Point of view is an aspect that has a huge influence not only in literature, but also in life. Like with writing, a person's view on a subject changes their interpretation of events and facts. Take the statistic one in every ten people are left handed, how does that make you feel? Due to one's point of view, whether the person is right or left handed, their interpretation of this could be different. For those that are left handed, this statistic likely makes them feel either unique or an outsider. While those who are right handed the information might provoke the feeling of being normal or fitting in. Based on the life and knowledge of an individual their point of view is changed, which, in turn, changes their interpretation of facts.

While I agree with this and I think your example gets the point across, I feel like a better example could be used, or you could take out the rhetorical question. When asked about how I felt about a statistic, I felt kind of indifferent and confused as to how that had to do with the prompt. The example is not usually something many people have a strong opinion on, and I feel like a better example could be a topic that has more controversy behind it such as financial aid. However, I understood after your explaination and, being left handed in a mainly right handed world DOES make me feel unique and happy when I met other people like me. It's just the question that's confusing. Great job!
