Point of View

Ester smiled brightly at his back, shrugged casually, and kept voice smooth as she reassured, "I'm not going anywhere." to laugh as she saw his shoulders almost flinch.

John's neighbor is angry because John plays loud music every day. John is frustrated at his neighbor because his neighbor complains too much. They talked about it and came to a compromise--John will still play his loud music every day, but will only play for 1 hour instead of 2.

How to grill by Steven Raichlen 
Once you have your grill assembled, the next thing to decide is where to put it.  A grill puts out a lot of heat, so you should position it several feet away from the side of the house or any plants or shrubbery.  You'll have an easier time with a spot that is sheltered from the wind.  When positioning a grill on a wooden deck, remember that sparks and live embers can fall from a charcoal grill.

The Baffled Parent's Guide to Great Basketball Drills by Jim Garland 
Before each practice begins, make sure you check the court and remove any debris from the playing surface.  When your players arrive, check that they have the proper footwear and that they've removed any jewelry, which could injure the player wearing the jewelry or another player.  Always carry a list of emergency phone numbers for your players, and know where the nearest phone is located.  You should also have a first-aid kit, and you might want to take a first-aid course.

Curious George and the Pizza by Margret Rey

At the pizza place, Tony the baker was getting the pizzas ready for baking. He flattened out a ball of dough into a large pancake and tossed it in the air. He spread tomato sauce on it, sprinkled it with cheese, and shoved it in the oven. Then the telephone rang. "A fellow from the factory wants a large pizza delivered in a hurry," Tony's wife called. "OK, I'll get my coat," said Tony.

Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt
At dawn, Mae Tuck set out on her horse for the wood at the edge of the village of Treegap.  She was going there, as she did once every ten years, to meet her two sons, Miles and Jesse, and she was feeling at ease.  At noon time, Winnie Foster, whose family owned the Treegap wood, lost her patience at last and decided to think about running away.

Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar.
 Leslie sat in front of Paul.  She had two long, brown pigtails that reached all the way down to her waist.  Paul saw those pigtails, and a terrible urge came over him.  He wanted to pull a pigtail.  He wanted to wrap his fist around it, feel the hair between his fingers, and just yank.  He thought it would be fun to tie the pigtails together, or better yet, tie them to her chair.  But most of all, he just wanted to pull one.

I reached down to pick up the shards of glass around Ester's bare feet. She didn't move, but her tension was like the skin on the bright, tiny beads of blood. I curse, and, like an idiot, grabbed at a piece of glass. It pierced my thumb like a knife.

Which point of view is the following:
"There is one mirror in my house. It is behind a sliding panel in the hallway upstairs. Our faction allows me to stand in front of it on the second day of every third month, the day my mother cuts my hair."

Robert Jordan could walk well enough himself and he knew from following the old man that he could walk him to death. Robert Jordan trusted the man, Anselmo, so far, in everything except judgment. He had not yet had an opportunity to test his judgment, and, anyway, the judgment was his own responsibility."
