Point of View Assignment, a little help

As you know, the class assignment on The Kite Runner is tomorrow. It's going to be about rewriting an excerpt from a different point of view, on about 400 words.

I've mentioned this before, but last year I went to a Creative Writing workshop on our faculty, given by Dr. Janice Russell. What did she focus on? Writing under different perspectives (read points of view). After a bit of digging through my bookmarks, I finally found the entry from the Creative Writing Group blog which has the powerpoint she used. It describes all the different POVs you can use, and it is filled with examples (The Kite Runner is actually mentioned as one for "First Person").

And that's all I have right now. See you tomorrow.
