7 Finally, POV seemed to shift in this weekend's reading. Discuss the effect and added purpose to the novel. Before this weekend's reading, the story was very low-key. It merely described the atmosphere and the surroundings of Utajima. Therefore, we didn't really get to know the characters, so it had more general point of view: a third point of view. However, through out this weekend's reading, I got to know a little bit more about the characters. Especially Shinji and Chiyoko. The book goes into the thoughts and feelings of these characters, which let me see these characters as if they were the narraters themselves (first person).
