An essay on Hills like white elephants

Hills like white elephants.

Eest Hemingway

Lines 1-10 :

In this part I think the focalizer is Inteal because we do not know if he knows everything like God or even less than a character so we can say focalizer is Inteal and it tells us everything that a picture would tell.

Lines 10-17:

The focalizer is Zero (God like) because he just narrates us the story like a camera man. But in my opinion it can also be Exteal or even Inteal because we didn’t hear anything about any character’s thoughts or feelings which is not mentioned by the characters themselves.

Lines 17-21:

Again like the previous part the focalizer can be Zero just because it tells us anything from the eye of a camera man. POV is objective because it can just go anywhere but can record only what is seen and heard. It can comment interpret or enter a character’s mind.

Lines 21- End:

I think in this wide part the focalizer is Inteal because he is giving us just what he exactly hears. The most important thing that I have realized just right now is that from the begiing of this story we can say that the focalizer is Inteal (as I said in the first analytic paragraph of this story) because we do not know if it knows everything like God or less than a character so we can say it is Inteal and it tells us everything that a picture would tell. The Point Of View of this section is Objective because the voice (author) is not here to explain the feelings and thoughts of characters. According to P.232, the purest example of a story told from the Objective point of view would be one written entirely in dialogue, so we realize that the POV till now were objective.
