Alright, time for the report on, um, how do you say it? T.T.T.? Well, however y'all put it( I love that word) I've gotten to the Forbidden Pool. Frodo and Sam had leaned of Boromir's death. I can't think of any other important parts. So thats it for that.
Peter and I just finished blowing after we had mowed since about 8:30 or so, actually I only mowed for about an hour and I didn't start at 8:30. Peter and Andrew have been mowing all morning. That better? I suppose so. I could attempt to put my paper on here. It's about the kind of narration that Jack London used in the Call of the Wild. OK, be right back.
Jack London used narration in his book, The Call of the Wild to bring the readers directly into the action, and to show them what life was like during the Klondike gold rush for the sled dogs that were used by the seekers of the yellow metal.
The story of Jack London's The Call of the Wild is told by the key character of the story. London used Limited Narration in this book. Limited narration uses that person or animal to tell directly what that person or animal thinks of his surroundings, his friends, and many other things. This kind of narration can also tell us what that person or animal is feeling, things such as temperature, terrain and hunger.
And Buck, the main character of The Call of the Wild, is no stranger to hunger. London used Buck to tell the story in a straight forward heads on way, so that we can know exactly what Buck is thinking, feeling, seeing, and smelling. In the use of Buck as narrator, London tells us what Buck is like, and his experiences in the cold and frigid North.
In the North is where Buck started the hard and punishing life of being a sled dog, though he used to be a virtual king of his old home in California. In using Limited Narration London brings the reader into Buck's mind. This kind of narration is appropriately used in this book because without knowing what Buck is thinking and feeling, the reader would not know what is happening.
Limited narration affects London's story in the way that lighting a candle gives light and heat to the area around it. Without this kind of narration the story would not be able to go anywhere. If the story didn't go anywhere, what would be the point in reading the book? Without Buck as narrator the reader would not be able to read the book in a clear way.
Jack London has used Limited Narration in brilliant way to tell the story of Buck. London also shows us his world view in a way that makes it an interesting read, and a book worth reading.
How do ya' like it? I didn't have to work to enormously hard on it, quite thankfully. Now that you've all seen that you're just gonna' have to comment, it took me a little to remember how to do that.
Please please please comment! Yours truly
