POV Assignment Jenny: **

Discuss again the POV of the book. Why is it particularly appropriate? Individually, rewrite one event or one section with an entirely different POV.

The story is written in third person limited omniscience point of view. This POV is particularly effective in this book because it allows the narrator to straightforwardly state the presence of a spirit or a "magical" being as a solid fact, without making us wonder whether it is actually true or if it's simply part of the character's delirium.

When I woke up, I found myself next to Nadia. I was no longer in the Indian's hands; in fact, I was situated in the very center of the camp, on top of a mound of humus. Feeling a sense of pain in my head, I put my hands to the head and took it back towards my face. When I tasted my fingers, I realized instantly that it was blood - they had smashed down upon my head.

Nadia, who obviously noticed my horror, shushed me quietly.

"Pretend it doesn't hurt," she said. "Like a true warrior." **
