The angle of perspective from which the story is reported is a 1st person point of view, unlike the first two volumes of the trilogy. Indeed, throughout the story, we hear the descriptions and views of the main character, Fanshawe’s old friend. He told the adventures as he experienced it, thus the story isn’t completely objective; it is impregnated by his perceptions, knowledge and judgment. Moreover, because it is Fanshawe’s friend who is relating the story, it allows the reader to better…

Power Point Script With the variety of topics covered in the curriculum over the last year, there was one topic that stood out to me the most, electricity.

I took pleasure in reading the first few chapters, but Gladwell’s writing became repetitive and I became…

An identity can affect you in very many ways. And if you don’t have a good identity then you could end up with a rough life when you grow up. Your identity is what group you fit into and how you act in that group. What you do and how you do it. For instance look at the book The Outsiders, the greasers and socs gave…

Though this may seem obvious as the author needs to establish how they are going to compose their characters and their story, however the way an author uses point of view can change the way a certain scene is read and can change the readers perception on characters. I will be looking at how the authors of the five texts establish point of view by looking at the mode of narrative within…
