Study the handout for this week carefully.
Read
A.] the extract from Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible
B.] the poem by Sinéad Morrissey.Address the following questions, using the terminology explained in the handout
ad A.] Describe the narrative situation in Kingsolver’s extract.
- What kind of narrators do we encounter here? What is their point of view?
- Focus on how focalisation is used to narrate the story. How does it shift throughout the narrative – between the chapters, but pay special attention to the opening chapter, narrated by Orleanna Price. How does the use of language enhance focalisation in the extract?
- Think about what kind of political intent could be read into Kingsolver’s narrative.
ad B.] Read the poem and consider its narrative situation. Who is the narrator here? Who is the addressee? Is focalisation important? What is the poem about?
