__**POV**__

The novel, “ City of the Beasts, ”  is told in the third person point of view. Because the story has many important characters and focuses on the magic of the adventure, it is best told in this third person point of view. If it were written in the first person point of view, the story would have been told from the perspective of just one character. The third person point of view lets the readers know exactly what the characters feel, and thus emphasizing the adventure itself more.

Translation: pp. 110 last paragraph ~ 111 end of page.

The party spent a major part of the morning loading the boats. Professor Leblanc had brought more bundles than the photographers, including a supply of bottled water to use when he shaved because he was afraid of mercury-polluted water. It was futile for Cesar Santos to remind him that they would be camping far upstream of the gold mines. At the guide's suggestion, Leblanc had hired Karakawe, the Indian who had been fanning him the night before, as his personal assistant to look after him for the rest of the trip. Leblanc explained that he had a bad back and could not carry anything at all.

From the first day of our adventure, I had been responsible for my grandmother's things. That was one aspect of my duties, for which she was paying me a minimal amount, to be collected upon our return if I did my job well. Evey day, Kate jotted down the hours I worked and made me sign the page; that was how they kept track of what she owed. In a moment of candor, I told her about destroying everything in my room. She did not consider that to be terribly grave, since i twas her opinion that one needs very little in this world. She offered me a salary since I planned to replace what I had demolished. My grandmother traveled with three changes of cotton clothing, vodka, tobacco, shampoo, soap, insect repellent, a mosquito net, a blanket, paper, and a box of pencils -- all of in in a single canvas bag.

__**Discussion Prep**__  Really strong questions. :) Also decent picture with details. Nice connection, but one of the things that connects them heavily in my mind is the process of the heroic journey and how what they think they are searching for is not in actuality what the protagonists fine (Beasts and Alchemist). Your sheet is much deeper than your discussion.
