The Lone Ranger And Tonto Fistfight Heaven

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.

In “The Amazing Penguin Rescue” the point of view is second person throughout most of the story and some third person while in “Saving penguins, One Sweater at a Time” is third person in the whole story. An example of this is “You’re hungry, so you head down to the water’s edge”(Tarshis15). I feel that in Lauren Tarshis’ story you get more experience and helps you understand what’s happening because it’s like you’re the penguin and you’re experiencing these things. In Kristen Lewis’ story you don’t feel that way at all.

Throughout most of the novel Tony Morrison uses third person point of view but in part two, however, she changes to first person and has another character take the role of narrator. Changing between first and third person narratives can help a reader gain interest as well as focus. Therefore, the reader will try to figure out what character they are following in the story. In addition, another possible reason would be the limitations that each perspective brings. The ability to change perspectives within the story can bring either disastrous effects or constructive support.

The point of view of Girl In The Blue Coat is first person. Girl In The Blue Coat is written from the perspective of Hanneke, a dutch girl living in Amsterdam during world war 2. How I know this is because in the book there is examples of her own life experiences, while using the words I, me, and my.

People often believe many of the stereotypes that come with the Indian culture. In Sherman Alexie’s, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, alcoholism among the Native American characters is very prevalent. It could be argued that the Native Americans in the story drink alcohol because of the stereotype that it’s part of their culture. I contend that they drink as an approach to cope with their many life hardships.

In the stories, "two kinds" and "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven," we see

Narrative point of view refers to the position of the narrator in relation to the story that one is narrating. As such, when evaluating the point of view of the narrator, one focuses on the relationship between the narrator and the characters in the story. There are three major points of view that narrators can adopt while narrating a story. These are first-person, second-person, and third-person point of views. Either of the foregoing points of views have different effect on the understanding and believability of the characters or the story being told, as is evident from O Pioneers! and As I Lay Dying novels.

In the 1st person point of view the reader sees the story unfold from the perspective of the narrator. Many novels use this convention such as classics like Catcher in the Rye and Treasure Island. This point of view allows the reader to sympathize with the narrator/main character and place themselves in the lives of these characters. Because of this, however, 1st person narration is limited and biased. The narrator can only know what is taking place around them and even then, the narrator can be considered unreliable due to being able to change certain

Imagine a world without hope, diversity, uniqueness, heroes and role models. Everybody would have the same height, shape, voice, skin color, eye color, hair color, clothes, job, interests and so on. They would most likely live in the same type of home, own the same things, speak the same language and eat the same food. If a person tried to be unique, the society would try to drag that person down to society’s hopeless status. Personally, I couldn’t stand a minute in a world like that. Unfortunately, worlds like these exist. In Sherman Alexie’s The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight in Heaven, Alexie writes about a typical Indian reservation in the United States without hope, diversity, uniqueness, heroes and role models. A large

The first short story of the novel is titled, “The Things They Carried”. Being narrated as third-person limited you are offered an outside perspective with only access to Lieutenant Jerry Cross’ thoughts and emotions within the story. Through this narration the interpretation of truth is different than if it were narrated only from Lieutenant Jerry Cross’ perspective. As O’Brien writes, “ It was a bright morning in mid-April. Lieutenant Cross felt pain. He blamed himself.” O’Brien writes as his fictionalized self in which as the narrator he

O’Brien most likely wrote parts of the story in third person because it is traditional and benefits the reader by allowing them to get to know multiple characters rather than just the narrator. “The Things They Carried” and “Speaking of Courage” are two of the more personal chapters in the novel and by writing them in third person, the reader may feel more involved in the story. They can also learn more about the soldiers and the events of the

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

Post-Colonialism has been somewhat beneficial to the Native Americans in recent years. Post-Colonialism is the political or cultural condition of a former colony. Obviously, when discussing Post-Colonialism in North America it’s mostly going to be about the founding of the continent and its original thirteen colonies. Throughout the years after the colonization of North America, the Native Americans haven’t really had the best outcome, especially when it comes to the way that they are treated. They haven’t been treated with respect when it comes to being in the film industry, politics, or even just living life day to day as an average person. Sherman Alexie’s “The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven” and “Postcards to Columbus” have

The differences between first and third person perspectives are detrimental when making the decision on which to use when writing. They are almost exactly polar opposites of each other, ones advantage being the others disadvantage and vice versa. In the aspect of the

It is in first person because it is narrated by the main character Huckleberry Finn. The narrator's perspective is that he likes to be on his own and not civilized. This is Huck’s perspective because in the book it says “ here weren’t no home like a raft. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft.” This develops throughout the text by that in the beginning they are trying to get civilized but it was annoying to them. Then they run away and experience tragic things such as friends dying. Then they meet back at the raft and have a good
