Point of View

Point of view refers to the relationship between the narrator and the story. It is the voice that presents and interprets events for readers. The types of details readers receive as well as their understanding of them depend upon who is reporting them. Think about it. Would your best friend describe you in exactly the same way your parents would?

Now, it’s your turn. Describe a tree from a unique point of view. Imagine that you are an ant, termite, poison ivy, woodpecker, owl, robin, squirrel, mole, bear, cat, dog, carpenter, ax, sculptor, chair, kite, airplane, wind, apple, acorn, sidewalk,—anything that has a relationship with a tree. In 120 words or less, describe a tree from your unique point of view. Write what you see, hear, smell, feel, taste, or think about the tree.
