@Thursday: We talked about types of narrators:
- First-Person/I- Narrator,
- Third-Person Narrator (limited) and
- Third-Person (omniscient) Narrator.
And we also had an eye on Marco’s style of telling the story and his language.
ONE CORRECTION for our scheme on the board: The third-person narrator (limited) is of course not a subjective but an objective narrator as he is not influenced or influencing by presenting a character’s feelings, opinions or thoughts. Although he is often following only one character he is still presented things as they are, not as they are perceived by anyone, thus being quite trustworthy and objective. The most reliable on, however, is of course the third-person narrator (omniscient) as stands outside the story (i.e. is not one of the characters) AND is able to give the reader insight in all the characters backgrounds, motives, thoughts, feelings and ideas, thus enabling him (the reader) to form his own opinion on the story or the events in it.
@Monday: We’ll talk about chapter 4! So, active reading is required. Use your reading log/journal, write a summary after reading chapter 4 and fill in the worksheet on Thomas Effing’s character.
Also think about what the Effing-situation has to do with Marco’s course of initiation.
