Question

Whose sights, thoughts, and feelings does the narrator present? Explain how the story might be different if readers knew more about the thoughts of the other characters. (This is for the story “The Treasure of Lemon Brown”)

Answer 1

The narrator is presenting the thoughts of Greg Ridley.

The story would have been different if the thoughts of other characters would have been presented as it would have shed light on other areas as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

'The Treasure of Lemon Brown' is a novel written by Walter Dean Myers. The novel is about Greg Ridley and his meeting with the famous blues singer, Lemon Brown.

The narrative used in the novel is third person limited. This narrative sheds light on the thoughts of limited characters. In the novel 'The Treasure Of Lemon Brown' the narrator has expressed the thoughts of Greg Ridley only.

The setback of this type of narrative is that readers are left to thinking what would be the thoughts of other characters in the text. For instance, in this novel, we do not know what Lemon Brown was feeling. This sets a back-drop on narration as it limits the thoughts of other characters.
