This is not an essay about narrative modes

By Rosie P.


Warm Bodies is a novel written Issac Marion. He uses first person through the entire story. It remains in the point of view of R, a zombie different from the rest. He has his feelings, life, and friends like any other person. It's much different from any other zombie though. He ends up bringing a living human back on a hunt. That's when everything changes. R himself changes as well.
Regardless of being dead R is still easy to connect to. He has a striking personality and a mindset of an outsider. Marion makes the use of first person quite rarely. Most of the book we remain in R's mind where he tells the story of his experience of being dead. 
Personally I think Warm Bodies has done a great job with the modes it used.
