The Leap

Looks for examples of CONTRAST in the story. Find three good ones. (things and their opposites put close together)

First-person POV adds  to the story. What does it add to The Leap?

 

1. The blind, old lady vs. the young daredevil trapeze artist

2. The blind, old, weak lady, in the hospital vs. the young, talented hero

3. The adorable, romantic, couple kissing in the act vs. the young, lady herself and not her husband

 

First-person POV, adds to The Leap by making us feel like we're there, like she is talking to us, telling us about her mother. You really get to feel the narrator's feeling through it, and relate about what she is talking to us about. How she really feels that she owes her mother for her existance. And how she feels like even that is not enough.

 

I enjoy first-person POV books/stories, because I feel that I have a better understanding of the character :)
