Short Story Of Canute

The point of view in the story is the third person because there is a narrator who

Man is a product of two worlds— the one he inhabits and the one he strives to create. The fisherman in Lawrence Sargent Hall’s “The Ledge” is caught somewhere between the two. A calloused, hardworking man who lives in a cold corner of the world, he is a father, a husband, and a man. Hall uses the perception of others, the actions of the protagonist, and direct narration to ultimately expose the real, imperfect humanity of the fisherman.

With third person limited narrative, the narrator is not a character within in the story. This form of narrative presents minimal thoughts of one character while the rest of the characters are presented independently. Ultimately, "Cathedral" and "The Lady with the Dog" use different points of view, however, they are still capable of influencing how to reader perceives each text.

Sometimes our everyday experiences can strike us in ways that will influence our thinking in ways that might forever alter the way that we view our lives. In the short story “Fish Story,” Rick Bass primarily uses conflict, symbols, and the changes in a character to present a central theme reflecting the inevitability of our maturing thoughts and growing responsibilities that come incrementally with age. Gullason (1982) shares, “A short story represents a prose narrative usually concerned with a single aspect of personality changing or revealed as the result of conflict” (p. 222). We might interestingly find both of these dynamics within our weekly discussion’s short story assignment. Pigg (2017) explains, “The theme of a work of fiction is as much a creation of readers as it is for the writer because the user’s knowledge and beliefs play a part in determining the theme(s) they will recognize” (Attend Topic 4 Unit 2 [Video]). The writer of this week’s short story was likely to have known the theme that he intended to communicate while also recognizing the diversity of human thinking that gives us a myriad of perspectives. The “’Fish Story’s’ narrator is a 10-year-old boy in the early 1960’s living in rural Texas with parents who run a service station while their customer brings a 86 pound catfish creating a task to keep the fish alive until time to cook it” (Bass, 2009, pp. 1-2). As we recall our childhoods, most can likely remember how our imagination and fantasies began to collide with the realities of life, and this overreaching concept might allude to the theme of this piece of work. The narrator tells us how “He grew dizzy in the heat and from the strange combination of the unblinking monotony and utter fascination of his task until the trickling from the water hose seemed to be saturating and inflating the clouds as one would water a garden” (Bass, 2009, p. 2). As the narrator embraces the mundane task, his daydreams seem to symbolize the innocence of his youth. Later the story’s narrator “speaks less of childhood than of the general nature of the world in which we live, while contemplating that those days were different – we had more time for such thoughts, that time had not yet been corrupted”

Evidently, everything in the storyline is seen through the narrator’s point of view. The points are suggested in the following quotation: “I have often wondered […]” (p. 1 l. 5) and ”[…] the old man seemed incongruous and pathetic” (p. 2 l. 35). In conclusion the first quotation obviously is the proof on the first point concerning a first-person narrator. Secondly, the following quotation clearly shows us the unreliability connected to the narrator due to the judgmental characterization of the protagonist, however, the narrator is telling the truth about the the narrator’s own personal view throughout the story. Accordingly, this type of narrator catches the recipient and connects the recipient with the story, as though as the reader is the narrator, which intensifies the experience with the short story. Additionally, it also increases the comprehension of the

The story I am analyzing is ”Seventh grade” is a story made by Gary Soto. This short story is fiction because although Gary Soto relates to Victor, the main character, the events are unreliable. Gary Soto wrote this short story for the sole purpose of entertaining the audience made of middle schoolers. The theme of this short story is what really grabs the attention of readers because the readers are able to relate. With that being said, or in this case typed, the theme is that it is nerve wracking talking to your crush. The point of view of this story is third person limited which means that the narrator is not part of the story but instead is told through the eyes of one of the characters. Although if the story was third person omniscient

“But the memory of that lost bass haunted me all summer and haunts me still.” In the story, The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant by W.D Wetherell is set mostly on the river. This story was told from the point of view of the main character, the narrator, who has a secluded crush on Sheila Mant but has an obvious crush on fishing. But what he does not see is who Sheila truly is under her skin until she agrees to go on a canoe ride with him. As they set out the narrator drifts a line in the water while when he sees new things about Sheila and her view on fishing. As he begins to carry on more of a conversation he gets a bite on his rod from what felt like the biggest bass of his life. Because of the narrator’s blind love for her, he let the fish go. In the Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant the author creates hesitation in the narrator’s decision between his true love and his blind love, through the use of conflict, Irony, and symbolism

The narrator will not start talking about things that other people have seen or heard. For example, let's say that Faith saw something but Goodman did not see it or hear it, we will never hear about it because it is only from Goodman's viewpoint. What is also good about having a limited omniscient narrator is that they are not subjective. A first-person narrator is very subjective because they are with one sole character and agree with everything that character has to say because they are always in their minds. A third-person limited omniscient is always with one character, but can also get out of the character's mind and tell it from a narrator's point of view. For example, "They did so; and, by the blaze of the hell-kindled torches, the wretched man beheld his Faith, and the wife her husband, trembling before that unhallowed altar" (344). This is a great example of what I was talking about. He calls Goodman Brown a wretched man which would only happens because it is in third-person omniscient point of view.

And finally, the Fisherman from "The Ledge" by Lawrence Sargent Hall gets too comfortable while competing with nature. All of these characters learn that pride can

According to the author, “nature and the things they had worked so hard for provided for their existence and give them the sense of security that made envying others or contemplating or desiring a different way of life moot.” it explain that the nature had given them their existence, and the safety. Which made the others jealous and have different way of life to discuss (Schubnell). In addition, what is ensure that the “the gentlemen assured him that they would pay him a fair compensation in exchange for part of his fishing rights.” In here shows that the company wanted to buy his river with good offers, which illustrate the beginning of the destruction of nature and their desire, too (Schubnell). What is in this story tells us that a fisherman

In the novella, The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago is an unlucky fisherman who has not caught anything in 84 days.  Yet he sets out alone on the 85th day to try again.  For three days he struggles with a large marlin which he finally kills; but, despite his best efforts, he loses the fish to repeated shark attacks.

I sit on the stepping stool with my dangled feet below on my dining room chair thinking about all the exam that I have next week. Suddenly my cousin Candee Graham starts knocking the door, desperate with a giant crazy idea. He walks in and the first thing he asks me is if I already ate, he looks straight to the refrigerator and open the door weirdly normal, looking for liquid food. He is very hungry and so do I. There is the latest restaurant in town called “Picken Liken Chicken“ and he is crazy about it, the first thing he does is to invite me to go, but I have to do a lot of study for my exams next week and I’m not able to go.

2. Since the narrator is anonymous, the point of view is spoken in third person.
