Task #4

Change Point of View and Dance: Experiments in Narration

Goal: To show you how changing the point of view dramatically affects how the material reads. (It's not just a case of doing a universal search and replace of "I" for "he" or "she." Different things enter or come out of the material depending on the point of view that you use. 

What to do: 1. Pick an incident that has happened to you in the past month or so- something that has stuck in your mind, although for what reason you're not quite sure. 

2. Tell about the event in three different ways: first person point of view, second person point of view, and third person omniscient point of view. 

 

Add this to your writer's portfolio.
