Responding to "Miss Brill"
1) From what point of view is "Miss Brill" told?
- "Miss Brill" is told in 3rd person. "using he/she/they"

2) Is the narration (storytelling) told using present tense or past tense (retrospective)?
-

3) "The storyteller (aka the narrator) seems to know exactly what is going on inside Miss Brill's head. In fact, the narrator is too close to Miss Brill for a reader to know exactly what is real and what is imagined." Do you agree or disagree with this remark? Why?

Ficton

note : good ficton balances 6 elements: setting, plot,characteriztion, style, theme,and POV
Setting is the time when and place where a story happens.
settings enable(and disable) different pastibilaties good writers think long and hard about the ideal settings to use for their stories.

Narrative Point of view .

1st person- narration using "I" Narrator is a character.
2nd person- Narration using "You"
3rd person- "using he/she/they" Narratoris is an observer.

Retrospective narration- looking back- using past tense
Omniscient narration- narrator is "god like"
