Liliana Heker used third person limited to create suspense and surprise. This also is very important because again the story needs to be interesting and not boring for more people to read it.

One example is that at the end of the story when rosara was given the money and not a loot bag at the end of the party everyone reading the story was some what surprised, and there was suspense created. This would not have happened if we knew everything happening involving the other characters.

The example shows how third

    These is My Words Using a first-person narrative, the reader can sometimes detect that Sarah is interpreting other people’s actions and feelings incorrectly. If the book had been written in third-person, it would not have left the reader in anticipation and excitement for Sarah to discover what the others actually felt, as the reader would not only focus on one person. For example, readers could tell from the very beginning that Sarah had “stolen [Jack’s] very heart away” (Turner 285). However, because it was told from Sarah’s point of view, readers watched her slowly fall for him and discover his affection towards her. Sarah is a unique woman, especially for her time period.…

    The story is always told in third person, but it only comes from one character at a time. The focus of narration changes from David to Norah, Caroline, and even Paul, so the audience is introduced to many different character opinions and stories. Edwards does an exquisite job of writing in a way that taps into the mind of the characters and their feelings. Another key example of point of view, is the way Edwards shifts back and forth from David’s life with Paul to Caroline’s life with Phoebe. By making their lives parallel to one another, it gives the reader even more insight as to how the lie affects them individually.…

    The Narrator’s point of view is a very important factor in a story. How a story is perceived is highly influenced by the perspective from which the story is being told. While comparing two stories, the point of view of the narrator is an important point to consider. After analyzing “The Yellow Wallpaper,” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and “The Story of an Hour,” by Kate Chopin it’s clear that: the narrator’s point of view is vital to “The Yellow Wallpaper”, but nowhere near as important to “The Story of an Hour”. Because the “The Yellow Wallpaper” uses first person to narrate the story it helps the reader to understand the reasoning behind the actions and feelings of the protagonist.…

    I have a love-hate relationship with Fugue by Laura Hendrix Ezell. My attention was captured right from the first page with Paulette’s games, and how literal the “terrible, relentless as dogs” her dreams was. Fugue was so well written but the story left me with so many unresolved questions in my head that I could not let it go. Ezell did a wonderful job with creating suspensions for the story after painted an exposition filled with fear: two times the protagonist woke up with no memory of what had happened and where she was. I personally attracted and prone to stories with people who suffered from some kind of mental illness, maybe because I saw so many common between it and I.…

    Analysis and interpretation of Rudyard Kipling’s short story “Lispeth” The short story “Lispeth” is about the Indian Hill-girl Lispeth, who, ever since her parents died of cholera, is a half-servant, half-companion for two Englishmen; a priest and his wife. The story deals with many issues, such as identity crisis and unrequited love, but most of all a critique of Christianity and on the Western mindset towards the natives. The point of view in this short story is a 3rd person point of view, but as a reader you do not know who the narrator is, except that it is an omniscient narrator with great sympathy and compassion for Lispeth. It could easily be Lispeth telling her story from a 3rd person point of view while being omniscient.…
