Through The Looking Glass- Inside Nailer’s Brain

An analysis of the third person limited omniscient narrative in Paolo Bacigalupi's Ship Breaker

A third person narrative takes an outsider point of view, without any "I's" and usually without any insight into the characters thoughts and feelings. I generally do not like reading third person novels, because I like knowing what the narrator is thinking. However, Ship Breaker was an exception.

The “Good Parts” Aren’t the Only Good Parts

By Peter M.

Normally, you would expect that an author writing a fiction novel would just write the story of that novel within the novel, and that his writings would solely relate to that story. You would expect that if an author wanted to talk about his life, he would write a memoir or something. Even if an author were to make comments about his writings and his life within his book for some reason, you would normally expect them to actually be true. In The Princess Bride, however, William Goldman blows all of these expectations out of the water.

Unreliably Odd or Oddly Unreliably?

by Regina C.

Writing in first person means you are writing from the point of view of one person, "I" walked down the street, and "I" tripped on an ice patch and fell down. When writing in first person  only one character's point of view is perceived to the reader. The thoughts of the character are heard, but not of any of the other characters.  The story unfolds as the character shares details about characters and events that take place in the story. Only what the character knows is known. Though we may know things about other characters in the story, our knowledge is limited because only what the character shares with the reader is known.
