Discussion

Each of these works of literature holds a unique point of view. As you are reading them, consider what that point of view is, and how the story would change if the point of view were from a different perspective.

  • Emily Dickinson is a perfect example of an author who often tried to be outside of herself when writing. In "I heard a Fly buzz--when I died--," it is obvious that the proverbial 'fly on the wall' is watching the subject as she passes beyond the room.
    • Dickinson, E. (1862). I heard a fly buzz--when i died--. Poetry Foundation.
  • As a child, Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head on her way to school by the Taliban because she dared to be a girl who sought an education.

Please watch this TED video of her father who is asking his viewers to look at society from a different point of view:

Mona Ragab shares the perspective of a wife and mother who cannot meet her dreams and aspirations of writing in this short-short story from Arab Women Writers.

  • Ragab, M. (2005). I will try tomorrow. Arab Women Writers?: An Anthology of Short Stories. SUNY Press
