Bilgewater: Grammar
Task E - Narrative sentence types
We expect to see variation in sentence type (statements, questions, commands
etc) when conversation is depicted in the novel. But we normally expect
narration to consist of statements, because basically the narrator tells
us what happens in the fiction.
Look carefully at the sentences of narration in
the Bilgewater passage. Are there any variations from the 'narrative statement
rule'? If so, what effects are associated with the sentence types you
find?
