Hi there,

Use this blog to respond to the following:  Tears of a Tiger begins with a tragic accident- a fatal car crash caused by drinking and driving. The story is then told from the points of view of the group of friends involved, with no narrator present.
a.How does this method of telling the story affect the reader’s experience and response? Give specific sections of the book that are especially affected.
b.What advantages and disadvantages does this method of narration offer?
c.Think about Draper’s purpose in writing this book. How does her choice to leave out a narrator accomplish this purpose? Was it an effective choice?

    This method of telling the story effects the reader because the story is told about how people felt by using newspaper, homework, prayers, and conversations. The advantages of this story offer the reader how other people felt about the person dieing and one of the disadvantage is that there's not one narrorator in fact ther are no norroators at all. But her choice to leave out the narroator in this story is very good because the person who died was a very important person to everybody and so we can get the facts on how everyone felt about the boy who had died, and yes
