Point of View

        Can you trust your main character in your book? Do they tell you everything that they know? Well, I can’t trust mine, which is Hollis Woods from the book “Pictures of Hollis Woods.” I can’t really believe her because she is trouble. “A mountain of trouble”. My guess is that she has left out a couple of details, such as what happened to Steven and his family and what if she has friends at school, when she goes to it. Plus, this story is coming from a kid’s point of view. Think about it, kids are never 100% honest. So, it hard to trust Hollis. Another thing to consider is that from Hollis’ point of view, it affects the way we, as the readers, interpret the story. Mostly because she’s a kid and we interpret the story how a kid would think. Like if she was an adult, she would think differently about the events in this book. So, Hollis is hard to trust, but she’s just a kid, so it’s the same as any kid.
