Stock Characters

A Stock character from a film i have seen recently is Temo Cruz from the movie Coach Carter. Temo is a player on the basketball team at his high school, but he does not attend class and does not keep his grades up, he lives in a rough neighbourhood and is a rough young man. He is port raid to the audience as an arrogant kid with no future after highschool. The movie portrays him in this way to show a refelction of the kind of education the kids are givin at the school, and what kind of future many of the players and students will have.

Point Of View

In my novel  Night by Elie Wiesel the point of view in which the story is being told through is first person limited omniscient. I believe this point of view was chosen because the story is being told through the author who was a survivor of the holocaust during World War II. I think that the point of view contributes to the narrative because reading it through someones perspective who experienced the horrors of the holocaust is much more intense and emotional then reading it from an author who studied it. If i was givin the choice I would not change the point of view because when reading the book through the perspective of one who experienced  the holocaust it makes it that much more interesting and educational to the reader, and you get a better understanding of what really happened
