update on independent novel
Because of the snow days and Fahrenheit, I haven't had to post on my independent novel in a while. I am still reading "The Global War on Morris" and it has been very good so far. The best part of my book is the third -person omniscient perspective. This not only drives the plot of the book because the reader can see more of each event and foreshadowing is more evident, but it makes the book more interesting because it adds a large amount of characterization to the book because the reader knows the thoughts of most of the characters. Although the focus of the book is still mostly on the main character, Morris, the choice of third person perspective means that the author also shows sides of the story through other characters' thoughts and actions which makes the book more understandable because events that the main character might not see or be aware of can be shown through other characters. It's not that I don't like books written in first person, but I think that the third- person perspective add an element to the comedic and satirical nature of the book, while also serving the author's purpose well.
