SHIFTING POINTS OF VIEW
Weaving multiple viewpoint characters in and out of a story is like standing trial and knowing what the judge, the prosecuting attorney and all 12 members of the jury are thinking. Each person is witnessing the same information, but his interpretation is different. But it’s not like you can crack in to everyone’s mind simultaneously. Even if you could, it’d be impossible to comprehend what 14 people are saying if they’re all talking at the same time. Just visit your average Kindergarten classroom.
