Perspective

To me, perspective is like one side of a story where its facts are based on if you were there or not. Perspective is often truth mixed in with prejudices, opinions and misconceptions. Therefore, perspective is not often a good way to look at truth. Perspective is also mainly based on what the viewer wants to see because they know they can distort the facts so whatever they see becomes true to them.

Perspective

Perspective is the oppinion of individual interpretation. It shows us how different people see the same thing. It is therefore a part of human being. An every day example of this is music. For one person is techno the best music, but a different person completly disagree with this. That makes every person special.

Perspective

Perspective can be defined as a personal point of view. As it isn't something fix, and what I mean by that is that it can change, the influence of culture, time and even people are able to make it shift.
As for example, Luis Inacio never graduated, but today is the president of Brazil. For an american, which president graduated at Harvard, this may result in a different perspective than we Brazilians have about how the politics in Brazil are.

Define Perspective

What is perspective to you? How do you define it? What controls it or influences it? What, in your experience, is required to shift your perspective?

Fear, as any other feeling, is hard to define. If someone ask a ten years old kid what he is afraid of, he will give an example, but if he is asked about a definition, he won't be able to say. But all of the four books have something in commom when it's related to fear, it makes the reader able to define as "something that make someone be what he/she isn't, or make things he/she didn't want to."

The effect of a shifting narrative is to provide the reader with two perspectives on a story; both Sorrow of War and The Things They Carried offer shifting narrative to one another in order to capture human nature of both sides during the Vietnam Conflict.

There are two themes that relate to post war problems present in The Sorrow of War, by Bao Ninh, and in The Things They Carries, by Tim O'Brien. There is the theme of post war psychological problems and the theme of post war abandonment. Tim O'Brien and Bao Ninh write to release the sadness provoked by their experiences with the Vietnam war.

Semester essay thesis

Since the very start of the written word the narratives of literature have taken a very liner approach starting at the begin and ending at the end, but now the age old tradition has been challenged. A new type of narrative called a shifting narrative is beginning to make it’s appearance, in Vietnam war litterateur. This new type jumps from place to place, time to time, plot to plot and even narrator to narrator. The first reaction any reader gets is confusion but once they get past that then the reason begins to dawn on them. The Vietnam war was certainly not conventional, it’s lack of a front line among other things made it so and therefor an unconventional writing style is needed to convey it.

Fear is an "intense and instinctive emotion aroused by impending or seeming danger." (Webster's Dictionary 343). In the novel, The Things They Carried, the author, Tim O'Brien shows the emotion fear, in the characters, and how they struggle to overcome it. In, The Sorrow of War, the author, Bao Ninh, also uses fear to illustrate its influence on the character's prospect of life. The theme of fear and its affects are explored in both novels. The struggle with conquering fear is identified in O'Brien's novel; whereas, the surrender to fear is portrayed in the, The Sorrow of War.
