The Lottery, Metamorphosis ', 'Carry'

Without pacing the narrative can become very flat and boring. It’s an essential part of every literature writing. So with pacing not only does it make the narrative interesting it also make the reader able to understand the story, so if something were to be paced fast it’s very likely that the reader won’t be able to understand the story at all or only understand bits and pieces of it. Evidence of pacing in stories could be found in “The Lottery”, “Metamorphosis”, “Carry”, and “Without a title.” Let’s start with Carry.

In “Carry” it’s a poem about self-reflection and how all life is connected. To get the meaning of a story the story would have to be placed out in a way for the reader to grasp the information. Linda Hogan, the author of “Carry”
