    Miranda uses point of view to be discuss a personal event in her life that caused her to witness and see the violence that was the result of years of oppression and subjugation. In the personal story, “Genealogy of Violence Part 2” by Miranda, it shows the setting of her Native American father beating her younger brother. She says that, “… [the] instrument of punishment coming from two hundred years out of the past in a movement so ancient, so much a part of our family history that it has touched every single one of us…” (34). The violence that her ancestors suffered through missionization resulted in the punishments and beatings that Little Al went through years after the missionization of Indigenous People occurred. Indigenous People were beaten and hurt while working in the Missions. They were flogged and whipped to be “corrected” for their wrong doings. However, the floggings, beatings, and whippings they endured were passed on down to the following generations. Miranda’s father beat her younger brother and Miranda seemed to show that it was a result of the violence that occurred during the missionization. Miranda uses her own personal story to show the violence. It was something she endured and something she saw as she grew up with a Native American father. Miranda reveals an important consequence of the punishments that caused so much

  • First Person Narration In Pat Conroy's The Lords Of Disciple

    1067 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Pat Conroy’s, The Lords of Disciple, first person narration is used to develop the story. Seth Reilly, a writer and fiction author, talks about what first person narration is. Reilly states in his article for aspiring novelists, “First-person perspective is writing from the point of view of your narrator, putting across the world as they see it” (Reilly). While first person narration puts the reader in the narrator’s head, this point of view has multiple advantages and disadvantages. When talking about the advantages of first person narration Reilly states, “first person can effectively communicate how each moment feels; delivering sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch, all through the prism of your narrator” (Reilly). This is one of the

  • Point Of View In The Glass Castle By Jeanette Walls

    683 Words  | 2 Pages

    In second person narrative, the narrator is not a character in the story but "you" are. In a third person narrative, the narrator exists completely outside of the story. All characters are described as "he", "she", or "it". In third person omniscient narration, the narrator can describe the innermost thoughts and feelings of her characters. This book The Glass Castle is written in first person point of view and with that said some advantages that it has is that it mirrors real life for example. We can only experience life from our own point of view, we don't know what other people are thinking. Also with first point of view it's easier to portray the characters personality, feelings and view of the world, as they are doing most of the talking. First person point of view makes readers more comfortable with the story because first person narratives have an easier time garnering empathy from their audience, since the reader spends so much time in the character's

  • Foreshadowing In The Stolen Party

    643 Words  | 2 Pages

    Before I actually started to think deeply about the short story, I thought it was just a simple idea, which was a girl named Rosaura that went to a party. This story, The Stolen Party is really about the relationship between Rosaura and Luciana and how money breaks them apart. Now that I think about, this story has a really deep meaning. The author that wrote this is really good at foreshadowing and symbolizing the important key pieces in the story. What the author is trying to hide is that Rosaura is getting used as a helper and that she is not considered as a true friend to Luciana. She is being used as a worker, just like the monkey that gets mentioned in the short story. In spite of the fact that this appears like a basic story that doesn't mean a lot, there are a ton of main ideas.

The actions the protagonist had in the story showed us how it affected her adult self, and how the issue developed a rebel over time. Even after years from when the recurring events took place, her actions as a child had an effect on both mother and daughter. This theory gives readers the idea that things that happen to people during childhood can contribute to the way they later function as
