Character's varying perspectives

Nolan grabbed the rope. He tried to pull himself up and thought to himself, this is way too hard for me, I can't possibly pull this off he admitted to himself as he dropped to the mat. The coach blew his whistle and screamed, "Nolan, you get up there and you try again." His face turned red as he shouted orders. Not wanting to make the coach angrier, Nolan lifted himself off the mat and grabbed the rope again. He pulled. Again, Nolan felt weak. This time he closed his eyes and wished he'd never have to hear his coach's voice ever again. He felt totally intimidated as the coach blew his whistle again.

Debra was walking a big black Labrador along the beach. She quickly unleashed the dog realizing that she could not fully control it. She was a little concerned, but he didn't seem to stray far from her. As Debra walked in the sand, the Labrador bounded through the waves. As the dog fell a few feet behind , she called out to him, "Come on, Duke! Come here boy!" Duke barked, ran from the water, and caught Debra quickly. He was sopping wet. Now Debra had to make sure she did not loose her balance as the dog jumped on her and started licking her face. "Get down Duke" she commanded as she grabbed his leash to take control once again.
