Reread the following sentence from the beginning of "The Grasshopper and the Bell Cricket": "Behind the white board fence of the
school playground, from a dusky clump of bushes under the black cherry trees, an insect's voice could be heard." The narrator's description of himself as an observer promotes a feeling of A. disgust. B. excitement. C. isolation. D. inclusion.
The narrator puts himself as part of the story. When a narrator describes situations in the story where he puts himself as an observer, this narrator ends up promoting a sense of inclusion. This is because, by observing the scene and describing it, the author is included in the story and becomes part of that narrative as a being that is included in the plot and is observing everything inside the plot.
In this story, the author places himself as the observer of the events. He describes the clump of bushes, as well as the insect's voice in a way that makes it sound as if the author was in the scene. This leads to a feeling of inclusion, because the reader is made to feel as if he was also participating in the events being described.
