Timed BCR 8 Jen Jameson

Explain how the point of view of the text influences your understanding of the plot and characters. Be sure to use details and examples from the story to support your answer.

The point of view of this story is told by using third person limited. I think this influences the plot both positively and negatively. The reason I think the plot is influenced positively because it was told in third person, what affects the plot negatively, is that it was written using third person limited, which doesn’t tell you about all that happened, and the narrator won’t know all that happened. However it was still written in third person, which makes the situation seem more “fair” and choosing sides will be more independent than if it was written in first person. Mary Walker is influenced positively since she stands to be the “good guy” and the United States government looks bad. Reflection

This was honestly one of the worst BCRs I have ever written, i got a 2/4. I definitely could have improved this BCR. If I had the chance to re-do it, I would list a little about the story, because where I re-read my BCR, I don’t even know what story I was talking about. I also didn’t list any real answers like in the sentence… “The reason I think the plot is influenced positively because it was told in third person, what affects the plot negatively” I didn’t give my answer. I just skipped to the next line, which I don’t think I meant to do because I just noticed it now. Those are definitely the first changes I would make, and hope for better scores.
