a) How do the elements of the Story, exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution/denouement, affect the reading of the story?

b) How does the Point-of-View (1st person, 3rd person omniscient, 3rd person omniscient limited, or 3rd person omniscient objective) influence the readers emotional response to the story?

c) How does the use of flashback, foreshadowing, reflection, shift in time, tone, mood, setting or perspective impact the theme of the story?

the use of flashbacks and mood changes the theme from one of grief and sorrow to one of triumph over trauma

there are many different perspectives from different people that give meaning to the story

I think that having the resolution of her dying instead of getting out of the clay led to the meaning and message of the story to have a negative and melancholy feel.

The way that it was written gives the reader reasons to keep reading. The author made sentences with a lot of detail that would foreshadow the following events.

I think the climax was actually Rolfs epiphany that hiding behind the camera was his method of coping with reality. Azucena even tells him at one point that he doesn't have to worry about her anymore. Rolf responds by saying that it is him who is worried about. The real climax is when a ton of imagery and reflection is used to demonstrate Rolfs trauma which he had been suppressing, released by azucena's dire situation relating to him and his sisters'.

The elements of the story being somewhat out of structure (climax isn't easy to recognize, resolution is not at all resolving anything, almost the entire story is rising action) adds to the despair of it all, as the reality warps into something that doesn't feel right, which taps into the emotional aspect of the story.

B. the point of view being mostly in first person makes the story more suspenseful because we learn what happens as the narrator does, too. It is as if the narrator is reporting back to the reader what they see. This way the reader might be able to put themselves into the story, and watch it happen before them which creates a more impactful response that stays with them.

I think that making the perspective be one of the "life partner" of the Rolf adds another layer of sympathy that is provoked in the reader. Instead of just having a 3rd person narrator, it makes you see the situation from not only two, but three perspectives. We feel sympathy for the partner, the man, and the girl for different reasons.

The author changes points of view to highlight the severity of the situation and the trauma the characters face

the use of flashbacks and reflection allow for the relation of current trauma with past trauma

Rolf reflecting on his childhood about his sister Katharina impacts the theme because you notice he has already held the guilt of letting someone die. Reflecting on his past influenced him to attempt to save Azucena

Point-Of-View allows for the reader to see the perspective of the character. This allows the reader to truly see the terrifying events that she is going through

Switching point of view helps the reader understand more of the main character.

The 1st person view allows readers to feel the experience of Eva Luna watching the events unfold. A lot of fantastical imagery and metaphor is used to give readers a good sense of her investment in the situation, while also investing readers into the situation.

I thought it was very interesting how the author chose to write the story from Eva Luna's Point-Of-View because she was an outsider and was not directly involved in the story. I wonder if the author wrote like this because she felt like an outsider after her uncles death
