“The Smell of Fresh Paint” would not have been as effective if the narrator were not at the center of events. The narrator wrote a first person account describing her experiences during an attack in Iraq. If the passage was written in a different point of view‚ the reader would hear more about the author’s surroundings than the author’s thoughts. The thoughts of the author is what drives the story forward‚ without them the story will not be as effective. The entire passage was a first person account

It seems too good to be true. Consequently‚ Kincaid’s experience

Its only purpose is to identify those who cheat. There are no bishops‚ knights‚ or rooks‚ but a winning
