Literacy Elements


My fake boyfriend is a story on Wattpad and it doesn't particularly have "pages" more like chapters so i'll just post how many chapters i've read.
Monday: 3 chapters about 30 minutes
Tuesday: 2 chapters around 25 minutes 
Wednesday: 20 minutes 2 chapters 
Thursday: did not read, watched TVD instead!!
Friday: 1 hour maybe 5 chapters
Saturday: ran a race, than slept all day <3 
Sunday: 20 minutes 2 chapters

In "To Dah-Duh" point of view seems like a strong element. I don't know, maybe it's because it was our groups topic that day. But the point of view is first person. It seemed like she was looking back on it. The grand-daughter was narrating the story. I can tell because on page 129 it says, " She died and I lived, but always to this day even, within the shadow of her death. For a brief period i was grown i went to live alone, like one doing penance, 17 in a loft above a noisy factory in downtown New York...". I think her point of view is omniscient because she's looking back on it so she knows everything that has happened.
My observation matters because if you didn't know what the point of view was or who was narrating the story you'd be very confused as to where the story was coming from. The story wouldn't be the same or make sense if you didn't know who the narrator was. If you thought it was the mother it wouldn't make sense and the same goes for Dah-Duh. I think out of all the literacy elements point of view is the most prominent, and also the easiest.
