The author's purpose of the criticism written is about Sebold's use of omniscient narration in her book, The Lovely Bones. Alice Sebold uses this omniscient narration to discover the living's response to the dead, and the dead's response to the very same misfortune. The author of the book uses the character that actually died, to observe her family and show the effectiveness of her death. The structure of the critiques argument was very structured. The focus was consistent, and the writing was very easy to interpret and understand. The evidence given in the critique in my opinion helped the author's case because she explains with quotes from the novel for evidence, as well as explaining the plot given, and showing the point of view of the character. Conclusions reached by the author are that by using the technique of the omniscient narration, Alice Sebold can give readers a distinctive view point and provide depth and context where each character's grief and recovery can be interpreted by the reader. Biases that may contribute to the author's purpose and conclusions could be that the author critiquing this novel is a reader herself, and likes the work of different viewpoints and narration. The author's explicit assumptions are that the viewpoints of the novel are positive for the themes involved in the text, and arguments brought up during the entirety of the novel.
