Learning Objective
I can analyze how narrative structure shapes meaning in a story.
- 1
A story told from a different point of view can transform completely.
- 2
A third person narrator is necessarily a bit removed from the characters, while a first person story creates closeness between the reader and the narrator.
- 3
Second person requires the writer to make the reader suspend disbelief to become another 'you,' which can build urgency and suspense.
