The point of view of a story makes all the difference in a story’s structure. What if Dillard’s story were told through the eyes of the weasel? Imagine an average day in your life, as observed through the eyes of another animal. Pick an animal, or insect, that could reasonably observe you, like a dog, cat, bird, fly. Write what the animal/insect might observe. Use at least three of the senses (smell, taste, touch, sight, sound).
