Perspectives (11)

I have now gotten myself on a tangent about perspective. In the few literature classes I've had, I've learned that many writers write to open our minds and give us different perspectives. It is seen very often actually. An example that comes to my mind is the book Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. You all know the story so I'm not going to summarize it for you, sorry. (If you don't know the story then go read it, Foo!) There are some very interesting ideas that can give a view of different perspectives on their own but what stands out most to me, is that After Ender's Game, Card then wrote the exact same story but the only thing that was different was that the story was told by Ender's good ol' buddy, Bean. Thus giving us Ender's Shadow. Funny thing about the book is that when you read it, you don't feel like you're reading Ender's Game. It's crazy! If you don't believe me, tough! Go try it! You'll see how much more you can learn from one experience if you look at it in a different way.

Other Tangent... I should just summarize Ender's Game to score another blog post... naw ;)
