Do you think changing the point of view would make the story better of worse? If you could, would you want another character's perspective to be included in the novel? If so, whose? en-us 2016-11-03 12:57:03 UTC 2025-09-24 16:35:10 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135093522 It would be different because the views of the problem would be much different. I think changing the point of view would make it worse because nobody else was at the scene of the fight beside Paul, but he would have a one-sided view on the whole thing of course. I would not want to have any body else narrate the story.]]> 2016-11-03 14:28:45 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135093522 https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135093699 I think that the story would be different if it was another person other than Rashad or Quin. Instead of the problems happening to the main characters you would just be witnessing it. I think that changing the point of view from first to second or third would ruin the story. It would make it so that you knew everything that everyone was thinking. Its kind of a mystery knowing what Paul thinks. If I could add more characters points of view I would add either English, Guzo, or Paul because they all play a semi kind of roll in the book, I would also want to see what they were thinking and what they though about the situation.  ]]> 2016-11-03 14:29:06 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135093699 https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135093861 If Rashad or Quinn weren't telling the story, it would be different because whoever was telling it wouldn't know as much as the people who were there and the person that it happened to. I think it would make the story worse because there would be as many details as the narrators now do. We couldn't know what the victim was thinking while this going on. If the person that was narrating the story had only seen the video they wouldn't be like Quinn and have witnessed the whole thing. If I could pick someone else's perspective it would be Paul, Guzzo's brother. ]]> 2016-11-03 14:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135093861 https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135093865 I think that the point of view of the  story should be different because it would add a  more dramatic theme to the story and also make the book more dynamic. I would also want to include Paul as a point of view]]> 2016-11-03 14:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135093865 https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135093878 I think the story would be different if Rashad or Quinn weren't telling it because just witnessing what happens and actually experiencing what happens leaves out a lot of detail in the story. I think changing the point of view will make the story worse because it would leave out lots of detail and what Rashad and Quinn think about the story]]> 2016-11-03 14:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135093878 https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135093946 I think that the story would be very different if it was told By some one other than Rashad and Quinn Because you could see other things and know what others thought about the topic. I think changing the point of view would make the story worse because there would be no excitement or anticipation to see who thought what and what was going on. You would know everything that was happening and it would be boring. I would not want another characters perspective because from a readers point of view it would just be way too much for me to comprehend. It keeps the reader interested to see what happens with the cops. I think the story is great how it is.]]> 2016-11-03 14:29:31 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135093946 https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135093977 I think the story would be different for the reader because of the different look at it different problem .

Changing the point of view would be worse because the story would change and you wouldn't know Quinn or Rashad's thoughts and some of the details would change. I think it would be cool to have Paul's point of view or have a narrator telling the story.]]> 2016-11-03 14:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135094147 https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135094149 It would be I think that having another character would affect the way a reader looks into the the story and the point of view is better in first person in my opinion.

This would make the story different.

I think it would make the story better because you can get explanations of why a character chose to do that action.  I would want another character in the story and I would like it to be Rashad's dad. I want him in the story because the few times the dad is in it he is explained and talked about like he is very mean and cold-hearted. I want to know if the dad is always like this or not? What were his emotions when Rashad was in the hospital? Was he ever nice and something happened to him and now he's strict?

When you take away the two main characters you have a completely different story. Some aspects may still be the same but Quinn and Rashad's view are taken away.]]> 2016-11-03 14:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135094223 hamwil https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135094230 I think the story would be different if then story was told in a different point of view like if a kid was stalking them and telling their story. Or if rashad wasn't black would the police man still hurt him? Would he still get accused for stealing chips? I don't know if it would be better or worse. I would want the police mans perspective included to know what was going through his mind.

No I would not want a other character perspective because it would be close to Quins point of view. ]]> 2016-11-03 14:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135094268 https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135094397 I think the story would be different because the story teller could have been somewhere else the Night Rashad got beat up. They could have been just a random kid from their school or even someone who only knows about the crime because of the News on TV. 
I think it could make the story very interesting having a different view but not much better. I would include Paul or Guzzle into the perspective because of their extremely biased opinion on the event. ]]> 2016-11-03 14:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135094397 https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135094419 I think the story would be different because you wouldn't know Quinn or Rashad feelings or thoughts]]> 2016-11-03 14:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135094419 https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135094498 The story would be different if it's in another point of view because you would not know Rashad and Quinn thoughts.

It would also be different because it is coming from someone elses point of view and not actually the people who are living their life. But I also think it would be cool if it was also told from Paul's perspective to see what really happened with Rashad and how he feels about that whole situation.

Both of Quinn and Rashad's storys are connected somehow and it would be different if some else is telling it. The whole story would change if it was not told in first person, both of the narrators have very limited story. If it was to change it would be worse. It would be interesting to hear Paul's bothers story or even Paul.]]> 2016-11-03 14:30:54 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135094694 doylqui https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135094817 I think the story could be better or worse from a different point of view but, for the most part it would be worse because the details about Rashad would not be as good I would not want to change it but if I had to it would be to Rashad's mom.]]> 2016-11-03 14:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135094817 https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135094826 I think the story would be worse if there was another point of view because I think two perspectives is enough for this story.

Changing the point of view would possibly better, you could see the story from other people's perspective. But at the same time having another point of view would make the story too confusing. So no I would not want another point of view in the story.]]> 2016-11-03 14:32:01 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135095218 https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135095512 The story would be different because Rashad and Quin are in the center in all the events in the story. Also, Rashad was the one who was actually getting beaten by the cop, and Quin was a bystander at that same event. If another person was telling it, it would be a lot more boring. The story would be worse if you changed the point of view because if there was a narrator, the story would be a lot more showing than telling. It would just be a lot of he said she said. Also, when the story is in first person, it is a lot more dramatic.

The other person would have different thoughts and opinions. If they just interviewed the lady that Rashad supposedly pushed, then maybe he wouldn't have gotten as hurt, and he wouldn't have gotten so in trouble. If the author was planning on including another character's perspective then I would recommend the lady Rashad tripped over. If she was interviewed and told the truth then he would have never gotten beaten down to the ground. ]]> 2016-11-07 14:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135786307 https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135790920 The story would be different if someone else told the story because they wouldn't really know what really happened ]]> 2016-11-07 14:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135790920 https://padlet.com/eiannuzzi/hdhyq91dikee/wish/135793485 The story would be told from a different perspective.
