Narratology

When the storyline moves in a subjective narration, the viewers tend to become closer to the character who narrates the story from his viewpoint. Many of the films fall under the mix of objective and subjective narration, where halfway through the films the narration shifts from either subjective to objective or the other way round. Particularly in the 1941 American mystery film Citizen Kane, the film moves into a nonlinear storyline. When a group of journalists starts investigating about the life

From verses 16 to 23, one can see the narrator making personal reflections that the reader is privy to thanks to the first person narration.

Importance of a Setting In literature, a story’s setting not only creates conflict, but it may also determine the choices that characters ultimately make, affecting the complications the story may have. The setting contributes to the plot of three short stories that have been read in class. In The Father, written by Hugh Garner, one setting is a graveyard that symbolizes a relationship in the plot. Throughout Borders, by Thomas King, the setting of a border dividing Canada and the US is obvious

The character roles and point of view played a big role in this story. The point of view in this story is third person omniscient. Third person omniscient is a method of storytelling in which the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters in the story. The narrator in "Sweat" is in smack in the middle of the hot, sweaty action of the story.
