Answer:

Explanation:

There are lots of language conventions, or techniques, used in this short story. I've provided some examples below. I hope you find the examples helpful.

I was walking to the nearest phone booth to call the landlady, when I heard that kettle's horrific scream behind me.

In this first example, the author has used personification (giving human characteristics to an inanimate object) to describe the kettle as "screaming." Using personification like this is an effective way of conveying the narrator's feelings, as those feelings seem to be manifested in her perceptions of the environment around her. The demonstrative pronoun "that" in this particular quote also attributes a special significance to this kettle, implying that it has already been the cause of some upset. The kettle is personified throughout the story, often as "that evil kettle" or "the demonic kettle." In fact the repetition (another common language convention in literature) of the personification arguably.

Which point of view would you use to speak as though you were one of the characters in the story?
snow_tiger [21]

The point of view that I would you as if I were one of the characters of a story is the “First person point of view”.

This point of view allows the reader to know the narrator's feelings and emotions. This is a subjective point of view as the narrator tells the events in a story through his perspective which does not mean that they are true. If an author uses this point of view, he is interested in the development of the main character's personality and actions and not in the rest of the characters.
