Participants will tackle the techniques of storytelling. Who tells the story and how? Will the narrator be an observer, like Nick Carroway in The Great Gatsby or will the main character tell his own story, as did Holden Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye? Will the narration be in first person, omniscient, limited omniscient, etc.? What are the advantages and limitations of these narrative forms? How about tense? For example, if the story’s narrator chooses to spin the yarn in the present tense, what does the story gain or lose? Be prepared to write.
