"Altering the timeline and P.O.V."

By altering the time line and point of view, suspense is created and the reader's initial perception of the tale's characters are altered. For instance, by beginning the telling of The Juniper Tree at the scene wherein the father is devouring the meat which had been his son, the reader might through this initial impression think that the father is cruel and cannibalistic. Additionally, suspense is created as the reader will most likely desire to know as to how the story reached such a point why this father is performing such an atrocious act. In addition to this, by altering the point of view those who tell the tale might make it much more exciting by providing exciting details that might have otherwise been omitted. This also enables the teller to be much more inventive for in altering the point of view the teller is provided with many more manners in which he might tell the story, while at the same time making it seem more personal and realistic.
