1. The purpose of this work is to inform the public that Chris Kyle isn’t really this great American hero, but instead a killer who takes pleasure in what he does during his time in the military. For example, she talks a lot about what Chris Kyle wrote in his memoir and how we can start to see that he isn’t the hero that he was made out to be. She quotes from his book that he writes “I couldn’t give a flying fuck about the Iraqis” because he only saw them as the bad people and not human beings.
2. The author’s point of view is from a first-person point of view. An example of this would be when she writes “I have to confess: I was suckered by the trailer for American Sniper” because she wants the public to know that before she really knew who Chris Kyle was, she too saw him as this great American hero and that she gradually saw him as less than the American hero that she and everyone else saw him as, but as more of a person who was just killing because it was fun.
3. The writer feels the need to write because she wants her readers to understand that Chris Kyle isn’t the great American hero that we all see him as. For example, she writes that “they call for the rape or

I think that the audience is the American public and I can tell by the way she is writing because she is writing in a way that helps people understand where she is coming from when she writes this. For example she writes “There is no room for the idea that Kyle might have been a good soldier but a bad guy; or a mediocre guy doing a difficult job badly; or a complex guy in a bad war who convinced himself he loved killing to cope with an impossible situation; or a straight-up serial killer exploiting an oppressive system that, yes, also employs lots of well-meaning, often impoverished, non-serial-killer people to do oppressive things over which they have no control” because she wants to show the reader that there are many different ways that you can view him and not one of them is right or

Introduction: Throughout the book of Into The Wild Chris McCandless is known to be a wacko reckless idiot, and is also known to be courageous and heroic. However does a courageous person go out into the wilderness knowing that the outcome will be fatal? People viewed him from different perspectives and also have broad range of opinions of this young man. Some deemed him to be incredibly dim-witted or a man that simply just followed his heart. Evidence shows that Chris McCandless is actually a mix of both. The first opinion that described McCandless was brainless, idiotic, and extremely foolish. Many passages from Into The Wild can support this outlook.

My name is Kyle. I am a golden retriever who was chasing tail and got lost in the busy streets of Bronson. Pine Street to be exact, which is not a very good street to be on for a dog like me. I found a lady dog whose name was “annabelle”. She helped me find the subway dumpster. She walked me through the way of the streets and how it all worked. And this is how it all changed.
It all started at the movies for Kyle Cooper. As a kid, Kyle sat transfixed to horror
Point of view is an integral tool that is used by authors to express an individual’s feelings, emotions, and thoughts throughout the story. It gives the reader an understanding of a character’s development. The first person point of view is limited to one character as it draws the reader into the mind of one character’s thoughts and emotions. Third person narration may be omniscient or limited. The third person omniscient tells the story in which the narrator is aware of the thoughts and feelings of all the characters, while limited third person is restricted to the thoughts of certain characters. The use of the first person narration and third person limited omniscient may at first seem restraining because it only presents one or a limited number of character’s thoughts and feeling. However, the use of first person narration in “Cathedral” and the use of limited third person perspective in “The Handsomest Man Drowned in the World,” is effective because both provides a deeper insight into character’s feelings, thoughts, and opinions. These choices of narration also aid a reader in relating to the characters, and helps convey the central theme of the story.
In the minds of many, legendary director Alfred Hitchcock’s infamous shower scene in the 1960 classic Psycho brought the phrase “point of view” into the language of the general public. What most do not realize is that those in the many spectrums of entertainment have been taking full advantage of the benefits brought on by an audience being dealt a limited field of vision for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Prior to the advent of film and theater, the best place to find this method in use was literature. The origin of the point of view in literature can be traced back to the earliest forms of literature, where much of what was dictated and recorded was recounted from life experiences. It is of no
Point of view is an important element when reading any type of story. Point of view tells the reader about who tells the story and how it's being told. There are three different types of point of view which would be first person, third person limited, and third person objective. First person is defined as the author disappears into one of the characters, who tells the story in the first person. Third person limited the story is told in the third person, but from the viewpoint of one character in the story. Lastly, third person objective the narrator disappears into a kind of roving sound camera. They can go anywhere but can record only what is being seen and heard.
What is point of view? Point of view is “the speaker, voice, narrator, or persona of a work; the position from details are perceived and related; a centralizing mind or intelligence; not to be confused with opinion or belief “(Roberts, 119). Edgar Allan Poe famously uses point of view in all of his writings. According to Gargano, “An objective narrator is telling a terrible story objectively might be frightening, but even more frightening is a man telling without emotion the story of his own terrible crime”(Gargano, 52). In Poe’s story stories: “The Cask of Amontillado”, “Black Cat”, “The Fall of the House of Usher”, and “The Tell Tale Heart” he uses point of view to influence the readers’ understanding of the selections.
Point of view is the perspective a piece of literature is being narrated from. In first person point of view, the writer writes as if the person who the book is about wrote the book, using words like ‘I’ and ‘me’. Second person point of view uses word like ‘you’, as if the author is talking to you and directing you what to do. Third person point of view is when the author writes as if they are a spectator of the book, using words like ‘they’ and ‘she’ and ‘he’. There are three different types of third person point of view. The first on is Limited third person point of view. The author writes from an outsider’s perspective, and knows what the main character is thinking, but is limited to that one character. It is almost as if the author lives in the brain of the person. Third person Omniscient point of view is different. The author is watching from an outside view and isn’t part of the story. This time though, the author isn’t limited to one character’s thoughts. Instead, the author jumps from character to character’s minds, as if they document what happens in one person’s mind, and switches to the next when the chapters change or the paragraphs end. The last point of view is Objective point of view, which is used rarely except in children’s books. It is when the author is completely detached from the character, only narrating what they see.
The point of view is third person omniscient, as the narrator speaks of not only Buck’s feelings, but the feelings of a lot of the other characters. This makes the story more interesting by adding a sense of knowledge about what might happen, but not knowing for sure. This allows the reader to see into Buck’s mind, and get his opinion along with the opinions of the other major characters. This point of view also gives the reader a feeling of knowledge, as of knowing what might be thought next. The point of view also helps with the story by making it easier to explain events, and what caused them.
Being the way in which readers experience the story, the impact of point-of-view cannot be understated. A first-person narrator introduces a very human voice—a view which readers are often inclined to sympathise with despite its inherent unreliableness. The first-person plural allows an author to weave a limited view with omniscience to create wider coverage than a limited first-person narration would allow. Third-person objective, the simplest view in comparison, allows readers greater freedom in reaching their own conclusion; a chance to interpret events without an author’s interjection or narrator’s
Third Person: The narrator tells the story as an observer or through one of the characters. He may know what the characters are thinking and feeling. This is the most common point of view used.
