Different Perspectives | Prompt Times 4
Book prompts about different perspectives
In life, we are faced with many different opinions, points of view, perspectives. We deal with mindsets and thought processes that differ from ours, and whether we agree or disagree with it, we are to move on from it. Personally, I enjoy being faced with different mindsets. It is quite enlightening, as it is truly fascinating how different someone can grow and be different from you. It is also quite remarkable how reading about fictional characters can also give you a new perspective in life; different epistolary views made real. Have you ever read a book that made you think twice? If so, write about it!
This week’s book prompts
I’ve been reading a lot about controversial opinions lately, so I’ve decided that this week’s topics would be around perspectives. I would love to see what you can come up with. Post your draft under Coffee Times, and remember to tag #Bookprompt, so everyone can also find inspiration in each other’s works.
A book that made you change your mind about a topic
Perhaps it is because I am indecisive or for some other reason, but I change my mind quickly when a character in a book shows me a different thought process that may or may not be better. Have you ever had a similar experience? If you did, write about it!
A book that gave you a new perspective
This is just like the prompt above, except that the one above talks about changing opinions; this is a whole mindset. I often get these surges of enlightenment when I read good self-help books. Have you ever gotten a new point of view from reading? If so, write about it!
A book that was was more than one point of view
Some books are narrated by one voice; some books use omniscient narrating — have you read a book with more than one point of view? I personally love it when books have this flair, as it often adds depth and insight. If you enjoy it as well, drop a recommendation and write about it!
Don’t be discouraged!
If you’re not an avid reader, or just not a reader at all, don’t be discouraged! Prompt Times aims to encourage readers to read more, and non-readers to read. We don’t mind if you hadn’t read five hundred books or you haven’t touched one in five years — you’re still a reader simply by reading.
This week, we received fewer submissions than usual. Though we haven’t received enough to make a separate article on the submissions, I would still like to give the spotlight to Mary Lou Heater and her wonderfully written piece about a book on morals:
If you don’t know how to respond to a book prompt, or a prompt in general, go to the tag #Bookprompt to get a gist of it! Though, there isn’t a strict criterion we abide by — these prompts are for however you want to express your feelings! Poems, fanfiction, reviews — the more creative you are, the better!
