Narrator Leaves Walters Secret Life Very Open
A story is only as good as the one who tells it. Anyone can write a story, but a good writer knows how to use the tools of writing correctly. One of these tools is point of view. There are a few different points of view a writer can use. There is first person. This is where the teller is participating in the story. Then there is third person. This is where the teller of the tale is not participating in it. With third person the teller could be in everyone's minds. He knows what everyone is thinking. Or he could just know what one character is thinking. Yet another type of third person is where the teller of the story is explaining it as if he is really there but doesn't have any access to the characters inner thoughts.

The author lets us decide for ourselves whether she is nagging or not. ' Some people might have taken this as her nagging Mr. Mitty, so his interpretation of what was happening is an alteration of reality. After the initial shock, I thought that this man was absolutely losing his mind. Or maybe these fantasies are his only way to feel adequate. Mitty, but that would be there own personal opinion possibly molded from their own experiences. The text did not read, "Remember to get those overshoes while I'm getting my hair done," nagged Mrs. Well, after that first seen I began to become curious as to what his next fantasy would be. I assumed him to be old, but I don't think that his age was ever mentioned during this story. For Example: In the beginning of the story the two are diving to town and this is how the text read, '"Not so fast! You're diving too fast!" said Mrs.
