3. Point of view/narration often contributes to the meaning of a story. Choose one story and describe the point of view. Why is this point of view significant in the story?

Third person and first person feed the reader different information. When we think in third person, we do not get the same internal emotions and troubles as we do when a story is told in first person. Third person is thought to be more impersonal, talking about the physical actions rather than emotional feelings of the character.

Grammatical Analysis #1 The first noticeable aspect of Michael Crichton’s piece “Premature Burial” is the author’s affinity for long, cumbersome sentences.
