"For instance, from here that looks like a bucket of water," he said, pointing to a bucket of water; "but from an ant's point of
view it's a vast ocean, from an elephant's just a cool drink, and to a fish, of course, it's home. So, you see, the way you see things depends a great deal on where you look at them from. Now, come along and I'll show you the rest of the forest." —The Phantom Tollbooth, Norton Juster Read the passage, then explain the point Alec makes about perspective. In what way does he support his ideas?
the point that the author is trying to convey is that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. what seems normal and ordinary to you may be someone elses biggest treasure. he bolsters this by giving examples comparing what a bucket of water is for differeent animals. what is a simple thing for the elephant is a home for the fish, and wht is a home for the fish is a big uncrossable path for the mouse.
