Example text
Third-person narration (‘he’/‘she’) can work equally well, especially if the structure allows for lots of dialogue. The advantage is that an author can exploit the contrast between formal description and speech so that readers do not tire of one style. Here is an example from A Kestrel for a Knave by Barry Hines: …Jud was having his breakfast when Billy came downstairs. He glanced up at the clock. It was twenty-five to six. ’ He whooshed the curtains open and switched the light off. The morning light came in clean as water, making them both look towards the window.
C) The language of the first extract is in a dialect (1); for example, ‘leh we’ which would be ‘let us’ in standard English (1). It is also informal (1); for example the use of ‘yes’ (1), which makes it sound as though the poet is talking directly to the reader (1). In the second extract, the poet refers to universal objects (1); for example, the stars, the sun and the moon/the points of the compass (1) to show how important his love was to him in his life (1). (d) The structure of the first extract is free and informal (1), with irregular line-lengths (1) and verse-lengths (1).
It was twenty-five to six. ’ He whooshed the curtains open and switched the light off. The morning light came in clean as water, making them both look towards the window. The sun had not yet risen, but already the air was warm, and above the roof line of the house opposite, the chimney stack was silhouetted against a cloudless sky. ’ 37 STRUCTURE IN FICTION TEXTS (2) A different structural approach to narrative is to use two or more characters as narrators. This approach can either use the straightforward alternation of chapters or sections, or use devices such as diaries or letters interspersed in the text.
