Assignment 2 (FGT)
This
novel has a very complex structure alternating between the past and the present
and the point of view of a whole host of different characters. Did this
narrative format work for you? Were there particular narrators you found more
compelling than others and why?
I hate the format of the book. It made things way more confusing. I liked when Mrs. Threadgoode was narration. It worked the best for me because it was easiest to follow and understand. The other ones were more difficult and I didn't like them.
ReplyDeletei got confused at points.I really like when mrs. thredgood talked i really like listening to the old storys that people tell.
ReplyDeleteI was able to read this book fine but i dont like the format. Mrs. Threadgoode was the best narrarator to me.
ReplyDeleteNo this narrative format did not work for me. It was very confusing and hard for me to understand the book. Throughout the whole book i was pretty much lost and had no clue what was going on. The theme of the book was good and and all but how they wrote the book is what i didnt like about it.
ReplyDeleteThis format of the book was okay for me. However, sometimes it did comfuse me but then I would just re-read it or just read more carefully. I found Idgie and Ruth's stories more interesting than Mrs. Threadgood and Evelyn's. Maybe it was just because they were more action packed and I could follow what they were doing easier than MRs. Threadgood's. Somethimes Mrs. Threadgood and Evelyn's side was interesting too. I just thought there was more action in Idgies. Except for when Twanda came out in Evelyn then it got interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe format of the book was a little confusing. It helped that the sections were labeled. The format allowed me to gain multiple perspectives. I enjored reading when Mrs. Threadgoode was narrarating. She reminded me of when my family tell me stories from their past. I also like reading the The Weems Weekly; it always made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI've written in this format before so it doesnt bother me. i can usually follow it fairly well. id just rather there be a straightforward story line rather than it jumping back and forth.
ReplyDeleteI did not like the format of the book because I found myself too confused when reading it. Generally, I read books that have one timeline, not two separate ones. Furthermore, I do not think that the narrator emphasized enough about what time period the reader switched to.
