i can get behind everything you said about ts but saying she has no talent after folklore and evermore is crazy to me

i mean woah woah i didn't say she had NO talent

she is clearly talented

but to me, personally, the person to whom the question was asked, i don't think she has done anything groundbreaking that's all im saying

#i also think folklore and evermore are boring albums that sound like copy cats of other indie folk artists with more interesting #points of view #but this is of course subjective #i am not saying that's a fact #but again I was asked what I think and that is what I personally think #soph rambles

Points Of View

#Points Of View

[neuroticape1974]

In the corners of my thoughts, you remain,

Like whispers of a forgotten refrain,

A presence haunting my every stride,

You're the shadow I can't hide.

You'll always linger in my mind,

A bond no distance can unbind,

The other half of my soul, it's true,

Forever intertwined, me and you.

You're the echo of a love once true,

A melody that still plays through,

Though time has passed, we're worlds apart,

You're the deepest scar etched in my heart.

Days go by, yet your image stays,

A constant presence in so many ways,

A connection stronger than time can tell,

A love that forever in my heart will dwell.

The pages of our story may have turned,

But the lessons learned, forever earned,

You're the ink that colors my memories,

A love that lives on in whispered reveries.

You'll always linger in my mind,

Through the twists of fate, you're defined,

The other half of my soul, my core,

In the tapestry of my life, you're more.

So as life moves forward, I'll hold babe,

The essence of you that's always near,

A bittersweet chapter, we played our part,

Forever engraved, you'll remain in my heart.

Our earth is round, and, among other things, that means that you and I can hold completely different points of view and both be right. The difference of our positions will show stars in your window I cannot even imagine. Your sky may burn with light, while mine, at the same moment, spreads beautiful to darkness. Still we must choose how we separately corner the circling universe of our experience. Once chosen, our cornering will determine the message of any star and darkness we encounter.

What efforts are needed to address and counter hate speech more effectively?

A comprehensive response with a whole-of-society approach is essential, with the following vital areas of action to consider:

Establishing the need to combat hate speech as a matter of national and global priority at the highest political levels,

Addressing hate speech in the content of education programmes/curricula and pedagogical approaches at every level of formal, non-formal and informal education, from early childhood through higher education to lifelong learning,

Putting in place effective anti-discrimination policies and strategies,

Developing better reporting mechanisms at the local, national and global levels,

Coordinating improved responses with social media companies,

Encouraging further research on the nature and spread of hate speech and the effectiveness of the responses and mitigation measures implemented by various stakeholders, including in the education sector.

Outsiders End-Unit Reflection

ATL experienced the greatest : considering multiple points of view

At the beginning of the unit, we worked together in groups to discover popular gang tribes, including their origins, appearance, symbols and actions. In our case, Ginevra and I investigated on the Bloods, a Californian gang, who wear bright red and are involved in drug trafficking. Through this experience, we have gained a better understanding about the different perspectives of the Bloods and their major rivals, the Krips. Those prominent groups mainly distinguish for their symbolic colors and beliefs. Another interesting aspect we have noticed is between an Italian gang (Camorra) and an American one. For instance, Italian gangs are traditional and are passed down through generations, while American gangs tend to be more open for expansion. We have developed our knowledge by researching and summarising the information, presenting it to our class by creating a poster.

During the course of this unit we have read the "The Outsiders", a thrilling novel by S.E. Hinton. In addition to the different points of view of the characters, Socs and Greasers, we got a deeper perception of how the protagonist, Ponyboy, observes the world around him. Specifically, how Ponyboy sees childhood quoting the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay". The author of this composition is Robert Frost and he talks about how life cycle goes. The title recalls the fact that you can't remain a child forever and even though Ponyboy knows this, he will continue to try hard not to lose his "gold". Throughout this activity we have learnt how to apply CSI (chunk, summarise and inquire) while analysing a text and recognise literary devices. We have demonstrated in this lesson our knowledge of poetry, developed in previous years, and have been able to make use of what we learnt about the characters in "The Outsiders".

Lastly, we have acquired the skill of drawing and using correctly a Double Bobble diagram. This type of representation is perfect for when you have to compare and contrast things, situations or people. One of the most useful tip to follow while planning the map, is to think of filters and several arguments to base the similarities and differences on. In this activity, we have once again understood the different points of view of two characters of the novel. Darry from the West side and Bob for the East side have different lifestyles and economic status, though their personality and attitude are the same. For example, they are both stereotyped as the "bad and tough guys".

In conclusion, Ginevra and I really enjoyed this unit because we got to learn lots of different concepts, experimented different styles of tasks (writing, drawing and presenting), and we had the chance to look at stereotypes inside the book but also in real life.

How to Pick a Point of View for Stories

Figuring out the point of view (POV) for your next story can seem daunting. It changes how you convey your plot and the emotional themes driving it. These are a few ways to narrow your options.

1. Consider the Pros and Cons of Each POV

There are absolutely pros and cons for different points of view. They accomplish different things for each story even if they feel vaguely the same at first. When you’ve got a story in mind, think of these factors to potentially pick a POV.

First-Person Pros and Cons

Pros

Your reader will have an intimate connection with your protagonist because they’ll read the protagonist’s thoughts and feelings in “real time.”

A specific emotional tension is possible the protagonist is narrating everything through their personal lens/biases and the reader doesn’t get inside any other character’s head to learn their actual motivations/emotions.

A super distinct narrative voice can pick up the pace for readers in the first 100 pages of a novel

Cons

You don’t get to jump between characters, which isn’t helpful if you’ve got a well-developed cast of characters you want to spend time with.

It’s easy to have a repetitive sentence structure due to phrasing like, “I said,” “I though,” “I want,” etc.

Readers don’t get to emotionally connect with other characters on the same intimate level, which may limit the themes you want to write about.

Third-Person Pros and Cons

3rd Person Omniscient POV Pros

The reader gets into each character’s mind, so there’s no bias in the narration.

You can jump between characters in a single scene, allowing a multi-dimensional view of the main plot’s journey or lesson.

You can switch characters to reveal more of your world to your reader, which is perfect for writers who do deep worldbuilding before they start writing.

3rd Person Omniscient POV Cons

Readers may struggle to form an allegiance to a character because there’s so many giving their points of view.

The hook for a story may come much later than normal if multiple characters need to be introduced through narration before the inciting incident.

If you’re writing a longer story, you’ll have to chart the primary plot line, then each character’s individual arcs to understand how they intersect and where you’ll jump POVs.

3rd Person Limited POV Pros

You get quality time with multiple characters.

You can create an unreliable narrator within a cast of characters that your reader gets equal time with.

The quality time with each character can make it more emotional when a character faces a challenge.

3rd Person Limited POV Cons

You’re forced to follow only one character’s perspective at a time. There’s no jumping between minds in a scene.

Each character will have a personal bias regarding whatever situation they’re in, so they’ll need individual goals and opinions too. You’ll need more character building before or during writing your story.

You’ll still need to chart each character’s arc to understand how it pushes the primary plot forward, what role each character plays, why they’re essential for the reader to spend time with, and how they’ll grow individually.

2. Think About What Matters Most For Your Story

What is the purpose of your story? What do you want to achieve with it or how do you want to practice your craft with it?

You could want to try out a story with multiple narrators. That boils your options down to 3rd person omniscient or limited. Easy!

Do you want to write a protagonist that your readers feel bonded with? That could mean your story happens in first-person POV. It could also work with 3rd person limited, depending on which character recurs most often.

Maybe you have a few characters in mind for a story but only one of them seems interesting enough to vocalize the story. Pick that character for your first-person POV. The other characters may be important, but if their voices aren’t distinct, your reader will just be bored when they’re narrating. 

3. Go With Your Gut

Ultimately, you have to go with your gut. Pick the POV that makes the most sense and write the story. You can always go back and rewrite it in another POV if it feels like the current one isn’t working for whatever reason.

Yes, it’s a pain to do that kind of rewriting, but it’s such a relief to know your themes/message/plot will come across the right way. It’s always possible to make that change, even if you finished a novel-length manuscript.

-----

The more practice you give yourself with the various points of view, the more comfortable you'll feel when picking one for your future stories. Even practicing with flash fiction will flex your creative muscles enough to help you learn when each POV is most useful for your work.
