Narrator

Plot

What is the sequence of events?Is there an underlying sub plot? Which themes are considered? Is foreshadowing used? Hints of what’s to come Does the writer use any flashbacks or flashforward?

Narrator

Is the narrative voice first person or third person? First person - The narrator is a character in the story – uses I and me Third person – The narrator is not part of the story – uses he, she, they Omniscient narrator - The all seeing, all knowing narrator who can get into the minds of the characters

Characters

What impressions does the writer give you about certain character(s)? Do we learn about them through action, description or dialogue? Do any characters change? Are we party to a stream of consciousness (inner thoughts and feelings)? Does the writer reflect a dialect or accent which may tell us more about the time, place or character? Is there a protagonist ‘hero’ or an antagonist ‘villain’? Does the writer use a foil? A character to contrast with another to draw attention to particular qualities/characteristics.

Perspectives

Are there different characters perspectives/viewpoints on events or do we only have one perspective? Is irony used? A discrepancy between the expected state and how things really are. Could be just irony or situational, dramatic or verbal irony. Situational – outcome of a situation is different to that expected Verbal – a person says one thing but means another Dramatic – the audience is given information that is denied to a character

Atmosphere

What type of atmosphere has the writer tried to convey? Which language features/sentence structure has the writer used to create a certain mood or tone? Does the description of the setting (time and place) set the tone or mood? How? Does the atmosphere or setting change? How?

Links

Are there any noticeable links made between: The beginning and the end? Paragraphs? Characters? Settings? Themes?
