Help! Which perspective is this written from?
Hello,
Im James, my first post (and, to be honest, there won't be too many others) and i'm in need of a little help. I'm doing an English language AS Level course, and i've had to write and short story, and of course, a commentary on it.
Now, the majority of my short is written in the third person, as i talk about characters as 'he' 'she' or 'they', at no point in the story do i use 'i'. However, this is the final paragraph;
"It’s not just the Spaniards who speak Spanish, contrary to popular belief. You see, it was all a publicity stunt. The gullible nature of the public was there to be capitalized on. We Chileans knew that our country was destined for almost certain economic and political demise, and a minority decided to try and do something about it. Me? Well, I’m the head of the minority. Killing two and a half million people in the process might be drastic, but it worked. I’m not a murderer, I’m a realist…"
I'm wondering if that kind of writing (where the narrator directly addresses the reader) has a special name of some sort?
Any help would be much appreiciated. thanks in advance, James.
