Thoughts on voice.
OK, well it seams very obvious to me that this story is written using the voice of a child. This seamed very interesting to me because I wanted to know why Loung Ung decided to write the book in this voice, and not in a voice of her grown up looking back at the events. I defiantly feel that using this voice really adds personal feeling to the book. This voice allows you to see her problem the exact same way that she originally saw it. I feel that if it had been written any other way. Than it would change the whole feel of the book. What are your thoughts? Do you think that if Loung Ung had written it in a different voice, you would of read and thought of the book differently? Or would you read and think of the book the same as you did?

I agree with what you said that if she wrote it as a grown up she would have a different perspective at her childhood. If she did it would change the whole way the book was written. I would think it would be more detailed as a third person point of view.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said, it doesn't seem like the story is written when she was grown up. If the story was written as a memory it would be different in point of view. I also feel that her tone in how she wrote it would change.
ReplyDeletethis book was not written as an adults point of view but as a childs. i think that she made this book like into her diary from her being a child
