Literary Ruminations: The relative strength of first vs. third person narrative - WebTarkeena

Literary Ruminations: The relative strength of first vs. third person narrative. July 31st, 2013 (10:47 pm). And now for something completely random. OK, I cant come up with any more. Id say 80% of what I read is third person, and many of my very favorite books are third person. My observation is primarily that - when a comparison is possible - it seems that authors write stronger novels when they actually get completely inside their characters head. Anyone else have any examples or counter examples?

Redhirts, Narrative, and God's Will For Your Life. July 29th, 2012 (11:51 pm). At church one Sunday, the small group question was asked Why do we find it hard to trust God to meet all of our needs? My impulsive answer - which I must confess had a dram of frustration in it - was because sometimes he *doesnt! OK, and also, he seems to expect us to do quite a lot about them as well. The blog, on the other hand, asked the question does God have a will for our lives? June 13th, 2010 (11:00 pm). And I Liked my...

June 9th, 2012 (09:47 pm). Warning: this is not a happy story, or one with a happy ending, or even one without a bit of blood and guts. OK, youve been warned. July 2nd, 2010 (08:24 pm). From Collins 2.1. Grace Katherine is due November 17th. So far everything looks hunky dory, and although tired, I most of the time barely remember I am pregnant - until I get kicked, that is, which is happening with considerably more regularity. Time to go crazy with the pink! June 13th, 2010 (11:00 pm). Or eat the pieces...

The end of the story. June 20th, 2012 (09:09 pm). Those of you who following this blog know that I experienced a miscarriage a week and a half ago that landed me in the ER on Friday the 6th. Very frustrated, I spent another full day (probably too full! Hours in I was given 3 tylenol with half a glass of water and told to drink as little as possible. It could have been the nectar of the gods. Oh my goodness, I hope Never to be restricted like that again! We were sent home around 6 am. Friends surround...

Here is the rest of the story. Tarkheena Crafts (My Craft Blog). Thirty was so strange for me. I've really had to come to terms with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult. God is subtle, but he is not malicious.

Even longer story short, after a 90 minute wait (Another logistical note: Friday night is not a slow time in the ER! The doctors and nurses ran several batteries of tests and exams, pumped me full of fluids (I didnt need any blood, thank you God! A note for his boss at work. I wondered if perhaps I could get a note excusing me from work? You're in ...

February 14th, 2012 (10:02 pm). Really, I promise that this particular mnemonic began developing well before the potty training even started. Of course, any experienced mom knows that it is perfectly rational to pray for um, #1 (not to mention the even-more-challenging #2! But I wanted to pray for more than just the obvious. And every time I started brainstorming I came up with even more Ps to pray for. That I might have the wisdom to perceive what is really going on - that for each incident of minor or ...
