Think about the GENRE of the story and about the issue of 'credibility' we have talked about before. Some genres, like fantasy, ghost stories, or some science fiction, need very good narration to make them seem convincing.

What is it about this part of the story that is difficult for the reader to believe and how do the narrative points of view help the authors to make the story seem believable?
