In a traditonal sense, point-of-view is the lens through which the reader enters the story. Some stories are told from first person (“I”). Other are told in third person, from one character’s perspecitive, or multiple characters’. Yet others are told through a narrator who sees and understand the multiple perspectives of all the characters.
In another sense, however, point-of-view might also have to do with the writer, that person how is hiding behind the computer screen tapping away. In her craft talk, British writer Zadie Smith speaks about her own identity and how it has informed her writing.
After watching the video, I’d like you to apply something that Smith says about writing to the short story you are working on. In particular, I’d like you to focus on something in your story that you changed, added, or re-imagined. In other words, to what extent does YOUR identity inform your writing? In your response, please refer to specific moments in the video by referencing the time code (eg 10:01) along with a quote.
