Don't Just Assume

Author's note: This is my point of view piece. I was going to do in on the second book in this series to only discover that i wasn't far enough into the book to write this on it. So I did this on the first book and how people can't just believe blame a person without looking at the other persons point of view.

In The Rangers Apprentice Will begins on his journey to coming a ranger. Along the way he runs into some trouble with evil minions of Morgarth. This story is written in Wills point of view. From his perspective a lot of events and characters are described in a way that creates a passion to want him to overcome obstacles during Wills’ journey to become a master ranger.

One way that Will point of view influence our interpretation is when Will gets in a fight with Horus. From Will point of view made it look like Horus was the bad guy and that he started the fight. When really Will was like the younger sibling, slowly inching him of the cliff until Horus just got sick of it.

However, the reader would feel a lot differently about when Will and Halt assumed  that two creatures were evil and attack them. If the novel was written in the point of view of Kalkaras. For instance, if you saw someone that was covered in blood what would you think? Some people would thing that he just hurt someone, while he was the one who was mugged. That is what happened here. Just because most of their kind work for Morgarth doesn’t mean that they do.

As you can see, the point of view of a story forces the reader to see just one side of an event or topic. In  The Rangers Apprentice the narrator's perspective makes the reader want to see Will overcome the odd and defeat  evil, when really we don’t even know who is the good guy in this tail.
