Introduction to Perspective in Literature
In the quiet town of Maplewood, the arrival of spring was celebrated with a sense of renewal and hope. Emma, a lifelong resident, viewed the season as a time of rebirth, describing it as 'a gentle awakening from the long slumber of winter.' Meanwhile, visiting outsider Mark perceived the same season with skepticism, noting that 'the blooming trees masked the relentless grind of daily life.' Emma cherished the traditions that marked the season, while Mark questioned their significance. Their differing viewpoints reflect contrasting attitudes shaped by their experiences and backgrounds, illustrating how perspective influences interpretation of the same event.
