AMatterOfPerspective

I use this cartoon when trying to teach how changing perspective or point of view can change a story.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince | J.K. Rowling

I know it's #AMatterofPerspective whether the characters' actions are justifiable or not, especially Dumbledore's. I've gone back and forth myself, but the more I listen, the more I come back to my original view: everyone was doing the best they could. Humans make mistakes. #StarTrekSummerMay

Rashomon | Donald Richie, Akira Kurosawa

This episode is baaaaaaad! But, turns out, the episode frame was inspired by Rashomon, i.e. the same events are viewed through many different perspectives. In Rashomon, we learn that there is no true point of view and the truth cannot be completely found. In TNG, Riker is innocent, of course, and there is truth to be found, with ¡Science! #StarTrekSummerMay #day1 #AMatterofPerspective

GingerAntics Oh Riker!!! I love Riker!!! 💙💙💙 5y

Tamra Me in a meeting. 😒 5y

Megabooks So sometimes I get stuck on watching certain episodes, and usually they‘re not the technically best/most popular. A few years ago, this was one of them. I do like the re-enactments from the witnesses, and how they‘re all so different. And I love the facepalm. 🤦🏻‍♀️👍🏻🖖🏻 5y

Itchyfeetreader I read this back to back with Columbine last year and found myself incredibly moved 5y

Megabooks I own this book but have not read it. I cannot imagine the depth of her grief and sadness. I‘m glad she has changed something deeply negative to positive. 🖖🏻 5y

gradcat I‘m with @megabooks I don‘t know how parents survive this kind of thing. 5y

Star Trek | James Blish

The episode of Star Trek:TNG was all about truth. #AMatterofPerspective #StarTrekSummerMay @Megabooks

Megabooks Yes it was. It was a fantastic look at how memories are shaped by feelings, and how getting to the truth is the most important goal. 💯 5y

Sleeping Giants | Sylvain Neuvel

I love Sylvain Neuvel, and I love his multiple perspective Sleeping Giants trilogy. Really fantastic full-cast audiobooks as well! But I think it‘s #AMatterofPerspective on what you think multiple narrator books. Some people love them, others don‘t. Some authors do it better as well.

Now on to the episode! This popular double facepalm 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🤦🏻‍♀️ gif started here. It‘s definitely one of my favorites to use. #TheMoreYouKnow #StarTrekSummerMay

julesG I once had this as a postcard. I love it. And I agree to multiple narrator audiobooks and Sylvain Neuvel. 😁 5y

Megabooks @julesG That is awesome! Sometimes you just need a double shot! Neuvel is certainly my favorite in SF right now. 5y

Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga | Hunter S. Thompson

#MayMovieMagic #HighwayToHell This first person account sounds fascinating and I‘m thinking of using an Audible credit🧐Has anyone listened to the audio??? Is it worth it??? My Hoopla & OverDrive don‘t have the book or audio on offer 😖

Also works for #LongAndWindingRoad @Eggs and #AMatterOfPerspective @Megabooks

GlassAsDiamonds Book itself sounds fabulous! 5y

Cinfhen I just listened to a sample @GlassAsDiamonds #HardPass UGH 😑 I think I‘m gonna do print when I find a cheap copy 🤓👍🏻 5y

Megabooks Sounds fascinating! I used to watch Gangland on A&E all the time. I‘m sorry to say I haven‘t listened to it. Have you looked to see if you‘ve read with that narrator before? Ah I just saw you checked! Too bad. Definitely fits the prompt. Thanks for joining in! 🖖🏻 Good luck finding a copy. Goals always make shopping at used bookstores more fun! 5y

Cinfhen So true @Megabooks although my shopping list is the size of an Encyclopedia 😛 5y

RohitSawant I've been meaning to read Hunter S. Thompson for years now and was hoping to start with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. This one sounds intriguing, too! 5y

Mdargusch #borrownotbuy 5y

TrishB Have read one by the author....😱😱 way too young!! 5y

Cinfhen Exactly @Mdargusch 5y

Eggs Great choice❣️ 5y

britt_brooke @rohit-sawant They‘re both good. I liked Rum Diary a lot, too. 5y

britt_brooke I listened to this on audio and it was decent. I felt like it could‘ve been shorter, honestly, but it was interesting. 5y

Cinfhen Thanks @britt_brooke for your thoughts xx I‘m in no rush to read this but I‘ll keep my eyes open for a cheap copy 5y
