Point of View Stories

Point of View stories are stories that are seen from one character's point of view. An example would be the story of the 3 Little Pigs. We all know the story from the pigs' point of view, but the story changes when it's written from the wolf's point of view like in the book The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs. You could rewrite any fairy tale from the view of the bad guy and write it as they would tell the story. In Cinderella, how would the story be told from the stepmother's point of view? Here is an example of a point of view story.

The Soccer Game

The score of the game was 3-3 and it was the last five minutes of the game. I was dribbling the ball down the field, when all of a sudden my shoe came untied. I was at the top of the eighteen-yard box, when I felt it. I knew I was going down. Parents were screaming "Shoot it! Shoot it!" " If only I could toepoke the ball into the back of the net," I thought. " Maybe if I do a move to fake out the goalie before I hit the ground, I could make her move one way and kick it the other way," I said to myself. So I did my best to fall one way and I faked out the goalie, then toepoked it from the ground and it went just wide of the goal. Fortunately, the referee thought the other team fouled me in the box and asked me if I was okay. Since I said yes, I got to take my P.K.{Penalty kick}. I took my time and did what my coach told me to do. " Set up the ball how I want to kick it," I told myself. The referee blew his whistle. " Now take a deep breath and count to three." I did. " Draw a line from where I want to shoot the ball and don’t change your mind" I said to myself. I did all of that and the goalie dived the other way I kicked the ball, and guess what happened? It went into the back of the net! I scored! I had just scored just as the referee blew his whistle! I had become a hero for my team and won the game. The score had become 4-3, and I felt really proud of myself. So were my parents.
