Task 7

Write about the point of view in the novel. Is it:

  • first person (an I person tells the story)
  • third person limited (you follow the perspective of one character)
  • alternating point of view (the perspective changes between several characters. Can also be called third person “less limited”)
  • or omniscient (an impersonal narrator seems to be reading the thoughts of several characters, even in the same chapter)

Give a couple of examples to prove what you are saying.

The book has a first person, an I person telling the story. One sentence that often is written in the book is starting with I and then something the main person thinks or do like one sentence can be like this: “I leaf through the newspaper to the calendar section” and the book starts with “Everyone thinks it was because of the snow. And in a way, I suppose that’s true”
