Life At Colony Camp

In the short story, “Life at Colony Camp: A Blog” was told from many different points of view, than the reader's understanding of the story would be quite different. For example, in the story, Soledad says that she is excited to take the trip to Mars. This might make the reader have a different opinion about a mission to Mars.

    You are getting told the story from one person’s point of view, have you ever heard the saying, “there are two sides to every story”? Well, even in a short story or book that saying applies also. Just think about it, you are getting all your information from one person, in a way can be considered almost like “bias” information. For example if you were telling a story and it was about two people, one person is your best friend that you love dearly, person A, the other person is the one person in your life you actually cannot stand, person B. When you tell the story and begin to describe them to your audience you are more likely to talk up person A and less likely to talk about how great the person B is, in result can effect how the reader in the story sees the other characters. Just like in “The Happiest Girl in the Whole USA” when Griselda says, “I know just from looking at her that this is her first trip.…

While comparing two stories, the point of view of the narrator is an important point to consider. After analyzing “The Yellow Wallpaper,” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and “The Story of an Hour,” by Kate Chopin it’s clear that: the narrator’s point of view is vital to “The Yellow Wallpaper”, but nowhere near as important to “The Story of an Hour”. Because the “The Yellow Wallpaper” uses first person to narrate the story it helps the reader to understand the reasoning behind the actions and feelings of the protagonist.…
