The way a story is told and the voice that tells it are important parts of a story. Choose at least two stories from Collection 3. Analyze the role that the narrator plays in each story. Consider whether the narrator's level of knowledge is limited or omniscient, and whether or not the narrator is reliable. Finally, analyze the narrator's impact on the story's message or overall effect.

What does it mean when they ask if the narrator is reliable and if their knowledge is limited or omniscient? Thanks!

Can you trust the narrator to be objective -- or is s/he biased or nuts?

A narrator with limited knowledge doesn't know the thoughts of others. An omniscient narrator knows the thoughts and actions of other characters.
