One of the tools a writer uses to tell a story is point of view. That is, WHO is telling the story. Choose a favorite book, TV show, or movie - whose perspective is the story told from? How would the tone and themes of the story change if it were told from another character - or an objective narrator’s - point of view?

If home alone was told of the prospective of kevin's mom it would be different because it wound not focus on kevin and the house.

Mission Impossible is told from the perspective of Ethan Hunt, if it wasn't told from his perspective I think that the story line would be flipped upside down and I think that the characters would be changed along with the objective of the movie.

In one of my favorite books, The Last Kids on Earth, the story is told by the main character. If it was not told by the main character the beginning would be a lot different since all the other characters have there own adventure at the beginning.

One of my favorite books is Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte. This book is told from the perspective of Jane Eyre, a young governess who goes to live at the estate of Thornfield Hall. If the story was told from a different perspective, such as the perspective of her employer, Mr. Rochester, the story and theme would be much different. One of the main ideas of the book is that Jane is very young and going out into the world for the first time, therefore, if the book was from the perspective of someone older and more experienced, it would change the mood of the book. Also, because all her life she has been ignored and talked down to, Jane is timid and does not have much courage, and part of Jane's journey is learning to speak up for herself and gain confidence. So if the story was told from a different perspective, it would change the plot.

Warriors, a cat book. There is several main characters but the most commonly said -or talked about- is Fireheart ( Firestar ) and it is not told my anybody in the story.It would have been strange if the main character was, say... Graystripe.His life he had fallen in love with a member of another Clan, and when she was having her kits she sadly past away.So if the main character would have been him... he would have had a super sad, confusing story.

In STAR WARS the perspective is mainly told from Luke,but if you told it from Vader's perspective it would be so much different.

My favorite books are the I survived books. The books are focused on one kid and If the books were focused on a different character the whole series would be very different plus the books hardly talk about other characters.

One of my favorite movies is Ben - Hur which follows the life of a wealthy jewish man named Juda Ben Hur who is friends with a Roman Tribune named Masahla if the story shone the perspective of him it would be very different and focus on the importance of being a Tribune.

My farvoite movie is Moana, in this movie Moanas village isn't doing well anymore, so she sets to sail to find out what's going on. The problem is that the head Island heart had been stolen years ago,in the end Mona fights the island. I feel like if the story had been told by the mountain, it would start when the heart was stolen and all the things its been through
