Deadly Little Voices.
Author's Note: this is my second attempt to my Point of View. This time, I have decided to do it on my recent book, Deadly Little Voices.

 Have you ever been eager to help someone out? Even though you know you haven't done them any good? Have you ever been warned by voices in your head? The voices are telling you something is going to go wrong, and you want to make it right?

Camellia has. Her whole teenage life has been nothing but a blur between reality and dreams. Lately, all her visions have been leading up to one thing, Danica. Camellia thinks that its her duty to protect Danica from any danger headed her way. As Camellia is trying to gather clues on what might happen to Danica, Danica refuses to talk to her. Danica's reason is Camellia was in the popular group called the Candies. One day the Candies went with some guys to Danica's house. The guys were calling out to Danica to have her come outside. When she stepped outside onto her porch, they attacked her with avocados. Camellia wasn't one of the people throwing them, but she feels  guilty because she just stood there and didn’t do anything to help her. Now Camellia is doing everything in her power to try to make it up to Danica by trying to save her.

This book is based on Camellia's point of view. When reading this book you see Camellia is a girl who is having a really hard time with coming to terms with the drastic change in her life, she is gaining new "powers" that allow her to see in the future. She is trying to help Danica but is not having any success. The reader can't see Danica's point of view. It's hard see Danica's feelings on how awkward it is to have some random girl she doesn’t know following her everywhere and not realizing the girl is just trying to help her. You can tell by the way Danica talks in the book that she is completely uncomfortable with Camellia stalking her .

Now, if the book was based on Danica's point of view, it would be a completely different story. Imagine what it would be like being in her shoes. She has this girl one day come to her house, school and job harassing her with many questions saying that she is in danger. How would you react to a stranger approaching you? Telling you that you are in danger! On top of it, everyone in school is talking about how crazy Camellia is.

As you can tell, the point of view in this book depends on the opinion of the readers. This book can change people's perspectives a lot regarding different situations. As the point of view changes, so does the story. Camellia and Danica are different people, with completely different thoughts on things in life. Camellia thinks she's helping,  but Danica thinks she crazy. What would you think if you were in either one of these girls shoes?
