Unique Perspectives in Fiction That Changed the Way I Think
8 months ago
It’s easy to read books where the main character looks like you, acts like you, and thinks like you. But, oftentimes, I have found that I gain more from the books with main characters that look, think, and act entirely different than I do. Here is a list of fictional books (and a movie) with diverse and unique perspectives that helped me think outside of myself.
This book contains the perspective of a teenager with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
This book contains the perspective of a teenager who has recently become blind.
This book/play contains the perspective of a Black family struggling to uphold their financial dignity in the 1950s.
This book contains the perspective of a fifth grader with cerebral palsy.
