One of the great decisions one has to make in telling a story is from whose point of view are you seeing the story unfold.
Sometimes the story comes to you complete with narrator; other times it’s up for grabs.
Here is a writing exercise that shows how different an event becomes depending on your vantage point.
TASK: Choose a nursery rhyme, and then retell the story from any point of view you like.
For example:
Hey, Diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed,
To see such sport
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
