Who
is the story teller
Have you ever wanted to know what it would be like if a story that you
liked was told in a different point of
view? Well the point of view is an important component in telling a story. It
can really change the mood of the reader and the tone of the character.
In the story “Hoot” there are three main characters but the story would
have been a whole lot different if it were told in another characters point of
view. The story is being told from Roy’s point of view, now if it were to be
told from Mullet Finger’s point of view than there would have been more and
different events in the story.
For example since Mullet Fingers lives in the woods most of the story
and events that took place in the story would have been in the woods. Instead
of talking about Roy at his day at school I would be about Mullet Fingers day
catching snakes or when he was running and maybe saw a strange boy being choked
on a bus watching him through the bus window.
Another example is if the story were to be
told from Beatrix’s point of view. But some of the story would be the same as
Roy’s point of view because They are together throughout most of the story and
if it weren’t for Beatrix and Mullet Fingers than Roy wouldn’t have heard about
the awls house being dug up.
As you can see from my examples, the point of view can change the tone
and events of a story. It can change the tone because certain characters may
have a different tone than others, and they aren’t always going to be in the
same spot as everybody else they have their own activities so that is how it
can change the events.
