i really need an o.r.t for changing perspective. im having a hard time finding one. if anyone has a good one it would help me heaps. cheers*

Forgive my ignorance, but what is an o.r.t.?

It's British for art, silly.

Oral Recitation Theme, probably Talia.

How about "When I was One and Twenty" by A. E. Housman?

and his perspective on life dosnt really change it is just reasured. do u interprat differently to me?

When I Was One and Twenty
--A.E. Housman


When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
'Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free.'
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.

When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,
'The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;
'Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue.'
And I am two-and-twenty,
And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.

and his perspective on life dosnt really change

At twenty-one the narrator isn't accepting the advice of the wise man; at twenty-two he is. That's a change in attitude/perspective.
