According to the video, what is the primary difference between 'point of view' and 'perspective' in a story?

Point of view is about who is telling the story (first person, third person), while perspective is about how the characters themselves see and describe a situation based on their feelings, concerns, and observations.

List the three questions provided in the video that can help you determine a character's perspective.

1. What does this character care about? 2. How might they feel in this situation? 3. How would they describe what's happening?

Imagine two characters are watching a thunderstorm. Character A is afraid of loud noises, while Character B loves the rain. How might each character describe the thunderstorm, based on their perspectives?

Character A might describe the thunderstorm as frightening, deafening, and dangerous. Character B might describe it as refreshing, beautiful, and calming.

The video uses the example of Peter Pan and Wendy flying to Neverland. How does Peter's perspective of the event differ from Wendy's?

Peter sees flying to Neverland as a thrilling and easy adventure, while Wendy views it as magical and wondrous but also a little overwhelming and scary because she is leaving her family.

Why is understanding a character's perspective important when reading a story?

Understanding a character's perspective allows for a deeper understanding of the story, helps us understand why characters act in certain ways, and reveals how the narrator shapes our experience of the story.
