Q Without rewriting anything, just describe and explain how the original story would be different if told by a different narrator: a different character or person (1st person narrator, 2nd person narrator, 3rd person narrator, or omniscient narrator). Again, imagine how the story would be different if the point of view were changed by either a different character narrating or the story being narrated in a different narrative "person," 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or omniscient. For example, scholars commonly accept that "A Rose for Emily" is narrated by an unnamed towns-person, who shares the town gossip about Miss Emily with us, the reader. (In fact, as readers, we too, become part of the gossip whirlwind and mystery surrounding Miss Emily.) But how would the story be different if, say, Miss Emily were telling the story? Or her man-servant, Toby?
