Writing Exercise

Practice using and understanding point-of-view and how it works with this writing exercise:

Look at some of the stories you have written and try to see what would happen to them if they were told from a different point of view. Or write a new short story just for this exercise and try it from as many points-of-view as possible.

Compare the results and analyse what is missing from each point-of-view used. What works and what doesn't? This exercise will help you understand why one point-of-view works or does not work in one particular story.
