Uddrag
The story has a first-person narrator, as the story is told through Paul’s point of view, therefor it is also a subjective point of view. Our view on the other characters in the story is based on how the narrator understands them, or how he wants us to know them.
As a reader we feel connected to Paul, as we get to know all of his thoughts. It does not take much to affect him, an example of that is when Nut tells him to go and pinch an old lady from the nursing home. ‘’Go kidnap one,' said Nut. Jack and Nut couldn't stop laughing at the joke.
