Discussion: Perspective
3 6
Write
Now it is your turn to play around with perspective. Select a story or event
and re-tell it from another perspective. You don’t have to be 100% factual.
One of the easiest things to work with is a fairy tale (such as telling the story
of Cinderella from the step-sisters’ point of view), but you are not restricted
to that genre. Other ideas include re-telling a historical even from the non-
victor’s perspective or telling a story from a non-main character point of
view (such as in the previously mentioned musical Wicked or the book The
Other Einstein).
You can have fun with this and take the newscaster’s perspective as he/she
waits for cue cards or stumbles on pronouncing an unknown name. You
might even tell about an earthquake or hurricane from the story of a dog as
opposed to the normal perspective of its human owner. Be creative if you
want!

Hi! My name is Janet. I live in the town of Birdwell Island. It was a normal
day when I saw the house next to me was sold, I was glad to get new
neighbors. But I had no idea what was coming our way. At first, it looked
like a normal family with a mom, dad, and a little girl my age named Emily
Elizabeth then I met their pet it was a cute red dog named Clifford.
Clifford seemed nice but he was a really big dog almost the size of a
house.
Living with a big dog next door is very challenging. When he wags his tail,
the breeze can knock over stuff in our yard. Or when he gets a bath, he
gets water all over his yard and ours, and when he shakes it out it feels
like it is raining. And when you are trying to relax in the sun, he will block
the sun without realizing what he is doing. And when he licks you, you
end up soaked in slobber.
But it’s not all bad having Clifford next door. There is no need to go to
the park when you have Clifford. He will let us slide down his back like a
giant slide. or we can climb all over him like a jungle gym. We can swing
from his tail and when you are feeling down, he will let you curl up and
cuddle with him.
I can’t wait to see what fun Clifford brings tomorrow.
From the perspective of the next-door neighbor of Clifford the big red
dog.

Everyone has heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood. Or so they think
they have! But has anyone heard my side of the story? My name is Walter
T. Wolf. I was walking along in the woods one sunny day, just minding my
own business, when out of nowhere appears a little girl wearing a red
cape with a hood. I politely said hello to her and asked her where she
was going on this fine day. She told me that she was going to visit her
sick grandmother. I thought that was so kind of her and told her what a
sweet girl she was and smiled. Suddenly, my stomach started growling
something terrible. It’s not my fault that wolves eat small animals and
humans!
All I could think about was how tasty the grandmother would be, and I
decided to run to her house and gobble her up! After I gobbled her up, I
put her glasses and night cap on my head and crawled into
grandmother’s bed. Just then, the little girl in the red cape came into the
house. She thought that I was her grandmother. It’s not my fault that she
thought I was her grandmother. She got really close to me, so I jumped
out of bed and gobbled her up too. Just then, a woodsman comes in and
grabs me by my ankles and shakes me upside down. I lost the little girl
and the grandmother. went running out of the house and ran for life out
of the woods. It was such a scary experience and now I am still hungry!

I have always loved to travel, but my adventuring was not always a
popular choice with my family. Being a member of an empath race can
be hard on everyone when you feel the desperate need to explore. So,
when I took off on my latest trip and my ship crashed following an engine
malfunction, I knew I was in for it if I ever did get home. I knew the
longer I was away, the sicker I would feel, I had lost communications in
the crash, so there was no way to send for a rescue ship. I found myself
on a planet inhabited by the strangest of creatures, who clearly did not
have the technology available for me to be able to make repairs or
contact my planet. But I was grateful to be able to breathe, I was
uninjured, so I had hope.
My priority was to find anything resembling kimble, because I was
starving after the adrenaline rush of crashing and discovering I had
survived. I needed to find shelter quickly, away from my crashed ship,
which I knew would be discovered soon. I had no idea if the inhabitants
of the planet would be hostile, there were a few strange small furry ones
that for the most part ignored me, so I decided to keep myself hidden in
the undergrowth until it got dark and then I set off to explore. There were
so many sounds and lights, I was terrified to move, but as usual, my
stomach won the argument and I soon found myself picking up the scent
of kimble in the distance. And that is how I met my Elliott.
Looking back, I realize how lucky I was. Of all the humans to come
across, I found the one human boy who would risk so much for me, even
fighting his own kind to keep me safe. The younger humans are filled
with so much love and empathy that I realize they are not that so
different to us. I had so much fun living in their habitat. They dressed me
up, shared their food and took me on great bike adventures, but I missed
home so badly.

home so badly.
Elliott is such a clever young human, he loved to read texts that he called
comics and he allowed me to study them when he was out at school. One
of the comics showed me that I had judged these young humans too
quickly. They had clearly attempted communication with other planets
before, so Elliott and I started to work on a ‘phone home’ and I began to
believe that there was a chance I might make it back to the green planet.
On Halloween monster night, the young humans dress up to scare the
older ones, for fun. There was kimble being given out everywhere, the
children were running from dwelling to dwelling, scoffing it down and
laughing, it was so tempting to join in. But I was so determined to test
our newly made device, I wasn’t going to let sugar be my undoing. It was
so bumpy riding in the bike basket, I was sure the device would fall apart.
Elliott and I held our breath and pushed the button. The test was a
success, I made the call. I was elated and devastated all at the same
time. I knew I only had a few minutes left before I would be able to head
back to my planet, but I loved my little human friend and did not want to
leave him behind. I so desperately wanted him to come with me, but I
knew that his planet needed him on Earth.
I know that both of our planets have benefitted from our friendship and
love of each other, I will never forget him. I hope that one day, he can tell
his story, so the whole of Earth can hear of our unlikely friendship. Maybe
one day, I will get to see you again Elliott…

I always loved roses, the way they glistened in the morning dew, they
smelt so precious as I walked through a field of freshly rained on, dewy
grass to get to town. People complain about the bread being stale and
the eggs being expensive, But I come to town for the people any people,
after mum and pa send me away after wanting to write my own books, I
haven’t had much inspiration especially since people around here don’t
have enough spirit in them to even stray from their stringent routine. I try
to visit my favorite place in which I can be everywhere at the same time,
a quaint library I politely say good morning to Monsieur Jean as I trace
the walls for inspiration, I want more for me I think, I need more. When I
leave, I hear the Madams gossip of the town talking about a witch that
can grant any wish if you pass her test. I feel my body awaken with joy, as
I set out to look for what I’ve always wanted: A choice.
See, mum and pa wanted a quaint life for me cooking and cleaning for
my husband while taking care of the kids, all I wanted was to settle down
in a cottage with me and my husband sitting by a fireplace feeling the
warmth on our skin, with hot cocoa slipping easily down our throats while
we cuddle up close with a book, my book. But my parents thought I was
crazy, not for just wanting to be a writer but, also for not wanting kids. I
shake the sadness of my parent’s disappointment and set off to find the
witch. As I walk down the freezing path toward the place, I overheard the
directions for I see an old lady in a white coat, shivering in the cold. “Are
you alright?” I ask. “I’m just so cold” she replies. That’s when I realize

you alright?” I ask. “I’m just so cold” she replies. That’s when I realize
she didn’t have a white coat on but was covered with snow. I rush over
and brush the fallen snow off as I see she has no coat underneath, I
immediately put my coat on her. “Oh no I can’t accept this” she rejects,
“Nonsense, your freezing” I counter, and she accepts. “What is a young
girl like you doing out here?” she wonders. “I was looking for a witch, but
that can wait while I get you somewhere warm” I reply and urge her back
the way I came. “Wait, what would you ask for?” she wonders aloud.
Something in this stranger’s eyes makes me feel at home like I can trust
her and I begin to say “Love” it comes out silent and squeaky but, she
heard me and smiles “Don’t you know love comes from within” she says
as she turns around and I see a beautiful creature with long white locks,
deep purple eyes that I am captivated by as she speaks, “Your wish will
be granted, only a few have passed my test” before I can speak I am
sleeping, I wake unable to move. I want to scream, I want to cry, I want
to run, but I can’t. What did she do to me?
I see the old lady I help and try to speak but my voice only comes out in
thoughts. “Don’t strain yourself” she tells me. We arrive at the forbidden
castle as the witch knocks, I hear faint music playing in the background,
the witch enters and offers a rose to the prince in exchange for a place to
stay, the prince mocks the witch but as she changes from his disbelief is
unbearable, he falls on his knees in agony. The witch gives me to the
prince who she has turned into a beast. She says I am to be a
representation of the life he has left. She has tied me to this beast! I
passed the test and I get cursed too! How is this fair!? The Beast gets
discouraged as the years go by and has trapped me in a glass dome,
while the life slowly bleeds out of me. Then the faithful day I prayed for
came a girl, maybe the one that can break our curse, it’s a girl she
happened upon me whilst being suspicious of the beast I assumed. But
what I never figured out was why she chose to explore the castle instead
of escaping it. She quickly leaves before the beast can return “Did she

of escaping it. She quickly leaves before the beast can return “Did she
come in here” he asks, a stupid question considering the witch took away
my speech, yes, I reply in my head as yet another petal is released from
my already thinly appearance.
The next day, the beast is getting ready for a ball, this is the happiest I’ve
ever seen him, and the girl seems to have changed him in some way I
can’t put my finger on. A few days later I have even less energy than
before, I feel I might slip into the darkness of my thoughts. But suddenly,
I wake to fire and loud banging, someone is storming the castle I hear
the violence of men’s swords clashing as they storm their way upstairs, I
feel too weak to try to hold on any longer, as the beast, bloody with sword
slashes knocks over my dome, leaving me defenseless and surrounded by
shards of glass. I guess our fates are intertwined, I think as I am ready to
let go at that moment. Mademoiselle comes to aid the beast and kisses
him with her supple lips, and I feel a rush of warmth as I accept my true
form no longer a rose, and the prince no longer a beast.

These human’s really need to wake up! The sun is shining, the birds are
chirping, this new little human is screaming yet here they are, snoozing it

chirping, this new little human is screaming yet here they are, snoozing it
up. I have an idea! I am going to lick their faces to help them realize its
four in the morning and it is time to seize the day.
Yes, I knew it would work. You are welcome little human; mom is now
making you breakfast, and dad is getting you a fresh pair of underwear.
Now I am going to awkwardly stair at them while pacing back and forth.
They should get the message that I am ready to take them on their
morning walk. I know just how much they love these walks that I take
them on. I get the chance to teach them how to go to the bathroom
outside, show them how good duck poop tastes, and even how to chase
squirrels. It is such a great exercise to chase down squirrels. I have not
been able to personally get one but if my humans watch and learn I hope
that they get the chance to make me proud one day. Ever since my new
little human came home the walks have been a little slower because he
cannot use his legs just yet, but it is a great idea to get him started at
such a young age. He is going to be a pro soon. Wow, I was so busy
thinking about what I can teach my humans I lost train of thought and
now I already walked them home. I am tired anyway; I’m just going to
take a nap.
Woah, who is ringing that bell? Don’t they realize I am sleeping? So rude,
I cannot wait for one of my humans to let them know they woke me up.
Wait a second, what is that smell? Wow! It smells like nachos and
burritos. That is so nice of them to buy me my favorite lunch. Wait, why
are they eating it? I thought they bought that lunch for me. Time for that
awkward stare again. If I stare long enough, I know that will get the
message across. Success, a crunchy nacho, so good! A second one? I am
so lucky! These two do really love me. I know how to repay them for this
delicious lunch. I am going to take them back outside.
Oh wow, the sun has gotten so much hotter since I took them for a walk
this morning. I hope they know I am going to call this outside trip a short
one. Hey, why did they throw that ball? It is a really nice ball. I am going

one. Hey, why did they throw that ball? It is a really nice ball. I am going
to get that for them so we can go inside. Seriously, you threw it again.
What did this ball ever do to you? I better get it since they are just
standing there. Ok, this getting a little silly. I got the ball for him, and he
threw it a third time. I do not understand why he keeps doing this. Woah!
A squirrel! I cannot miss this opportunity. I am going to get this one, I
just know it. Dang, better luck next time. That is right, I need to get that
ball for my human. Well, first this looks like a good spot to go to the
bathroom. Ok, I am going to grab the ball but this time, I am not going to
give it to the human. I am going to walk right by them, and they should
follow me inside so we can get back in the AC. It worked! I knew it would.
Do you know what, I am going to take a nap so we can get tomorrow
started and I can take them for a walk in the morning.

I am tall, full of pine combs, and sway in the wind. I’m living my best life
right now. I look around and see nothing but pines in rows for what
appears to be endless miles. I see squirrels, deer, and even planes. What
else could one pine tree need to see to ….ouch, ouch I say! What is going
on? Why are all the bushes around me burning? Why are all the animals
fleeing? What is happening to me? What are all these machines doing
out here? Why are the pines next to me being hauled away? Where is
everyone going?
I have come to realize it is my time. I must be cut down so people of all
ages can use me for paper. Children will be able to scribble, color, paint,
and learn how to write using me. I will be covered in vibrant colors,
become a small child’s first piece of artwork, and a college students first,
second and final draft of an essay. I may even get the chance to become
a teenagers diary and learn a bunch of secrets. Man, this is exciting!
Now that I have been cut down, processed, and placed into packs of
plastic or in notebooks, I will be shipped off to several different stores all
over this country. Can we say road trip? Or wait, maybe I will get to ride
in one of those planes that once flew over me. I did not realize that I was
going to be able to make this many people happy, after all I was just one
pine tree swaying in the wind.
I am living my best life. I am so excited! Can you see me? I am on the
fridge, the bedroom wall, and in a binder waiting to be graded for a very
important essay. Christy even made a diary out of me last week and I tell
you what, that chick has so many stories to share. I never realized I
would have such an impact on everyone that bought me. What is even
better is once I am recycled I will get to do this all over again for many
years to come.
