Perspective, in the context of art and drawing, refers to linear or point- projection perspective, which is an approximate representation of an image as seen by the eye on a flat surface. It is used to represent a three-dimensional scene in a two-dimensional medium, such as paper. The most characteristic features of linear perspective are that objects appear smaller as their distance from the observer increases, and they are subject to foreshortening, meaning that an object's dimensions along the line of sight appear shorter than its dimensions across the line of sight
. In a more general sense, perspective can also refer to a particular way of considering something, a point of view, or the capacity to view things in their true relations or relative importance
. In literature, perspective is a narrator's interpretation of events, people, and places based on their own personal experiences and background
