As you fill this out, pay attention to a few things:
1. When the narrator disrupts the story to give his/her personal perspective.
2. When other narrators enter and exit the story.
3. How narrators interpret the events they see; the story is told through a third-party narrator
who is not objective.
4. References to time. They do not appear frequently but often enough that a reader can
track time. References to weather often hint at change.
FINALLY: Focus on character changes, character relationships, and track changes in characters’
perceptions of each other. WHAT is a character-driven novel.
