Inter of Maladies- Point of Veiw Change

Ronny was busy looking at the hidden monkeys in the trees. Ronny thought the monkey's were the cutest animals he had ever seen. "I wish I had a monkey to take home with me," is the thought that kept replaying itself over and over in Bobby's head. It was like a broken record player. By this time, Mr. Das and Ronny were in the distance. They were roughly 30 to 40 yards away. Bobby could see his father taking pictures of the beautiful scenery. He observed as Mr. Das was shoving Ronny into position so he could get a good picture of him. Mr. Das typically used these family photos on postcards. Ronny heard a sound coming from the bushes. He approached the shaking bush in which the sound was coming from. He was flattered when he realized it was monkey. He felt like he had won the lottery. He was thinking that this was the best day of his life. Bobby approached the monkey and stroked its short hair because he thought it was the coolest creature he had ever seen. In a flash, Bobby was surrounding by monkeys. Bobby began to worry. He said, "be nice monkeys." The monkeys did just the opposite. The monkeys surrounding him and began beating with sticks and harassing him. Bobby could feel his heart pounding, he was so afraid and defenseless. Suddenly, out of nowhere came Mr Kapasi. He chased the monkeys away. Bobby, "are you alright," shouted Mrs Das. Bobby was so gratuitous towards Mr. Kapasi although he did not know how to show it.

  1. It was a great point of view change to make because in was an exciting situation and everyone in the story had a different take on it. I like how you explained the feelings and thoughts of the character. This was well written and flowed nicely.

    NICE!

  2. I really enjoyed reading this point of view change a lot. It was really interesting to see it from this point of view because i felt that i could relate to the character a lot more easily when i read this passage in a different point of view.
