  • Bullet In The Brain By Tobias Wolff

    1532 Words  | 7 Pages

    If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at begin to change. Tobias Wolff uses perspective shifting in the story to deceive the reader of what they believe to be important in the story. There are numerous times throughout the story which feature the narration whisking the current moment away in favor of an important memory, or observation that needs to be said. I believe Wolff uses those specific techniques in order to hide the meaning of the story, or the subjectivity of the story that he wishes the reader to see with some thinking. By choosing to read “Bullet in the Brain” the reader is walking into Wolff’s house of mirrors, where perspective is changing with each step forward.
