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?
