Legend is told in a two person perspective. June is being trained to be somebody really high in the military, while Day is the most wanted criminal in the Republic. Nobody ever imagined them two crossing paths but one day June's brother, Metias gets murdered and it's up to her to find why and how this happened, of course Day is one of the suspects. As the book continues the two cross paths and start a journey together where they find out many things about the Republic and just the truth about everything happening, things just start making more sense, this just brings them closer which leads to some romance between them, etc. Throughout this book you find a lot of conflict, mysteries, lessons, and just about what a good book would have.

As you read the book the Republic catches Day, by this time June and Day had already met each other and gotten close. Since June works with the Republic she doesn't know whether to help “the love of her life” which means she’ll betray the entire Republic, or to let down Day. On the other hand Day has an internal conflict with the guilt of abandoning his family and lying to them about being dead. After they take him to the camps where he escapes they lie about his death to his family. Later on he finds out his family has the plague going on and doesn't know how to help them without them finding out he’s alive and that he hasnt came back to …show more content…
The book switches out between them and tells their story, each having their own chapters. Because it's written in this point of view we can get into the character's mind and know how they feel, what they think, etc. It also allows us to see a certain event in both of their perspectives and hear their thoughts about it or how they felt. If this book was written in 3rd person omniscient we would be able to hear the thoughts of the many other characters. I think it would get confusing because it would be so many perspectives of one situation and it would make the story
June and Day quickly become close and begin to trust each other, but June doesn’t realize that she has actually met the infamous Day until she sees him look for comfort in a pendant that had been lost while he was in the hospital trying to steal medicine for his family. June being the Republic’s most prized prodigy, she connected the dots and quickly discovered that this stranger was Day, the criminal,but didn’t let him or Tess know. This is the first time in the book where June is confused as to why things aren’t as they seem or as she thought. She presumed that Day would be a bloodthirsty, violent, and intimidating person, but in reality he is loving, caring, beautiful, and passionate.
Day is worried about the poor being evacuated so he asks the elector, the Republic's leader where they are going to be sent. Day wants the poor to be treated equally so he pressures the elector into making it easier for the poor to be evacuated. During the evacuation of the capital city Day thinks about the poor and his brother being evacuated prompting him to ask the elector, where are the poor being sent? During the evacuation June thinks about getting out safely and Day’s brother. This shows how Day uses his heart and thinks about everyone. Compared to June who uses more logic and just thinks about getting her job done of getting out safely.“Where are you evacuating the poor”. (Lu 109) When the elector tells Day the poor aren't his first priority he stays back to help them. June does not like this idea but
In the beginning of their journey, June and Day are both in pursuit of something: June wants revenge for her brother’s death and Day needs medicine to help cure his younger brother, Eden, from the
Point of View: This book is set in 3rd person point of view. The point of view didn’t enhance the book in anyway. In my opinion, this book would have done better as a 1st person point of view with the characters taking turns narrating in each chapter. With first person, the author could really work on describing the characters’ emotions.
This is beneficial to the story because the readers get a broader understanding of what each character is doing.. This is important because the main character (the women) is locked up in her room for the majority of the story. If the story was written in 1st person through her eyes the readers would not know the events that took place outside of the women’s room. Likewise, if the story was told in first person through the eyes of the husband we would not know what events took place in the room with the women. Another great reason third person works for this story is because it leaves the reader with many questions.
It is the Republic that want to kill Day, and all Day wants is to toy with them. The conflict is resolves when June finds some hidden diary entries from her deceased brother which explains everything. This new information matches up with what Day has tried to convey to her. This impacts Day and June’s perspective of their so called “impenetrable government. On pages 250-251, June make an insane conclusion.
an excellent book. One of the most important things I learned from this book is that you can't be too quick to trust someone. There are two parts of the book where I found this. One of them is the time that June tells the Republic about Day’s location when Day trusted June because they had been with each other for a while and had started becoming good friends. Then June tells the republic to go to Day’s house and tells Day to go to his house because they are going to take his brother away. This ends up with Day’s mother being executed so that they can capture Day. When I was reading this it shocked me that June would even tell the Republic because she and Day were falling in
The Chancellor grants Day a three day cease fire to give Day time to make up his mind. Soon thereafter the call, Day witnesses Tess being taken under quarantine from being infected with the very disease causing the war to rampage. On the first day of the promised ceasefire, June and Day profess their love for each other. Day wakes up in the middle of the night in June’s bed, Day is fooled that June is asleep and goes on a walk where he ends up visiting his old house, where June follows him to. June witnesses Day reminiscing about all that he once had, and the pain of losing his family (which June had been deeply involved in). June had previously noticed the way Day flinched and retreated from her before, and is enveloped in sadness at the fact that she wished that they were just normal people that one day passed on the street, and stopped to say hi (Day’s previous wish he had confessed to June the night they professed their love). On the second day Eden is sent to the hospital for experimenting for the cure. June is on her way to a senator meeting when she notices that Commander Jameson is following her. She follows her, but then June thinks that she may have lost her. June calls in with Anden to inform him, but is cut short when Commander Jameson attacks her. June barely makes it out alive. June and Day then convince Anden to pretend surrender to The
The book starts off told from the perspective of Takeo and then on every odd chapter being from Takeo’s point of view, while every even chapter showing the story from Kaede’s perspective. That is until chapter 6 where they finally meet up where the novel shifts to being told from a 3rd person perspective that is focalised through the main characters. This shift in perspective is used to show that Takeo and Kaede have become one relatively speaking in regards to their goals and obligations. The loss of voice between the characters allows the audience to focus on the emotions and effect that the characters are having rather than focusing on the dialogue. This use of narrative structure further adds to the atmosphere and themes of power within the novel as a whole and how its context is
Even though “Day did not fail his Trial,” the government chose to send him to a lab to perform an experiment with his body because Day possesses a miraculous talent (pg.157, Lu). Due to their greed for power, they chose to deceive the magnificent individual to gain benefits. Day, however, develops an internal conflict as he cannot forget the horrendous memories from the experiment lab. Also, June is the only character who discovers that Day did not fail his test, which confuses her as she does not comprehend the government’s decision. Eventually, these internal conflicts are externalized by the two characters when they choose to rebel in order to find the truth.
This sixth chapter in the Star Wars series is told in a third person omniscient perspective. It tells the facts and interprets events, feelings, and thoughts from each character throughout the story. The viewer gets to see the story from multiple perspectives. Primarily in the earlier chapters, the narration followed Luke, but in this chapter it follows his friends, like Han Solo and Chewbacca, in smaller subplot stories to give each character more
I believe this is so because having a story narrated from the 3rd person, all the little and unknown details you would other wise not know, can be explained which lets you get right into the thoughts of the characters so you can really know what is going
Third person takes a narrative route that allows us to see everything that’s happening. The book showed how America was going bad throughout each chapter. In the final chapter (chapter 30) when the stillborn baby is sent down the lake by Uncle John, it allows readers to know how cruel people were to those in need. People that had money were so selfish, that they wouldn’t even help a soon to be mother who was pregnant. Route 66, where all the diners are, gave us another example. Mae, who was resistant to giving a man a ten cent loaf of bread, eventually gave two children a piece of candy each. She gave it to the them, two for a penny. But one of her customers stormed out and corrected her on how much they actually were and slams the door, no longer wanted service from her. Sad how he was mad because she treated them kindly.
In both The Pearl and The Red Pony, Steinbeck chose to tell these stories in third-person omniscient view. This use of third person can allow the reader to better understand the characters, such as Kino regarding his child “Some day, his mind said, that boy would know what things were in the books and which ones were not” (“The Pearl” 27). Also, when Jody leaves the barn “He wished he believed everything Billy said as he had before the pony died” (“The Red Pony” 72).Both stories third person views give the reader a peek into what the character is actually thinking, which is sometimes a much needed
The point of view of a narrator can make or break a story, as the narrator is extremely important to the reader's understanding of a story. Different points of view and different narrators can oftentimes affect the point the story is attempting to portray and it even change what the reader believes the story is about. If someone were to go through a story written in a first-person narrative story and change all the pronouns to a third-person point of view, or even a first person plural point of view, it can distort the way the reader understands and comprehends the story.
