The stories I read all convey characterized perspective in the sense that the narrator in them are the main character,and they influence how it's told because other characters thoughts can't be heard.

When Seamus read the poem to Frank, he cried because it reminded him of Frank and Patricia. The beginning of the two friendship was when Patricia called out “Yoo hoo. You there Typhoid Boy?” (McCourt 193). This created the story as if that had not happened, the story never could have been
