Thank you We sneak in and here's her shmoop douceur

00:05

brought to you by narrative mode No narrative ala mode

00:09

would have been tastier and we're skimming the metamorphosis Franz

00:14

kafka gregor samsa blind me rapture director It was a

00:25

great reading We're done now which of the following literary

00:31

terms best describes the narration of this story And here

00:35

the five dollars were up Kids Lancers incident What All

00:42

right so we've got to figure out which narrative mode

00:44

this story uses Our job has made a lot simpler

00:47

by the fact that two of the choices don't describe

00:50

narrative modes at all We'll take choice B please Constance

00:55

is not related Teo bathroom habits are having issues with

00:58

them Instead It's a literary device in which continent sounds

01:02

are repeated here's An example The cockroaches lunched in a

01:07

carton of crunchy croton Yeah it's Kind of like a

01:10

liberation but specific Just cancel it's like clown college option

01:15

d is not a narrative mode either her son if

01:19

ic ation is a literary device in which something that's

01:22

not human is given human qualities For example we might

01:25

say the sun glared down on us like a human

01:29

blaring or work kicked our butt yesterday But yeah well

01:35

in this story we have a human who's turned into

01:37

a big bug but that's not personification actually since there's

01:41

a human taking on non human characteristics do we have

01:44

the opposite of personification like insect If ic ation animal

01:49

ification All right so now we've narrowed it down to

01:53

a and c Narrator is the person telling the story

01:56

and there are a few narrative modes in which he

01:58

or she can tell it Well first person narration is

02:01

easy to spot because narrator uses the pronoun i whenever

02:06

a bunch of eyes are staring at us from attacks

02:08

when there's a good chance we're in first person we're

02:11

looking into a bug anyway if gregor we're narrating the

02:14

story about himself then we'd be in the first person

02:17

territory for sure but that's not the case here so

02:20

option a has to go and that makes see limited

02:24

on nish int the correct answer If the narrator uses

02:27

he or she to describe the actions and thoughts of

02:29

the story's characters the narration is in third person Well

02:33

third person narration can be totally on Nation knows everything

02:37

about all characters or limited on nish it on Lee

02:40

knows the inner workings of specific character and since we

02:44

don't get to peek inside the brains of anybody but

02:46

greg or we know our narrator is limited But we

02:49

know if the narrator keeps trying he or she can 00:02:51.94 --> [endTime] get past those with eyes on the prize
