Roselily
1. This stories point of view is limited third person, meaning that the narrator knows everything about one character but dose not know everything about the other characters. I think the affect of the point of view used in “Roselily” allows the reader to understand the main character better. It also allows the reader to understand Roselily’s circumstances because the reader sees into her past and is able to comprehend all that she’s been through. If another point of view would be used I think that the story would lose its edge because most of the story is the character reflecting on Roselily’s past, this would not be as straight to the point as reading what’s going through her mind.

This paragraph prepares the reader for the rest of the story.
