    In everyday life, we see many examples of the flaws of humans and narrators. For example, CNN and Fox News are both news channels who usually have the same stories that they report on. CNN could report on the story from a more Liberal standpoint but Fox News could report on the same story but from a more Conservative standpoint. Whose story would you trust? That is the main flaw about our society and about people in general, is that we lie or re-write a story to fit what we believe or what we want to hear, instead of telling the full truth. Sometimes, these traits are similar even in fictional stories, when they involve the narrator. Narrators expose flaws when they introduce themselves in their conversations and actions. In the short story…

    In comparison, Olsen's "I Stand Here Ironing" allows the mother to become the narrator. The mother expresses the difficulties her daughter went through as she was growing up. The mother sends her daughter away to her father's home and then to an orphanage facility. Unfortunately, because of her inability to care for Emily at such a young age, she has the present guilt that she was never able to care for her like she was the others. This is one instance where point of view and the choice of the narrator have a major impact on the outcome of the story. If the story were to be told by the daughter, it could have potentially had a completely different theme, as well as outcome.…

    Unbeknownst to Alice, she found that out through Lydia’s journal. However, when Lydia calls Alice out on it, Alice has no recollection of reading the journal and is in fact, stunned. Somehow she remembered that bit on the acting class, meaning the dementia has only taken away some of her episodic memory. Alice is left with only a fact, and nothing else. Consequently, a heated argument ensues. After this heated argument between Alice and Lydia, Alice feels tension the next morning at breakfast. However, she is unable to recall what the argument is about, as when Alice is alone with Lydia, she says “I know we argued about something, but I cannot remember what it was about.” Intriguingly, Alice remembers the emotions involved and when Lydia states the argument was nothing, Alice rebuttals with “No, I upset you”. She is keeping the conversation going and in turn is getting more details of the event from Lydia; Alice is making up for her failing episodic memory. The dementia has taken away more of…

    In the late 19th century, mental illness was considered an embarrassment to the family, and it was something that was dealt with behind closed doors. In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” the narrator, who suffered from depression, is literally concealed behind closed doors as she is locked away in an old nursery, surrounded by a grotesque wallpaper. The narrator does not understand the unfair treatment on account of her husband’s orders. She naively accepts her fate until she finally realizes that she is capable of freeing herself from the yellow wallpaper, literally and figuratively. The author of the short story, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, explores the woman’s perspective of the oppressive situation utilizing point of view.…

    Pretty Little Liars is written in third person narrative. This third person narrative is very omniscient as the reader is able to see each characters point of view. This therefore allows the reader to be able to understand and interpret each situation or dilemma that the individual characters are going through. They are able to understand the characters relationships as the chapters are chronologically ordered in order for the events that happen in the story to be conveyed as such. Even though the narrator is very omniscient and knows the events leading up to the end of the novel, the narrator is very unintrusive. This means that they do not comment directly on events in the story or relationships between the characters in the story. The only way that the narrator expresses their views is by the way that they present the characters and imply certain views of their through the way the character is shown and perceived by the reader. This therefore can influence the way the reader interprets the events and characters in the story and is done by the author and narrator in a way that allows their views to be taken in by the reader. The third person narrative is equally shared by each of the four main characters therefore making the idea of the narrator being omniscient seem more believable.…

    We all die someday; eventually everything has to come to an end. No matter what we do to prevent it, to hold it off, death will catch up to us in the end. Kazuo Ishiguro expresses a clear understanding of the effect death can have on people; both when they themselves are confronted by their own death, or when faced with the death of a loved one. In his novel, Never Let Me Go, Ishiguro explores the inevitability of death; through the use of symbolism, tone, and characterization he illustrates a society in which death has been normalized, leading to passivity. Ishiguro uses several symbols in his story to indicate the unavoidability of death, how willing the characters are to accept the death of the donors, their friends, and of the things they…

    By having a third person narrator narrate the story, the story becomes more reliable, resulting in the purpose of the story not being lost. The narrator is able to give the reader a more reliable picture, regarding the relationship between Peter and Sonia, and the mum meddling in Sonia’s private life, compared to if it had been a first person narrator. Howev-er, the point of view, which the narrator uses, is Sonia’s. By doing so, the narrator becomes limited and loses credibility, seeing that the thoughts and feelings Sonia is having throughout the story are included in the narration. This and the fact that her thought are not marked in any way to create a distinct line between narration and indirect speech. An example from the story could be, “Is there really nothing to do at all on a Sunday, she wonders; does nothing even pass through?” Another example from the story could be, “ ’We’re almost home,’ and ‘Won’t it be nice to be home?’ as if this were her home too.” Here the narrator adapts the tone Sonia would use into the narration, thereby creating a closer relation between reader and main character, yet also becoming…
