Early one Sunday morning, I went hunting in the woods. My family was running low on meat and I needed to feed them soon. I am desperate to find some meat. As I sat high in the tree, a nice size animal came up grazing in the field. There were no other animals in the field like there usually is. I prepared myself to take aim, but out of nowhere the animal quickly ran away. Man! I have to look for another target now.

The two stories are the same story, but written from different perspectives. How does changing the perspective change the story?

• You get to see the story from the same perspective, but learn two different things that the narrator was thinking.

• You get to see how both the hunter and the animal saw the events that were taking place that morning.

• You learn about the hunter and the animal and what they saw and felt that morning.

I wonder who invented putting water into plastic bottles? Water bottles are disposable which means that they can be thrown away. Landfills are overflowing with garbage because people are too lazy to fill a reusable cup with water. Recycling has been set up, but many people do not recycle all of the water bottles that they use. The earth is being polluted with all the used water bottles.

What is the author's perspective?

• People should not drink out of water bottles beacuse they are disposable.

• People should drink out of water bottles becuase disposable things are good.

• People should never drink water.
