fought towards making the U.S.A. a country where everyone is well taken care of and has access to what they need. If Sanders becomes president, he will fight for everyone to have an equal chance of achieving their own American Dream.

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
John Lee Hancock’s film, The Blind Side, is an absolutely must see. The Blind Side, is a semi biographical movie that is based on the life of a football player named Michael Oher.

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.
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
