Angles of vision is what the author "sees" while he is telling the story. Part of the story can be left out because the author does not "see" it. What is "seen" by the author can be determined by the age, race, and gender of the author. I want to know how the author determines what he wants the reader to "see?" How do authors do such a good job describing the scene so it is like we are seeing the story unfold right in front of us?
I really like the example used in the text about how you would describe a Friday night to a friend versus how you would describe it to your grandma. I think it really puts into perspective what angle of vision is. Because if you go to a party on Friday night you definitely will leave out if you drink or hook up with a boy when your talking to your grandma. When describing the Friday night to your best friend you will probably not leave out any of those juicy details. I definitely think the angle of vision can really make a story.
