anthropomorphism??

The application of human traits to a non-human physical or metaphysical entity.

Minus the jargon, and you should know this by now. Either way, it's a good one to learn. Markers love this kind of technical language.

would using "past tense narration" and "first person narration" count as a technique when answering a question? or did i just screw my assessment over..

Absolutezero · 8 Mar 2009, 8:45 PM

Yes, as it is part of the language construct.

First person narration is definitely fine; i think past tense narration is ok as well but i think you'd probably be best of referring to the tone or something of the like. For example, if it's a journal entry then it would be written in the past tense which you can imply by examining the 'reflective tone'. That said, i don't think there should be a problem with using 'past tense narration'. Just my two cents...

Ahh ok. Thanks for the quick replies guys! Much appreciated. =D

Past tense narration is a good one to note if it is the telling of a story. If in past tense from a first person perspective, it shows that the character makes it through the story alive. Or, its being told by an astral ghost.
