Angle of Vision
I never realized, that every day, people tell stories in different ways to different people. This is called "angle of vision." It basically means that when people are telling stories to their friends or family, they intentionally leave out information. For instance, your best friend and your dad both ask you what you did on Friday night. You will most likely tell your best friend everything that happened at the party you attended. However, you may not tell your dad about the party at all. You may tell him that you went out to a friends house but make no mention that there was a crazy party going on. Or you may leave out/ad in details depending on who the story is being told to. This often happens to many stories. Stories are changed because of who it is being told to and/or to make it more interesting than what actually happened. It is the "angle of vision" that influences peoples opinions, on certain subjects, because it is how, the story, it is told to a specific group of individuals.
