    The story is told from a third person all-knowing narrator point of view throughout the novel, and only changing which character is followed or spoken about mostly at the start of every chapter. Because this type of narrative is an all-knowing perspective in which a narrator outside of the literary work tells the story, the reader is able to determine what any character thinks or feels. This is a great writing style for this story because not only can the reader associate on a personal level with Danielle, the striving mother and the main character of the book, but the reader can also hear the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that other main and supporting characters.in order to develop the other characters and the plot of the story. With the use of a third person narrative, the story almost seems more captivating and exciting; as if the reader must explore the events of the novel as if it were personally affecting them. This type of perspective not only shows the reader the thinking process and emotions of all the characters but includes the reader on a deeper level as…

    In most traditional works of literature, the existence of narration is both a crucial and mandatory element in order to fulfill the writer's purpose. Such works of literature include short stories and novels. The importance of the narrator goes beyond the act of simply telling a story that happens in a specific place at one particular point in time. Through the course of the years, famous writers have used the narrator as a tool to create suspense and force the audience to read the story from a specific point of view. Within this group of writers, William Faulkner and Charlotte Perkins Gilman have used the narrator to allow the reader to interpret the story from a desired point of view. Faulkner achieves this by using first person narrator…
