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
