The Handmaid's Short Story Of An Hour '

1. The story is narrated in a first person point of view by a puppy who speaks about his mother. He only states his opinion on her at the very end. His mother is the center of his attention throughout the narration and he rarely says things such as " of course i said nothing " to address himself. We do not learn his name or if he believed his mother was in the wrong. He only defends her at the end of the passage showing a small spark of an opinion towards her.

2. The puppy who narrates the story is actually a minor character in his own story. His mother takes the spotlight and he only speaks about his observations of her as she interacted with others at gatherings. He notices her personality traits and praises the good as well as the bad.
He states that she raised them well and " taught me to be confident ans self assured ". The puppy believes that even though she acted for herself at gatherings she was a very capable mother.

3.
The narration is limited to the main character's own thoughts and observations. He cannot state what his mother was thinking during these interactions or while learning these words he can only state what he saw her doing and what he noticed such as small wavers in her confidence. He is able to tell us after speaking about her actions at gatherings that she " did not care enough to learn the meanings of these words she learned." This is based only on his own opinions and observations.

4. The point of view lets us see into the mind of the puppy and explains his actions and opinions though there are few. We as readers are unable to see into his mothers mind to find the reasons behind her actions, The main character's thoughts are the only ones we occasionally see. His own actions were remaining quiet at these gatherings. We are able to tell why he did this but he does not go into depth about his own feelings. We know only what he is able to explain to us.

5. The point of view does not change however the focus shifts almost immediately to the puppies mother as though following her through gatherings and following her as she sat absorbing information. The puppy seems to know her actions however we never see into her mind. When he states she did not actually care what the words meant he is assuming. He observes the dislike other dogs has for his mother but we never see through their eyes or the eyes of his
mother.
