Answer:John Steinbeck's "The Chrysanthemums" is a short story about a woman's transformation. "The Chrysanthemums" opens with the protagonist, Elisa Allen working in her garden. Her husband, Henry approaches her to ask her out to dinner and a movie to celebrate the sell of thirty steers. They seem to be a well matched couple, however, their way of talking together is serous and formal. Henry goes back to work and a wanderer who travels up and down the coast repairing pots and sharpening scissors approaches Elisa. Her conversation with this odd man leaves her feeling frustrated and dissatisfied. By the end of the story Elisa is a completely different person than she was before. Elisa experiences an incredible transformation that can be seen through her appearance and speech.
In the beginning of the story Elisa is viewed as a tomboy. She does not have any feminine qualities. Elisa is described as a thirty-five year old woman. She has a lean and strong face with eyes as clear as water. Her figure looks blocked and heavy in her gardening costume. She wore a man's black hat which she pulled down low over her eyes. She also wore clod-hopper shoes, a figured print dress almost completely covered by a big corduroy apron with four big pockets to hold her gardening tools. She wore heavy leather gloves to protect her hands while she worked. While Elisa is gardening she meets a stranger who compliments her flowers in the hopes that this will gain him some work. The stranger asks Elisa if he can have some of her chrysanthemums to take to another one of his customers. Immediately a change takes place in Elisa. She takes off her black hat and shakes out her dark beautiful hair. The big leather gloves that protect and hide her feminine hands are now forgotten. Elisa is starting to lose the things that make her unfeminine.
After the peddler leaves Elisa gets ready to go to town with Henry. She puts on her newest undergarments and the dress that is a symbol of her prettiness.

Answer:
The reader might learn new information.
Explanation:
Narration is point of view.
There could be first person, where the narrator is a character in the story.
"I jumped into the air."
Second person is when the author is addressing you, the reader, but this isn't really used in stories.
"You jumped into the air."
Third person is when the narrator talks about the story and the characters.
"He jumped into the air."
In first person, you could have multiple people narrating the story at different times. For example, here are two people narrating the story:
"I jumped into the air."
"I saw bob jump into the air across the street. Oh, no! He forgot that he ate 10 hot dogs yesterday! He's going to vomit!"
As you can see, going into another person's mind to see their perspective of the story can greatly change what is going on. You can learn new information based on who is the narrator.
