Paper 2 - Blogging the Question

Exact Question: In novels and short stories, characters tend to have both "an inner life" and a "public life." both of these may be part of the fiction, if not equally so in every work. Choose examples from your reading to discuss how and how effectively these two aspects of human existence are presented.

Question in my words: Discuss how and how effectively character's having "an inner life" and a "public life" are presented in two works.

Primary Element of Fiction, Use of Language, and/or Style that you are asked to addressed: Characterization

Two part-three works: As I Lay Dying and The Bluest Eye


Exact Question: A story has to be told by somebody. Compare in detail your impressions of the "story tellers" in two or three novels or short stories you have studied. Was the "story teller" the same as the writer (implicitly or explicitly) or not? How does this question influence your reading?

Question in my words: Compare what you thought about the narrators in two or three novels or short stories you have studies. Was the narrator and the writer the same or not? How do narrators affect how you read a story?

The second question you chose was definitely one of the questions that I was thinking about writing about with TBE and AILD, because they both involve like totally different takes on narration that are not only distinguishable from eachother, but also from other works during their times.

I like that these ask you to give your opinion, YAY being opinionated!

I think that the works chosen for the second question was a great choice. It really relates to the question and gives the opportunity for a great comparison. Good Job!
