Question

Discuss the type of narration used in this story, and explain why you think the narrative style is effective in emphasizing the story’s meaning. (10)

Answer 1

In Literature there are three main types of narration that are applicable in any form of material.

This include:

1. First Person - In this case, a character is the one telling the story. Hence, You'll notice a lot of "I" and "me" or "we" in first person narrations.
2. Second Person - In this case, the author uses another person to narrate or to speak to the reader. Thus, You'll notice a lot of "you," "your," and "yours" in second person narration.
3. Third Person - In this case, an external narrator is telling the story. Therefore, You'll notice a lot of "he," "she," "it," or "they" in this form of narration.
