Through My Eyes

In the short story “A Well Lighted Place” the young waiter is being exceedingly cruel to the old man who is deaf. The old man may be able to speak but he doesn't know what the other man is saying. The old man is very alone has nobody to really look after him except for his niece and he has almost committed suicide but his niece caught him in the act. The man likes the “Well Lighted Place”, because it is very well lighted and peaceful were the old man likes to be.

In the book “A Well Lighted Place” is mainly from 3^rd person point of view what happened if we were to talk about it from the old man’s point of view and talk about the two waiters in the next paragraph. The old man may be hurt from how the young waiters is treating him and how he gets treated at the place. The old man is not a happy person but he may enjoy life and he could also be very unhappy with the young man and how he treats him.

The two waiters have very different point of views of how they could have handled it. The young waiter is being very cruel to him because he came in very late rate before they were going to close up. The young waiter has a wife home and want to get home to his wife to sleep but he is a very cocky young man along with that.  There is also a middle age waiter who doesn't have much a life but still enjoys everything, he also is very nice to everybody not a cocky guy.  

The point of view of a story can really change how the reader feels about the story.  Just like in this story it completed may have changed how the reader feels about different characters in what way. So the next you are reading a book or story think about the other persons point of view and how it could affect the story.
