Challenge #61

[shivver]

Today's exercise is about perception and point-of-view. Think of a scene that you're very familiar with - it could be some place real, like your home or your workplace, or it could be a scene from a TV show or movie that you know really well, or it could be a scene in a story you've written previously, that you've described from one character's point of view.

Now, choose someone very different from yourself or the original point-of-view character, and write a couple of paragraphs describing the place from that new person's point-of-view. Here are a couple of ideas.

• Describe your bedroom as a person who is a foot or more taller or shorter than yourself. What can that person see, from up high or down below, that you can't?
  
• We all know what the console room of the TARDIS looks like, right? Describe it as Jamie sees it for the first time - as a country piper from 1746 who hasn't seen anything more mechanical than a musket or any material similar to plastic.
  
• An alien (a real alien, not just a humanoid one like the Doctor) comes to Earth for the first time and sees your favorite stuffed animal. What does it look like to that alien, who doesn't know anything about life forms on Earth?
