Section 3: Section Diagnostic

With an understanding of how Morrison utilizes narrative shift in point of view, build upon your flashback narrative from the Section 2 Diagnostic, but this time, look at the same event from a different character’s point of view.

In writing your narrative vignette, be sure to do the following:

• Retell the same event from a different character’s point of view.

• Make purposeful choices in altering character point of view and narration.

• Use descriptive language to develop appropriate mood, voice, and tone.

• Include diction that provides insight into the character’s thoughts, views, and feelings, which influence how the reader responds to the story and character.
