Enishte And Black Chapter Summary

Improved Essays
In the previous writing, some predictions and assumptions get made. It says the secret book that Enishte and Black are working on could have revealed the murderer of Elegant. This writing also addresses the fact that each chapter within the book has a different narrator than the last. This writing was both incorrect and correct in some of the predicted facts about the secret book. It talks about how the book could somehow reveal the murderer of Elegant.

Some points of view, specifically first person and third person limited, are very limited and readers do not understand what is really going on. The purpose of a novel is to be entertained and understand a perspective you never pictured before.

In Defending Jacob by William Landay, the reader gets a limited point of view by only seeing what the defendant’s father goes through rather than what everyone is else is going through.…
