How do authors influence the readers point of view. . .?

I'm not sure if that makes sense, but I'm looking for ways that authors influence the readers point of views about ideas in a novel. It's a general question.





If its any help, one way I thought of, was having a relatable character, that we could side with and feel for, and adopt their point of view on things.





Thank you, and I hope I have explained myself clearly enough

Of course authors influence the readers point of view.


I remember in elementary school we read something called my side of the story basically you first read the normal version of Peter Pan then you read it again from Captain Hooks point of view.


They are quite two different story's kind of like when you get into a fight with a sibling and you both tell your side of the story.


Haha

How....





In my perspective, a writer (I'm an aspiring fiction writer myself) influences a reader just by putting to words what lies in her perspective per se. And when the reader understands THAT perspective so fully and so clearly, the reader begins to understand everything that the writer says and if compelling, begins to think that way.





It needs real talent for a writer to have that ability.





So there....
