1) Who tells the story? Through whose eyes (or from what point of view) do we see the characters and the action? 2) How does he/she tell it? In real time? In memory? In a series of letters? As a voice from beyond the grave? 3) What tone does the narrator employ? Loopy like Mark Watney in The Martian? Wry and knowing like Binx Boiling in The Moviegoer? Elegiac like Karen Blixen/Isak Dinesen in Out of Africa?
