In a well-written prose work, authors often harness various narrative techniques to develop themes, characterizations, and the overall tone of the piece. Select a prose narrative of your choice and analyze how the author employs narrative techniques—such as point of view, structure, diction, and dialogue—to enhance the depth and complexity of the narrative. Consider how these techniques shape the reader's understanding of character motivations and thematic concerns. Be sure to provide specific examples and quotations from the text to support your analysis.
