During my earlier years of education, I understood narrative to be simple. A written form of a story depicted in a book or magazine. My knowledge has evolved and I have learned of narrative as a whole new "world," one in which someone other than the author has the ability to influence the plot in many respects. The idea that a reader is allowed by the author to interact with the story with out changing the overall outcome is fascinating and exciting to think about. I fully agree that the telling of a story and the presentation of that story are welded together in a method of creating one interactive narrative form.

On the subject of personal opinion and perspective, for a few years now I have been a firm believer in the truth or lack of truth presented in the media. The idea is to appeal to a specific audience and give that information in which they want those viewers to hear from a specific perspective and not others. And although I understand that perspective allows the existence of a narration, I do not feel that one perspective or a few that agree on the same idea should be all that is presented.

If the individual perspective is what allows perspective to exist at all, then no one person can ever understand or view another's perspective in the same way; this means, that no one can every truly agree one hundred percent with one another. But nowadays, since their no longer seems to be a single authority (Meadows Pg.16), we can all communicate and interact by simpler methods globally and can attempt to at least join together our perspectives in order to generate an interactive narrative.
