Perspective (Journal Entry #81)


Perspective decides the angle of a person’s understanding and comprehending toward an event. Our perspective can also change the meaning of and event due to our different background. Our perspectives come from distinct and accumulated life experiences. Thus, everyone has a different perspective and comments for different events.

A writer, when writing a true story, describes things emotionally and honestly. He usually tells what he thinks of a person, a place, or an event. A writer’s connection and relationship to the people or places in the story are specifically important because they decide readers’ perspectives through the way things are described and characterized.

A memoir is based on personal observations and inward knowledge. Unlike a biography or a history account that bases the writing on external achievements of a person or an event. Memoir is mostly about the writer’s feeling and perspective toward an event. It does not simply state the truth, but with emotions and deeper feelings.

When reading books, readers see an event through the writer’s perspective. It is always a good experience to see the world in a different angle. Perspective has an effect on readers to understand other’s feelings and thoughts in a different interpretation and attitude.
