Dec 9 Lessons: Persepective (point of view) Example

A shadow under the trees moved
and came lumbering out into the
sunlight towards us. A monkey, a
giant monkey. Not a gibbon at all.
It moved slowly on all fours, and
was brown, ginger-brown. An
orang-utan, I was sure of it. He
sat down just a few feet from me
and considered me. I dared not
move. When he’d seen enough,
he scratched his neck casually,
turned and made his way on all
fours slowly back into the forest.

Here is the same section rewritten from a different perspective:

I was sitting under the trees when
I saw them standing there,
watching us. What were these
strange creatures? They did not
move, so I slowly went towards
them and sat down close by to
examine the two creatures. One
was standing upright. He looked
like a monkey, but did not have
any fur. The other had four legs
and a long face. I looked at them
for a while, but they did not more
or make a sound. What strange
creatures. I decided to return to
my friends in the forest.
