The author, Anna Sewell, says in the second paragraph,”... I knew my mother always wore one when she went out, and all horses did when they were grown up, and so, what with the nice oats, and what with my master’s pats, kind words, and gentle ways, I got to wear my bit and bridle.” Not only does this prove what the girl from The Georges and the Jewels thought, but it also shows the reader that the horse was young, but wanted to act older like his mother. In light of this evidence, the reader can conclude that first person point of view is very effective in developing characters. As you can see, by using first person point of view, the authors of The Georges and the Jewels and Black Beauty: the Autobiography of a Horse, rather adequately express the character’s notions, thoughts, and
In passage #1, Peace Like a River, Leif Enger uses a first person point-of-view in order to tell the story of Davy’s encounter with Basca and Finch and to clarify details of a scene. In a first person point-of-view, the narrator of this book has a subjective narration because the narrator seems unreliable and tries to get the reader on their side. There are several advantages to this type of point of view such as learning the feeling of the speaker/narrator and first hand account for the scene occurring at that time; for example, in passage one Rueben explains his viewing of the shooting of Finch and Basca, however, this type of narration can in fact weaken the piece of literature because the none of the other characters have a feeling being

In the book “Killers of the Dream” by Lillian smith there are several ideas that are brought forward that really demonstrate that the author exaggerates the true situation and the state of affairs in the south. In the context of the book, the south was experiencing serious crisis when the whited propagated segregation against the blacks and other low class whites. The paper contains the author’s thesis and a summary of the author’s primary points. Additionally, the paper examines whether the authors account is incomplete, questionable or cases where the account does not make sense. The social profiling that resulted was regrettable and brought serious repercussions to the society in general.
To begin with, the article “ The George and Jewels” by Jane Smith develops the characters by having a human girl as the narrator. The stories are both first person point of view . A piece of textual evidence would be “with the wind knocked out of you and think about how nice it would be not to get back on because the horse is just dedicated to bucking you off”(Smith 1). This shows that the narrator does not like horses because horses give him pain and she just wishes she could stop riding horses and lay down .

Stacy Davis, self-proclaimed activist for feminism and womanism, is a “scholar trained in feminist theory and African American biblical hermeneutics” (Davis 23). In her article, The Invisible Woman: Numbers 30 and the Policies of Singleness in Africana Communities, Davis argues for a prominent place for single woman (specifically those who have never married) in biblical scholarship, and as leaders in the church, with questions of their sexuality left alone. Davis argues this viewpoint from the perspective as an unmarried black woman. Davis establishes the foundation for her argument in Numbers 30, a text that altogether omits reference to single woman, rather each group of women mentioned in the text about vows refers to them in relation to men (21). Thus, Davis establishes the omission of single women in the Hebrew Bible as the invisible women.
