PERSONA: The distance between the writer and the story or poems narrator;
the personality of the first, second or third person narrator and its narrative
distance from the characters. Also the guise or stance that distance creates;
the intimacy of focus it demands of the writer. Perspective and freedom of
emotion the persona narrator gives both the writer and the reader.
POINT OF VIEW: Who tells the story or poem, and why? Why one persona narrator
is chosen over another (how would The Great Gatsby be different if Gatsby told
his own story?). In third person, should the point of view be limited to one or more
characters, or omniscient? In first person, why is the story or poem most effectively
told from one particular point of view? Has the writer used letters, diary form,
multiple points of view and why? Who is the story ostensibly being told to? What is
the difference between what the persona narrator says or reveals and what is really
being said by the writer (such as with an unreliable narrator)?
DESCRIPTION: How the writer sets the scene and introduces characters: how it is
used to establish tone and mood and suggest the narrators personality; lyrical,
decorative, narrative, metaphorical, imagistic, etc.
ACTION: How it is used by the persona narrator to reveal character, define persona,
move the story along, seduce the readers interest, develop narrative flow.
SENSE OF TIME/PLACE: How they support narrative flow and reveal character,
etc.; become characters themselves.
LINE & STANZA FORMAT: Line breaks, structure of stanzaic units; how they are
developed and used to convey idea and narrative, image and music; controlling
logic of poem and how it determines length and mood, etc.
