The Child Narrator After reading the article Child Narrators, I found it to be quite enlightening as both a reader and a writer. Several of the concepts in the article were very interesting. One passage that evoked a high interest was about the inconvenient truths uncensored. According to the passage “A child narrator can, among other things, create a degree of distance between the adult author and his or her message that serves to lessen hostility to that message… Readers tend to be more accepting of a child rather than an adult who gives voice to certain uncomfortable truths.” (Michael Seraphinoff). By creating this distance, I think it makes tough topics a bit simplistic and easier to deal with if told through the perspective of a child.
