A Different Thought

A Different Thought
Author's Note ~ this shows how the point of view the book is in can cause the reader to feel different opinions of some of the characters.

Darryl looked at him green-eyed, showing the envious he can't hide. He scurried to his father's car immediately after batting practice ended. He left with a jealously frown on his face, wanting to take his frustration out on the kind Hutch.

Supporting the creative scene, The Big Field point of view is written in Hutch's point of view. Hutch's point of view is that Darryl is jealous of him because he got nominated team captain on their baseball team. Also, in Hutch's point of view it shows that Darryl is sort of a nasty type of guy.

 Understanding Hutch's point of view, from Hutch's perspective, the reader gets the impression that Darryl is a very jealous guy. For instance, from the part where Hutch gets nominated team captain. Hutch got nominated team captain and Darryl didn't, which then the story lead to Darryl went and sat on the bench by himself. He sat on the bench by himself and mostly ignored everyone around him including his baseball coaches. And then left batting practice without saying a good-bye to anyone.

 While the impression gives the reader different opinions, If this story was told in Darryl's point of view, though, we wouldn't think he was a jealous guy. Instead we would think that all along Hutch was the one jealous. Perhaps we would see that Darryl is a very kind and carrying person to everyone because Darryl wouldn't want everyone to see that side of him that Hutch shows. Now I will show a creative scene of what the book would be like of it was in Darryl's point of view.

Arriving to batting practice, Hutch stared at me in an angry fashion. I kept continuing to stare until suddenly he looked away. I had a bad feeling he was going to get me back somehow and I wasn't looking forward to whatever was going to happen. Hutch seems to have this look in his eyes that he's mad at me, but I am not going to worry about it because it is just a jealously thing. And I don't hang around people that are jealous.
After fully understanding the concept, this book is a great example of showing how just putting the book in a different point of view can cause you to think differently towards the other characters. There are not just jealously type point of views. There are multitudes of different point of views.
