Who is the Story Teller?

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, a boy named Roy just moved into town. He is new to school and already has some enemies.  Roy also has some good friends that are nice most of the time; however, they do get him stuck in some tough situations.

  In the story “Hoot” there are three main characters.  The story would have been a whole lot different if it were told from another character’s point of view. The story is being told from Roy’s point of view which changes the tone and events of the story. For example Roy is normally ether at school or at his house, or running around with Beatrix, or at the construction site where they are going to dig up the owl’s home.

  One example would be that since Mullet Fingers lives in the woods than most of the story and events that took place woods. Instead of talking about Roy at his day at school I would be about Mullet Fingers day catching snakes. The tone of the story would be much different to because it would probably be told in a different person.

  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.
