Norrator point of view about the life of an adult her culture in the "excerpt from minuk :ashes in the path way
Explanation:
Hill's (The Year of Miss Agnes ) finely detailed novel set in a Yup'ik Eskimo village in the 1890s feels mesmerizingly authentic.
Minuk, the narrator, is 12 the spring that the missionary family arrives, and like the other children she is fascinated by the sight of her first kass'aq (white) woman and child. She can't imagine what the "sort of pink butterfly" hanging from the clothesline is (a corset, which astonishes her still further), and when Mrs. Hoff invites her inside for a cup of tea, she sits on a chair for the first time (and tips hers over) and slurps loudly, "to be polite." These initial misunderstandings may be comic, but the encounters between the Hoffs and the Yup'ik have grave consequences. Mr. and Mrs. Hoff condemn the villagers' rituals and practices. Yet, as seen through Minuk's eyes, the customs make sense, and Hill demonstrates that the Yup'ik belief systems are at least as coherent as Hoffs' version of Christianity ("If your god is love," Minuk asks Mr. Hoff, "why does he make people burn in hell?"). The author penetrates Yup'ik culture to such an extent that readers are likely to find the Hoffs more foreign than Minuk and her family. At the same time, the author doesn't glamorize the villagers, in particular exposing the severe conditions facing women. Not only the heroine but the vanished society here feel alive in their complexities. Ages 9-12. (Oct.)

Explanation:
Inverted sentences are those in which the order in which the predicate and the subject is presented in an inverted form to what is conventionally seen. That is, usually, the subject appears before the predicate, however, in the inverted sentences this order is changed and the predicate appears before the subject.
The above phrases, taken from "The wife of Baths" is an example of this. However, it is necessary that you understand what is predicate and subject.
Subject is the element of the sentence in which the verb is acting. In the case of the phrase "Today there walks the holy friar himself", the verb is "walks" and he refers to "holy friar", since it is holy friar who is walking. In this case, "holy friar" is the subject of the sentence.
The predicate refers to everything the subject is doing, in the case of the sentence above, the subject is walking in a location. This in the sentence is represented by "Today there walks," this being the predicate.
