As characters, setting, and plot are introduced, readers are often unknowingly influenced by the narrator 's viewpoint written by the author. This power of point of view allows the author to control exactly how much information is given to the audience by limiting or providing boundless knowledge to the speaker. This element can be expanded upon by an author providing multiple narrators with different viewpoints which could result in a work with various dialects, perspectives, and biases. While many authors use an all-knowing narrator, a story written may take on another meaningful connotation if told by a character with limited knowledge like that…
