Piper’s birthday. Jillian is trying to convince Piper to help her make a plan for Valentine’s day. My story is told by Piper, the main character, and is in the point of view of the first person. An example from the book would be; ‘I shrug. “I just don’t see the point. It’s not like it’s required.”’ I know it is in first person point of view because the narrator says ‘I’. Some supporting characters include Peter, who is an ex-boyfriend of Piper, Stuart, who is Claire’s boyfriend (ex later on),…

The reason I chose this topic was more or less due to the fact that I do not have many interests outside of gaming, and because other ideas I had seemed far too inconsistent at providing results. I did not particularly want to do this topic, but time restraints and other issues made it the most suitable choice. The majority of my research was based around literature review, more specifically,…

1. This short story grabbed my attention from the moment I finished the first sentence to the end of the story. During the first few paragraphs I thought that she was very depressed and saddened from hearing about her husbands death. Of course as soon as she whispers the words “free, free, free!” I knew that she felt happy about her husband’s death.

However, what is less obvious is the narrator’s underlying insecurity that accompanies this quality. Like many other first person narrators, Carver’s protagonist is not entirely reliable and the reader must question his honesty, both with himself and with the reader. When taking a closer look at the narrator and what he chooses to reveal…
