  5. Narrative Perspectives / Voices Third person narrative: ‘he’, ‘she’ • Who is the narrator? • The author? A narrator? Another character? • Can the narrator be trusted? • Is the narrator aware of his/her own prejudices / values? • Does the narrator influence you to sympathise with or reject the other characters?

  6. Other devices: speech (diction/tone) • Is the language used formal or colloquial? technical or layman? (diction) • What tone is conveyed? Pompous? Objective? (refer to tone words in Paper 1 tutorial package) • What social / economic background can you deduce from the way a character speaks? • What character traits (eg. naïve, judgemental) are revealed through speech?
