Point of View Questionaires
1. What point of view does trhe story use? Is the story told froma first-person perspective, in which the narrator is one of the characters in the story, and refers to himsef as "I"? Or is the story told from a third-person perspective, in which the narrator is not one of the characters in the story or may not participate in the events of the story?
The point of view is first-person persective but the main character "Lalla" is not the narrator, but her sister "Jane" is. Jane refers to herself as "I".
2. What are the advantages of the chosen point of view? Does it furnish any clues as to the purpose of the story?
The advantages are that the story was not told by the main character's point of view so we could see what others really think of the main character, but if the story was told by the main character herself, we wouldn't be able to really see her personality.
3. Is the narrator reliable or unreliable? Does he/she have a limited knowledge or understanding of characters and events in the story? Does the narrator know almost everything about one character or every character, including inner thoughts?
The narrator is realiable, I think she has a limited knowledge since she's not the main character, so what she does was just telling the reader about what she heard from the main character, not what she has experienced. She doesn't really know the inner thoughts of any character that much.
4. Does the author use point of view primarily to reveal or conceal? Does he ever unfairly withhold important information known to the focal character?
The author use this point of view to mostly reveal not to conceal. I think Jane do not hold any information, since she is not really the one acting out the story, but she is just the one to tell the story that she knew from the main character to the readers.
